A Dunedin dairy owner faces possible prosecution after self-filling re-sealable bags of cut-price synthetic cannabis, police say.
A plain-clothes policeman visited several legal-high sellers yesterday, and police said he found one central Dunedin dairy owner flouting the law.
The undercover officer was offered to choose from a box containing 200 unmarked plastic bags of cheap synthetic cannabis, Senior Sergeant Chris McLellan said.
While police declined to name the dairy, the owner was helpful and maintained he did not know he could not sell "product in that format".
Police said the dairy owner admitted to buying synthetic cannabis in bulk and then "used primitive measuring techniques - a spoon - to measure out the quantity".
