Sanitary inspectorate warns against Brain Wash cannabis gummies after THC found in batch 0708BW06O

The warning

Poland's Chief Sanitary Inspectorate (GIS) has warned consumers not to eat batch number 0708BW06O of Brain Wash gummies, a cannabis product sold as a dietary supplement. The multifruit gummies contain added vitamin C and are sold in 100 g packs. The State Sanitary Inspection found tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive substance in cannabis, in the product. The batch carries a minimum durability date of 7 August 2027.

Health risk

According to a risk assessment by experts from the National Institute of Public Health (Państwowy Instytut Badawczy, National Research Institute), eating the product may pose a health risk given its THC content. THC acts on the nervous system and can cause mental and physical symptoms whose intensity depends on the dose, the route of intake and individual tolerance. The listed effects include euphoria, short-term memory disturbances, problems with concentration and coordination, a faster heartbeat and a stronger appetite for sweet, high-calorie food.

Producer response

The producer, DR JOINT sp. z o.o., based at ul. Prymasa Stefana Wyszyńskiego 1B in Kalisz (postal code 62-800), has stopped selling the product and started withdrawing it from trade. Sanitary authorities are conducting explanatory proceedings into how the disputed batch was placed on the market. Reports on the warning were published on 29 October 2026.
