AN EIGHTEEN-year-old woman who was rushed to hospital in Gloucestershire after taking a cannabis-related substance is recovering well.

Gloucestershire Police said the woman had been taken seriously ill after suffering what they believe may have been a severe reaction to Cannabidiol, a cannabis-derived substance, bought online. She was rushed to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital on Friday January 23.

Police are very happy that the outcome for this young woman appears to be good. However, their advice is never to buy or use any kind of drug obtained online.
