They have also issued a warning over the sweets and are now testing a number of the suspected drugs that have been recovered.
The Met said that the case might be linked to another similar incident in March when a woman was taken to hospital after eating a cannabis sweet in Tower Hamlets.
She has been discharged but police are looking to see if the incidents are connected and if the sweets came from the batch.
Chief Superintendent Stuart Bell, of the Met’s East Area Basic Command Unit, said: “I must warn the public against taking any illegal substances, including those packaged in the form of cannabis sweets.
“Please do not buy or consume these products. They are illegal and, because of the child-friendly packaging, they can pose a risk of accidental consumption."
Bell went on to say: “Drug dealers harm communities and risk the safety of individuals. We will take positive action to target those engaged in this activity as well as those found in possession of these substances."
He urged anyone with information about people selling illegal products to speak with local officers, call police on 101 or, to remain anonymous, contact Crimestoppers.
