A Perth cafe owner has been slapped with a fine and court costs after selling marijuana brownies to a young family back in 2018.

On Wednesday owner of Bada Bing café in Woodlands Nathan Sharp was found guilty of selling the laced treats to a family including two young children.

Sharon Hoysted and her two children, aged three and five at the time, started feeling unwell after returning home from the cafe.

Tests at the hospital, determined all three had tetrahydrocannabinol in their systems.

Sharp admitted in court he had made cannabis brownies at his home five months earlier, but maintained they were thrown away.
