Marijuana-flavored lollipops with names such as Purple Haze, Acapulco Gold and Rasta are showing up on the shelves of convenience stores around the country, angering anti-drug advocates.“It’s nothing but dope candy, and that’s nothing we need to be training our children to do,” said Georgia state Sen. Vincent Fort, who has persuaded some convenience stores to stop selling the treats.
The confections are legal, because they are made with hemp oil, a common ingredient in health food, beauty supplies and other household products. The oil imparts a marijuana’s grassy taste but not the high.
They’re talking about Chronic Candy (I’m sorry, that’s a stupid fucking flash site. You know who uses flash? Fucking morons use flash.)
I gotta say — as an old ex stoner, I think this is pretty entertaining. I mean, take me back to the old days when I smoked that shit by the bagfull. Dude — whoa.
But as a parent? Honestly, I’m more worried about the fact that it’s candy. Candy does more harm than fuckin’ pot does.
(Opens mouth)
You put your weed in there. 🙂
This is right up there with that Libertarian passing out toy guns in Harlem. Some people just don’t grasp the concept of going too far.
If the worst thing my kids ever do is smoke dope, I’ll consider the whole operation a success.
Compared to alcohol, and especially compared to all that other shit you and I used to get up to, pot is pretty fucking harmless.
Well, it says pot “flavored” and I wouldn’t want to eat it, espeically without any THC. It’s one of those stupid attempts to be hip and bring people in and then rip them off really quickly before they figure it out.
Hemp oil doesn’t have any real amounts of THC and the real damage comes from smoking anyway. So this is just a stupid way to rip kids off but it won’t addict anyone and I can’t see that it’s a gateway to anything. Not that this will stop the DARE people from making up some hysterical accusations.
But yes, candy does more harm than pot, LOL.
