I'm sitting here right now sort of laughing...I am torn between the inventiveness and free enterprise system... V.S. The have you lost your freaking mind side of the coin.
Alameda County, that's in sunny California for those of you who don't own a map or care...Is considering banning the new candy produced by a company under Corona.. Its called Chronic Candy.
Its tag line is... Get this... "Every lick is like taking a hit". WHY? Because all these assorted goodies...Such as gum balls, lollipops and chocolates with names such as Hydro or Sticky Icky Buds.....Taste like...Yep, you guessed it!...Marijuana.
They do have a website for those of you who like to surf. Featuring their products along with a very pimped out gentleman and a young lady sporting some very short shorts that expose most of her ass. Not sure what that has to do with candy. But I guess sex sells.....And apparently so does drug flavored candy.
The company says...That the goodies are flavored with Hemp Oil but does not contain THC. Which as I am sure most of you already know gives Pot its Buzzzzzzzzzzzz. The company is going all out to promote this new treat. Using spokes persons like Snoop Dogg and Paris Hilton to sell their flavorful buzz free confections.
The Alameda Board of Supervisors is proposing to ban the new goodies...saying it promotes illegal behavior and improperly influences teens and young adults. Maybe they have a point. If you recall back in the day, "They"...I mean candy manufacturers made candy cigarettes for kids. Of course back then smoking was the thing to do...and kids liked emulating their parents. When we took the Marboro Man and Joe the Camel out of view of children, we also did away with any candy or cartoon that promoted smoking to kids.
But you gotta love the creativity of Chornic Candy....They state that the candy is meant for use by adults. And it should be used as a family teaching tool to open discussion about the dangers of drug use.
LMAO
"Yes Little Timmy...Mommy and Daddy are indeed enjoying this flavorful and tasty pot flavored lollipop...Now that you meantion it...Lets discuss drugs".
The question that pops into my mind...Is anyone really that stupid? Or better yet how dumb do you think your kids are?
Hey they got my attention...if for no other reason.....Id just like to see how you get there from here...lol

I believe the State of Georgia outlawed that candy last fall. Personally, I can't imagine it being very tasty. (never used pot so I really don't know)
A couple of years ago the "Save the Children!" issue was tequila lollypops.
Youre right I think the article did mention that Ga had already pulled the plug on the candy. But I agree I think it would taste nasty.
My feelings are if I wanted to eat something that tasted like a chocolate covered bug..why not eat the real thing.
Tequilla is baaaaaaaaaadddd....exmi
It's just the government, once again, telling businesses what they can and can't do.
Which is bullshit.
The Chronic Candy doesn't contain THC and I didn't understand the ban. The only bad thing on this are spokes persons like Paris Hilton. "lol"
I Germany are such flavored candy's popular and the government earn much taxes with these things. But also real pot or marijuana is very popular her...
