Marijuana-Flavored Candy Shows Up At Stores Nationwide

POSTED: 10:33 am EDT June 20, 2005

ATLANTA -- Some anti-drug advocates are a little out of joint -- over marijuana-flavored candy.

Lollipops with names like Purple Haze, Acapulco Gold and Rasta are showing up on the shelves of convenience stores and smoke shops nationwide. The novelties are flavored with hemp oil from the marijuana plant.

But any trace of THC, the stuff that gives marijuana its high, has been removed.

Marketers said their candy is perfectly legal. But government and law enforcement officials counter that the pot candy sends the wrong message to kids.

A New York City councilwoman plans hearings on the issue this summer. And the council in an Atlanta suburb has passed a resolution condemning the pot candy.

What's next? Toy soldiers and dolls that tell kids to beat their older brothers' testicles with a rubber mallet? I don't see what's so illegal about that, as long as the manufacturers don't provide the mallets...

My dad bought some hemp oil from the Ohio Hempery, down in Meigs County. I didn't think the stuff really smelled or tasted like a joint. There was a pro-pot legalization gubernatorial candidate in Kentucky a few years back who cooked an entire dinner w/ hemp oil based dishes for a bunch of bigwigs in the state government, whom were then tested for THC the next day, and none tested positive.

For some reason I'm lead to believe you know what a joint tastes like

When I said "This can't be good" I was speaking of the flavor. I just can't see something like a spinach flavored lollipop tasting good.
