But you can't get high from it. I thought this was cute: Marijuana-Flavored Candy Blasted By DOUG GROSS, Associated Press Writer document.write(getElapsed("20050621T224040Z"));Tue Jun 21, 5:40 PMUPDATED 18 HOURS 4 MINUTES AGO ATLANTA - 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. Merchants call them a harmless novelty for adults and insist they advise stores to sell only to people 18 and older. "There are more than 70 million people in the United States who smoke marijuana. We're catering to the audience of people who are in that smoking culture," said Rick Watkins, marketing director for Corona, Calif.-based Chronic Candy, which uses the slogan "Every lick is like taking a hit." (ROTFLOL. M.) An Atlanta company called Hydro Blunts markets a similar product under the name Kronic Kandy, which is made in the Netherlands. New York City Councilwoman Margarita Lopez introduced a resolution condemning the candies when she saw them at convenience stores near schools in her district. She plans to hold hearings this summer. At Junkman's Daughter, an Atlanta novelty shop, the suckers are sold near the cash register from a bucket labeled with a marijuana leaf. "We've got probably every weird kind of candy there is in here," owner Pam Majors said. "If it was anything you could get high off of, we wouldn't carry it, obviously."
That is kool! I wonder if they have 'em here too, if they come from the netherlands... I once had seeds, sugar and cinnamon coated, they were yummy! (legal, healthfood store ones)
See, I knew something was up. Fuck those black guys at bonnaroo yelling "every lick is like taking a hit" then lying to me when I asked if there was any THC in them. Now, I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but these pops were professionally packaged, what the fuck factory is going to make candy with a drug in them, when it's illegal? I was like man these guys are liars, they're up to some shit, now you post this here... They had a van that said chronic candy, they were yelling "DIME BAGS, DIME BAGS," fuck them... They probably got a lot of people to buy them though, not me.
they are horrible tasting, ,,, a couple months back on theout skirts of atlanta i saw them n bought a couple... nasty is all i can recall,,,, was thinkin this am that if i was a young kid n tasted them thinkin it would be like pot then i prolly wouldnt bother smoking...
i've heard of these things for like 4 or 5 years now.... there use to be ads all the time in hightimes magazine for them... they taste like shit though... maybe they should name them all "mexican dirt" and not disgrace the name of haze and such
They taste pretty crappy, huh? I have never seen them before, and thought it was cute. Not if people are selling them as weed, though.
Yea, these guys were at bonnaroo with a van that said chronic candy and has those pops out. They're yelling "DIME BAGS DIME BAGS" "EVERY LICK IS LIKE TAKING A HIT" and I went over to look at them. I asked the guy a bunch of questions and he was telling me that they had oil from this plant that plant blah blah saying it was just like weed brownies but they made candy... but it's hard for anyone with half a brain to believe them since they had a van that was decked out with the logo and all, and their candy was all professionally packaged... People selling illegal stuff aren't gonna make that big of an advertisement.
