No toke! Pot-flavored lollipops for Sale

[Champ]

City politicians are smoking mad over a line of pot-flavored candies for local customers with the munchies.
Chronic Candy - hemp-based novelty lollipops and gumdrops that claim "every lick is like taking a hit" - is sparking controversy among critics who feel the sweets promote drug use among kids.

"How could we go into market and create a product for children that encourages them to taste the taste of marijuana?" outraged Councilwoman Margarita Lopez (D-Manhattan) said on WPIX-Channel 11, "What is the message? 'Use drugs, that is okay?'"

The pot pops - which have been snapped up by the likes of rapper Snoop Dogg and Paris Hilton and are on sale in 43 stores around the city - contain no THC, the ingredient that gives pot users a "high."

8. As long as it tastes like good kind bud

I don't see what the problem is. The kids will learn to support local farmers, or at least US and Canada growers, instead of the crappy brick schwag weed that supports terrorism (according to the War on Drugs)!!! :P
