'Chronic Candy' Faces Calif. Ban (WTF???)
'Chronic Candy' Faces Calif. Ban

POSTED: 7:11 am EDT April 5, 2006

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Marijuana-flavored lollipops, gum balls and chocolates with names such as Hydro and Sticky Icky Buds could be banned in Alameda County under an ordinance being considered by the Board of Supervisors.

The ordinance would ban goodies made by Corona, Calif.-based Chronic Candy, whose Web site promotes the tag line "every lick is like taking a hit" and features endorsements from pot-loving rapper Snoop Dogg and hotel heiress Paris Hilton.

The ordinance says the candy improperly influences teens and young adults and promotes illegal behavior.
.....
He said parents should use the candy as a tool to teach their children about the dangers of drug use.

1. Well some years back
they banned Baa Baa Rum Candy cause it had splash of alcohol in it. The candy didn't taste good but 'they' were still convinced it would turn everybody into alcoholics. :shrug:

When I was a kid you could buy candy cigarettes but I don't see them anymore, probably just as well cause they were pure sugar. :puke:

2. It'll be banned until the Pharm companies figure out how
to market it and make massive profits from Chemo patients.
