Georgia Stores Banned From Selling Pot Flavored Candy To Kids


ATLANTA -- Georgia retailers soon will be banned from selling candy flavored to taste like marijuana to children. Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue signed a measure into law Wednesday that bans the sale of "marijuana flavored products" to minors -- anyone under 18 -- and calls for a fine of up to $500 for each offense. It targets businesses that sell the candies with drug-inspired names such as "Kronic Kandy" and "Pot Suckers." The law says the candies promote drug use. Senator Doug Stoner pushed the bill in the senate. "I don't think that folks are aware this is going on," Stoner told Channel 2 in April. "It's mainly, from what I can tell, particularly targeted to minority communities."
Sonny Perdue? Doug Stoner? Am I on candid camera? Seriously, am I? How can a guy who pushes to ban the sale of marijuana flavored candy be named Doug Stoner? God is totally pissing himself about this one. Anyway I’m not even sure this story is right. Does the candy taste like dope which quite frankly I don’t even think is possible. Or does it just have drug names like Kronic Kandy and Pot Suckers? I’m thinking it has to be the latter right? And if so how is this anything new? Candy Cigarettes were like the first candy of all time closely followed by Alexander the Grapes. It’s just all part of the pomp and pageantry of the candy business.
