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.
The measure takes effect July 1st.
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."
State Representative Judy Manning said she was shocked to receive death threats over the bill to ban the candy. "Some people think their rights are their rights," she said.
Manning said the Georgia Bureau of Investigation traced her e-mail threat to Great Britain. “You just deal with those kinds of folks and do the best you can. But it sends the wrong kind of message to kids.”
Vote Hemp, a national organization that promotes the use of hemp products and tracks legislation, says the measure would make Georgia the first state to ban the sale of the candy to minors.

there are cereals that have hemp oats in them. theres a lot of food that uses hemp and hase THC in them taht are legal. if they are gonna ban this candy, they should ban all candy that are in gun shapes and those bubblegum ciggarettes. ban them all or ban none, dont single one out.

Yeah. NOVA for the lose, man.
And wtf, now they ban mari-joo-wanna candy too?
How stupid is that? Might as well ban Poppy-seed bagels because they have traces of Opium in it.
It makes no sense, really. Just because it's flavored like it, doesn't mean it's a drug. They might also want to ban this purfume this girl I know wears. It has that distinct smell pot has without the smoke.
And to be honest, Pot's a PLANT. It's not hurtin' anyone. But things like cocaine and heroine, someone cooks that up in a lab or something. I don't think I'd get arrested for going and rolling a maple leaf off a tree and smokin' that. o_o;

some weed `actu`ally smells hell`a good BD.
`and @wh`ales:
its not the direct results of smoking pot th`at c`aused the b`an, its the choices people m`ade b`ack when it was still leg`al th`at ruined it for everyone. plus the culture sourounding its use tod`ay is pretty shitty now. so when kids c`an smoke it responcibly then it will be leg`al.
George w`ashington h`arvested it b`ack in the d`a`a`a`ay. they'd light b`ales of it under `a c`anopy `and chill in the smoke.

Oh, she does. But she wears the perfume sometimes when she's sober. :O
But [tkoold] DOES win. In fact, no one cares about North cali, which has... Nothing in it. South Cali is where all the crazy shit happens. Like in San Fran, Oakland, San Jose, All those random spanish-named places. (Wait, Oakland isn't spanish. ... *Gunshots*)

San Fran and Oakland are in whats called the "Bay Area" specifically the "East Bay" and are considered Northern California.

But see, you don't get it. I draw the line differently. Geographically speaking, the Bay area is considered North Cali, but I say, since it's not boring as hell, it's south cali. :)
