Georgia Law Bans Retailers From Selling 'Pot Candy' To Minors
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.
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.

So, what does it taste like….ashes and seeds?

WWW.LOLALIPS.COM
wow, this is so stupid. "some people think their rights are their rights" - DUH!
Ban it?- Who would want it anyway??? Pot tastes absolutely terrible. That's why it's so hard to make the brownies taste decent. You use the chocolate to drown out the taste. Geesh.
Um, pot doesn't smell good nor does it taste good. This shit does not get you high so whats the point?
SORRY….that sucker is fucking retarded! Suckers are mainly something a kid would buy and it does promote drug use. YEAH FOLKS! GREAT JOB MAKING A SUCKER THAT MAKES 12 AND 13 YEAR OLDS THAT POT IS COOL! If you smoke weed as an adult thats your choice…more power to ya…HOWEVER…ITS EXACTLY THE SAME AS TOBACCO COMPANIES TARGETING KIDS WITH THEIR ADVERTISING. IT SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW FOR ANYONE UNDER 18 TO EVEN SEE THAT SHIT!! AND IF YOU ARE OVER 18 YOU DONT NEED THE SUCKER JUST GO BUY THE REAL SHIT AND SMOKE YOUR BRAIN CELLS OUT!! WTF!!!
….Senator Stoner. Really?
is his name really Senator Stoner? hahaha
GROSS!
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.
*GASP* Some people think they actually have RIGHTS?! The blasphemy!
Yuck. It's got to taste disgusting!
thast funny the Senator is names Stoner!! Classic. Senator Doug Stoner- I bet he was made fun of when he took on this case.
is his name really Doug STONER????
Weed is fun and it smells great, but it tastes gross. Why would anyone want to eat candy flavored like weed?
Death threats? Hello?! Some people may think it's cute to have this candy out but they're right! This is targeted to children basically sending the message that it's ok to do drugs! It's the governments responsibility to protect the people, especially children when their dumbass parents think its ok for kids to eat pot flavored suckers!!
Its been a long time since I've smoked it but I don't recall that it tasted good enough to make candy tasting like it. ……Do you have to hold your breath between licks?????
Come to BC! you know that's where they started.. it's just funny that the government is going to BAN them.. and those ones don't even get you high…. ALL I CAN SAY.. you can find them up here!!
I've seen these in the stores before
Re: fseoiru – how bout u shove it up your tight fucking cunny hole u stupid cunt
now we're banning flavors? cool, cool. i think i'll be heading north now, guys…
Where can I get some and does it come in purple haze?
How about banning the candy completely??? wtf kind of message are they sending….you can have drug flavored candy but hey…you can't have the real thing people…that would be bad! WHATEVER….drugs are for losers…if you want the candy on top of the addiction…go for it losers!
i totally dont get it? why would you want a lollipop that tastes like this??….
and i live in georgia and i have no heard of this yet
I am glad that someone found Senator Stoner's efforts ironic
While I personally like my "herbal" refreshments, I'm 27, I do think it's the right thing to do. Then again all kids have to do is get ahold of some worm-wood and well….
Re: lisa – u c u dumb fucking cunt weed is illegal and the sale and consuption of alcohol is not, so y the fuck would they ban alcohol rtasting candy? for the kids, kids love the taste of pina colada u stupid fucking piece of cartlidge from a pigds sloppy ass hole canal

Pot is for smoking not licking…hahaha if you lick pot make sure it has a chocolate taste with it.

BFD. They're not made of pot, so who cares? Aren't there bigger fish to fry?

Just when you hear another one of many stories about how backward the South is… Along comes this story that makes you say…
.
FINALLY A LITTLE COMMON SENSE!!
.
I love pot I really do I smoke several times a week and it really has no effect on me. I think it should be legalized already its ridiculous. You hardly get as messed up from pot as you do from Alcohol…. I think if alcohol is legal so should pot…its not even a drug OH PLEASE
I wasn't aware that people smoked pot for the flavor.
Great! Does anyone know where I can order some of these
Senator Doug Stoner! STONER.

Then they should makethe Govenor change his last name from Stoner. That promotes drug use.
it must taste grosS FIRST!!
how funny is it that the senator's last name is "Stoner" ??????
Re: fuckface –
You're so mature with that language. Bet your momma's proud of you!
some ppl (right here) love the taste and smell of pot..
HA…Doug "Stoner"…
wow that is going waaaaaaaaay too far. first MJ is illegal which it shouldnt be, now things that sound like its promoting drug use and hardly…no…remotely..no…DO NOT taste like bud? come on. there is nothing that can mimic that wonderful taste
Re: lisa – I loved those. Do you remember the tequila pops they made with a worm in it? They weren't pandering them to kids however.
how cool
Somebody should make pot taste like sugary fruit instead.
AHAHAHAH
STONER
that is so stupid like they have nothing better to do then to stop people from buying this…i mean come on there are so many more problems in the world then this..people need to get over it..
did anyone catch the irony of the senator's last name being stoner? classic.
This is ridiculous. It's candy and I highly doubt it has any illegal substance in it. If your child's going to find out about marijuana its not going to be from the name/taste of this candy, it's going to be from their friends. This is just another step the government is taking against one of the least harmful drugs. Maybe they should start spending their time on eliminating something more harmful to society, like crime or hard drugs. It's the responsibility of the parent to educate their child if they wish to know why this candy is called "pot candy".
Hahahaha Bob-> #84
they should come to cali and get a prescription and get some REAL pot lolli's!!!
doug stoner LOL
Is that senator's last name really Stoner?!?! LMAO
