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.

      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.

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!!!

      47

      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!!

    48. believer says – reply to this

    96. Amanda says – reply to this


      96

      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".
