So, Chicago has banned pot-flavored candy!

What do we think??


I think that the guy trying to claim he isn't targetting children is an idiot. It is candy obviously targetted at rebellious types!

I also think the guy claiming that sucking on a pot-flavored candy is going to make kids run out and buy pot is full of it too.

There's no THC in it! How can you ban ordinary candy that happens to taste like an illegal substance? That's just stupid.

And the tobacco, christian, and "omg save teh world for our children" lobbyists win!

IMHO, any candy that was flavored like marijuana would be disgusting.

I mean, of course they won't run out and buy pot after they had pot flavored candy. :rolleyes:

And an illegal substance that tastes like shit. I mean, people don't really smoke pot for the flavor.

If anything the candy should put kids off pot.

Land of the Free my a$$

Get a prescription for....

SATIVEX

yeah. that's wack. you can't ban something that's made with completely legal things in it just because it tastes like something else.
like i said, that's wack

What a strange thing to ban.

Anyway, if your pot tastes like shit, you're smoking the wrong pot. Indicas taste like shit. Try a nice Afghani Sativa.

Another collateral in this decades old "War On Drugs".
Delation, repression, extreme criminalization, pretext for foreign interference, pretext for crowd control, costly political toy........
And oh, Mexico and Canada are dangeeeeerous countries!!!
All your neighbors want you to get high against your will.
Go Puritans!!!!!!

Careful! Mass conspiracy!

IF we get you high, you might start realising it's not cool to start all that war and shit, man! It'll make you think weird things like, maybe people don't want you policing the world. Dangerous stuff, man! :D

bettern not mention to them that they also sell hemp-based salad dressing, pancake mix, and lip balm. not to mention rope...

It's true! We have bought hemp lip balm in Boston. It has a very pleasant taste.

And in Montreal we have HEMP BEER.
Yayyyyyy!!!!!
It's perfectly legal and available in a lot of bars downtown.

LOL!

I really wouldn't have pegged you as a smoker. hehe

I dunno, man..

Different types of weed "may or may not" taste better, but overall, it really doesn't seem like any of it would taste good. At all.
I don't even really like the smell of the smoke itself.

I've had different types of marijuana flavored candy and they are actually very tastey :p so good and so true to the flavor that in fact I was sure that it was actually pot that flavored it. What I really want is a cologne that smells like fresh chronic buds.

LOL!

Smoker, cultivator, and general head. The things one learns from mother.

i first encountered the stuff when i went to visit my mom and she had some. i was surprised and impressed.

i wonder if the chi-town burbs will follow chicago on this? my mom the fake drug offender.

What a bunch of crap! Great marketing opportunity though - the free advertising from the controversy probably more than offsets the loss of the Chicago market.

Really, if it were to taste anything at all like what passes for pot in America, it would be disgusting.

But then again, market research studies have consistently demonstrated down through the years that if you add enough complex sugars to anything, children will happily eat it.

I once had too much garden-manure on my hands. I kept trying to find ways of getting rid of the excess. Somehow, all I could think about was adding fruit-flavoured taffy to it, and marketing it as 'organic taffy'. But common sense prevailed.

So I just started adding it to burgers instead.
