Retailers subject to $500 fine for selling Pot Lickers and Kronic Kandy to anyone under 18.
WSBTV reports
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."

Wait, wait- his name's Stoner? Seriously, Stoner?! Maybe Mr. Doug Stoner should get a name change before going after people selling what must be the second most god awful flavor of candy imaginable. Plus, I think pot flavored candy may actually deter would be smokers. I can testify that one of the biggest reasons for my having always avoided pot was simply the smell (of both the drug, and the user).
