No toke! Pot-flavored candy for sale

[Earth_First]

City politicians are smoking mad over a line of pot-flavored candies for local customers with the munchies.

Chronic Candy - hemp-based novelty lollipops and gumdrops that claim "every lick is like taking a hit" - is sparking controversy among critics who feel the sweets promote drug use among kids.

"How could we go into market and create a product for children that encourages them to taste the taste of marijuana?" outraged Councilwoman Margarita Lopez (D-Manhattan) said on WPIX-Channel 11, "What is the message? 'Use drugs, that is okay?'"

Yet children are bombarded with advertisements for alcohol and cigarettes by the bushel...

3. is Lopez a DINO?

We really need to start getting rid of people like her who have time for issues like this but never have the time to get around to election fraud or wars based on lies.
