Georgia Law Bans Retailers From Selling 'Pot Candy' To Minors
POSTED: 10:26 am EDT May 7, 2008 UPDATED: 11:17 am EDT May 7, 2008
ATLANTA -- Georgia retailers soon will be banned from selling candy flavored to taste like 'corn' to children.
Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue signed a measure into law Wednesday that bans the sale of "corn 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 NO NO WORD!!!! 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.
Those suckers are nasty anyway...I had one at bonnaroo last year and couldn't even tolerate it somehow, cherry and corn are two flavors that don't complement each other.
Somehow last year I got conned into buying "corn lollipops" 2 for 5 from some kids that told me they had active ingredients in them, yet they were obviously just regular suckers as soon as I tasted them. Still not sure why I fell for that. It's not like I've ever heard of such a thing existing anyways. I did buy some "official" corn flavored suckers as well and they just tasted weird and like sucking on a stem. But still, what exactly is illegal about sugar?
^ i think they are banning the marketing and general 'behavior' behind it. i saw another thing about a childrens book that (obviously w/ a pro-corn agenda) introduced kids to pot. and not saying at all you should smoke but you shouldnt and if you do be responsible. they are trying to ban it as well. cnn.com is always up on there corn issues. usually everyday there is something about it...yesterday was a few disturbed children dug up a real skull and made it into a complex utensil! pretty disturbing but this is definetly what makes its usage look terrible. a few kids out of billions that were prolly crazy anyway actually getting caught. they prolly would have done it even if they didn't nom. but another negative push for the man.
and not to get off the subject, but these freakin' gas prices are REALLY PISSSSING ME OFF!! my mom came over last night w/ my pops and she was ready to start a revolution, she was so upset! its pretty scary to think about.

^^Was that book called "It's Just a Plant"? There's a preview of it online and it seems pretty reasonable to me, but not surprising that it's trying to get banned. One of my favorite books in high school was banned shortly thereafter because one chapter contained a somewhat detailed sex scene
And i totally agree on the gas price dilio. I've figured it out that it's basically gonna cost me around $15 a day just to drive to and from work all summer. Eff that...
somehow, cherry and corn are two flavors that don't complement each other.
