Cannabis sweets on sale in UK "He said he had sold almost 500 of the sweets in the last week alone" "They contain a hemp extract and I am perfectly within my rights to sell them."
Minneapolis bakery relieved by looser hemp foods policy

"....a child might eat a lolly and think cannabis tastes like this and go on to bigger things".. Like hashbrownies? 'cause smoking it sure doesn't taste like lollies.

Presumably Coca-cola is a very guilty pleasure in this woman's house.

I hit my forehead in shame at the human race whenever I read stories like this. Who, exactly, are the pathetic vocal minority who are "shocked" and "angered" by these sorts of products? I mean, really, what's their address? Do they realize that hemp oil has been used in cooking since Adam was a boy?
Here in Australia, similar pathetic wowers have been "up in arms" about Australia's Favourite Biscuit now being available in flavours like Tia Maria. These snacks are 99.9% alcohol free. Rum and Raisin Pudding contains more alcohol. Hell, breath-freshner probably does. So what's the big bloody problem?

I can't imagine that extract of hemp actually tastes good.

I think they're the same that were offended by the exposed breast at the Super Bowl. I say that making noise about such nonsense only heightens the curiosity of those they are trying to "protect."

They're the same people who banned the "Hemp oil" skin products from the Body shop.

In the UK they're the ones who buy the Daily Mail - I don't know how you'd spot them in the US.

Back in 98, Hong Kong's Narcotics Bureau actually bothered to investigate the hemp-based products of Body Shop, to see if it broke their drug laws, while France and Sweden straight out banned the sale of the stuff.
