News - Marijuana that resembles candy

Found this on torrentspy.

Creative marketing created some big trouble for twelve people accused of manufacturing marijuana-laced candy and sodas in the East bay area of San Francisco Friday.

The group -- made up of both men and women -- faced charges of cultivation of marijuana and aiding and abetting after federal agents raided 5 warehouses in Oakland and Emeryville Thursday morning.

"At four locations, we got indoor marijuana growth, and most importantly we found this marijuana candy factory," said Drug Enforcement agent Javier Pena. "We reported 25,000 plants. It's a big operation."

Officials say the locations are part of Beyond Bomb, a marijuana candy manufacturer with products "that mimic the name and appearance of well known, name-brand candies and products."

Products confiscated included Pot Tarts (a play on the name "Pop Tarts"), Stoney Rancher Lollipops (Jolly Rancher), Trippy Peanut Butter (Skippy Peanut Butter), Munchy Way (Milky Way), Budtella (Nutella) and Rasta Reese's (Reese's Peanut Butter Cups).

ya, i heard that they put hash oil in cola of fome sort and called it toke-a-cola

 

tasty...

 

were they making if for medical mj patients?

 

"[These] marijuana-laced candy bars and sodas look very much like the store-bought candy that we see on our shelves," said Pena. "If someone was to take this unknowingly, it would be potentially dangerous to that person."

But some Californians argue that marijuana-laced foods are necessary for medicinal purposes. "



i would hug whoever gave me food with weed in it...lucky bastards

 

Yeah the feds found boxes and boxes of candy boxed up ready to go out wholesale to dispensaries in CA. I read somewhere that the candy even had nutritional and dosage information on the wrapper, and the cops found uniforms and timeclocks. It was pretty big.

 

aw man... all of it went to waste and now those people are gonna be locked up for a long ass time. for making candy that made people happy. if it's not smoked, how are they saying it's potentially dangerous, exactly?

fucked up world.

i bet there was a huge crowd digging through the garbage wherever they dumped it. what do they do with the confiscated candy anyway? eat it all themselves?

 

I wonder if they saw any oompa-loompas?
