NOW BEFORE YOU SAY HE DESERVES IT BECAUSE HE BROKE A U.S. LAW I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE IS PRETTY MUCH BROKE BECAUSE ANY PROFIT HE MADE OFF OF THE MEDICAL CANDIES HAVE ALREADY GONE TO LEGAL FEES FOR HIS CRIMINAL COURT HEARING. THIS IS A MAN WHO IS ALREADY GOING TO JAIL IN A FEDERAL PRISON FOR 5 YEARS FOR PROVIDING PATIENTS WITH MEDICAL MARIJUANA CANDY SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO SUBJECT THEIR LUNGS TO TAR AND CARCINOGENS. WRITE HERSHEYS TODAY AND/OR PLEASE JOIN US IN A BOYCOTT OF THE HERSHEYS Co FOR THIS INJUSTICE. This is what I wrote to the Hershey Chocolate Company at their website: https://www.hersheys.com/contactus/ Sirs & Madams, Our magazine is organizing a boycott of your extensive line of products because of a $100,000 lawsuit against KENNETH AFFOLTER by HERSHEY in regard to his medical marijuana chocolates. Since Mr. Affolter was unjustly sentenced to 5 years in jail for the cannabis chocolates that were going to patients in need, one might think that your corporate interests in the protection of your brand names, which Mr. Affolter used in mocking regard to his products, was upheld. However, you are persuing this man in what our magazine regards as cruel and unnecessary. Until Hershey Chocolate stops this lawsuit, our magazine is advocating on myspace, youtube, and in our magazine, Cannabis Culture, a boycott of Hershey products. I would be delighted to hear from you and any discussion which drops this lawsuit. I think it is safe to say that Hershey Chocolate is currently the choiuce of millions of potheads across North America. You enrage them with this lawsuit. They are consumers you should not consider lightly. Sincerely, Marc Emery Editor Cannabis Culture Magazine www.cannabisculture.com www.myspace.com/cannabisculturemagazine ------------------------------------------------------ MYSPACE STONERS: Please take note and avoid the following Hershey products in the marketplace.

Kinda creepy one company produces all that candy, no? Good alternatives = anything from M&M/Mars Candy Co., European (especially German or Swiss) chocolate companies and Nestle but you may want to boycott Nestle for other ethical reasons.
i dont eat Hershey's anyway. except their syrup. if you want me to NOT buy my chocolate syrup for my ice-cream sundaes you must be out of your freakin mind.
they have enough power and money to do whatever they want, your boycott will only bring more peoples attention to hershey's
Not really though because as of May 23, 2007 Hersheys has been willing to have discussions with Cannabis Culture magazine over this law suit. Its interesting but they are taking this seriously... they got a shit ton of letters and the message reached 60,000 people in less than 18 hours without media coverage. Continue the boycott... its really simple to silently not support a company and 40 oz.- THERE ARE SO MANY COMPANIES THAT MAKE CHOCOLATE SYRUP, support Kenneth and buy a different type of chocolate syrup.
idk about the recees and whoppers. but ill try those two are like trying to quit ciggaretes. but fuck hershey theyr park sucks anyway. we should try to get people to boycott hershey park, hershey hotel, if anything says hershey anywwhere then leave it. if theres a hershey commercial change the channel
Right on! And you being from Pennsylvania where Hersheys laid off a rediculous amount of workers (yet was still able to reep record profits) you should urge as many of your friends to participate as well!
Hershey is just disgusting anyway. Someone mentioned the chocolate syrup- that shit is nasty- read the damn ingredients. Gah...i dunno how you people eat these things
I WILL JOIN THIS BOYCOTT. Even though that means never eating my Reese's for a long time. I love them so much. But I hate this more.
im eating peanut butter kisses... they are delish.. but i did not know about this lawsuit.. so yea.. i already bought them.. so i'm gonna finish them
umm for the record, I am with you on the boycott but off of it, fuck that, hershey are always on sale at work, 3 for a $1
You guys are seriously more concerned with your munchies than the way that this company is treating this situation?
