Sorry kiddies, no more Kronic Kandy for you

I just heard on WABE this morning that good old Sonny signed a bill into law that makes it illegal for Atlanta retailers to sell marijuana flavored candies to minors, since lawmakers are sure it will convince little kids to want to use the real thing. Here’s a little blog from the AJC, and it’s dated February 2007. How have I missed this for so long??? It’s hilarious! The candy is called “Chronic Candy” or “Pot Suckers” and comes in several delightful options, like lollipops and gum drops. Going down on my Google search results, (lets hope the clear private data function is really effective on my work PC) there is an MSN article from 2005 is all about the same topic. That article is much better. It explains that the candy gets its flavor from hemp oil, like what they use in those lame expensive beauty treatments for fake hippies. It also looks like there is more than one company making these things. Points to California company Chronic Candy for their slogan: “Every lick is like taking a hit.”

Unfortunately, the Atlanta-based company Hydro Blunts doesn’t have a slogan listed. But they market their lollipops as Kronic Kandy. Kudos for the klever use of the “k.”

So if you are a minor and crazy about your Pot Suckers, you should go buy them before July 1. After that, it will be illegal.

P.S. It looks like Junkman’s Daughter is a safe bet if you are looking for where to pick some of these up.

P.P.S. Sorry Christa, I hotlinked again. But I refuse to download the photo of the pot lollipop onto my computer at work just for Pecannelog. Especially when I know you’ll come behind me and fix it.
