POT CANDY A STUPID IDEA

"Candy is dandy," Ogden Nash once wrote, "but liquor is quicker."

Several companies are taking that idea to another level, marketing
lollipops that taste like marijuana.

Chronic Candy from California sells hemp-flavored lollipops in $5
"nickel bags," drug slang for a $5 bag of marijuana. The firm's
advertising slogan is "Every lick is like taking a hit."

ICUP Inc. of New Jersey sells Pot Suckers, which it says "taste like
the real deal." Neither company's candy contains THC, the ingredient
in marijuana that produces a high.

Opponents say the lollipops encourage and train young people to use
marijuana. We agree. Thumbs down to this ridiculous concept.
