Truth to Power

Marijuana morons “save” the children once again

Lawmakers target marijuana-flavored candy

A bill that would ban the sale of marijuana-flavored candy to children in Georgia won approval from a legislative committee this morning, advancing the proposal toward a vote in the House of Representatives.

House Bill 280 calls for a $1,000 fine for those caught selling the sweets, also called “chronic candy” or “pot suckers.” The candy comes in the form of lollipops, gumdrops and other sweets.

Proponents of the legislation say the candy serves as a gateway to illegal drug use.</em>

Proponents of the legislation are inbred morons fighting to keep the money flowing and to keep getting re-elected. Of course, Georgia is the same state that thinks its citizens need to be kept from buying alcohol in a grocery store on Sunday because some mythological man in a white robe might get offended. Meanwhile, we languish near the bottom of every ranking on education, gang violence, violent crime and unwed teens.

And this is how our elected morons choose to combat these very real problems. By actually discussing banning a legal candy that happens to taste like a weed. This is beyond stupid, beyond useless, and should result in the immediate impeachment of any asshat back-slapping do-nothing that dares link their names and careers to the measure.
