DEA busts purveyors of marijuana-laced snacks

Earlier this week the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency served 11 warrants in the Los Angeles seizing what it called "large quantities of marijuana-laced edibles." Among the items seized were chocolate bars made with cannabutter and Grape Ape Soda whose labels bears a marijuana leaf and the warning "For Medicinal Use Only." Back in the day sugary snacks were for eating after one had smoked the evil weed. This begs the question: Does eating marijuana-laced snacks give you the munchies?

This isn't the first time that the DEA has busted makers of marijuana-laced candy or snacks. Take a look at this photo from last year's arrest of a San Francisco fellow who's now serving 70 months. Along with KeefKat and Buddhafinger (center row), there's Double Puff Oeo (lower left corner) obviously a takeoff on many a stoner's favorite snack, Oreos. Wonder if they're good with hemp milk?
