I didn't even know that marijuana candy even existed in the first place, but apparently it does. Last week, supervisors of Alameda County in northern California banned the sale of it.
Parents in Castro Valley complained about the candy when they realized that it had become popular with high school students, especially when celebrities like Paris Hilton and rapper Snoop Dogg endorse the candy. Parents were concerned that the marijuana flavored candy will serve as a "gateway" to illegal drug usage later. The candy manufacturers say that there is no THC present in the candy, the active substance in marijuana.
The ordinance to ban passed 4-0.
