Makes a bit easier for parents to screen.
Thing is, with that slick packaging, are they setting themselves up for legal action by the manufacturers of the original product, or is this those same big companies dipping their toes in cannabis?
That said, it's hard to believe this will be a widespread problem.
A 14 ounce bag of Jolly Rancher gummies in $4.57 at Walmart.
Around here, THC gummies are $14 for 10 of them. Trying to pass these off to kids would be a serious monetary commitment that carries the risk of prison.
