Pennsylvania state Rep. Thomas C. Corrigan is backing a bill which would outlaw marijuana flavored candy.   Pot flavored candy is apparently available via county fairs, convenience and candy stores, as well as numerous websites.   Corrigan says he is frightened of the prospect of children developing a taste for marijuana from eating candy.

Corrigan and Pennsylvania are hardly the first places to contemplate and even enact such laws.   Chicago and Suffolk County, NY already have laws, and Michigan, New Jersey and New York also have bills pending to ban such candies.

I admit to finding the occasional whiff of burning weed to be somewhat pleasant - preferable to incense.   However, I sincerely doubt the taste is something which will catch on with kids.   It just isn't a pleasant flavor.   Imagine tobacco or vodka flavored hard candy!

After we pass laws banning pot flavored candy, perhaps we should consider making root beer and butter scotch available only to those over the age of 21!
