HARTFORD – Lawmakers are considering a proposal to ban the sale of
lollipops that tastes like marijuana.
Though the candy doesn’t contain the illegal drug, it claims to have the
same flavor.
Many state legislators, at the nudging of Attorney General Richard
Blumenthal, say the candy encourages use of marijuana.
Others, such as Sen. David Cappiello, R–Danbury, argue the government
should stay out of regulating flavors so long as the candy does not
contain anything illegal.
The bill, which passed the legislature's General Law Committee last
week, says "No person shall sell or offer for sale any candy or other
food containing cannabis type substance ... or containing any flavor
intended to simulating the flavor of a cannabis type substance."
