The Pleasure Police

They’re on the march. In Georgia, there’s a bid to ban the sale of anything that even tastes like marijuana. I’m not talking about candy that actually gets you high. I’m talking about candy that has no THC but merely tastes like pot:

"This dope candy, I believe, is a gateway product to other drugs," said Fort, who has spearheaded the effort to have it outlawed in Georgia. If Fort’s bill were to become law, selling the marijuana-flavored candy would be a misdemeanor on the first offense. A second offense would be a felony punishable by up to five years in prison – which is comparable to the punishment for selling real marijuana.

These puritans are out of their tiny minds. But you knew that already, didn’t you?
