The BBC reports that laboratories in England are testing marijuana-flavored lollypops for illicit chemicals. Authorities and parents are worried that the hemp lollypops encourge drug use. The suckers are labeled as containing hemp extract.
I mean, there's a big enough drug problem as it is. These lollies are selling for 30p when ordinary lollies are about 10p, the kids are going to think they're something special, stated Angela Nichol, of New Farnley, Leeds.
While authorities test the lollypops for any THC, shop owners say that they are completely within their rights to sell the suckers.
