[CA] Parents Urged to Check For Pot-Laced Halloween Candy

More political scare tactics ...

Parents Urged to Check For Pot-Laced Halloween Candy
October 28, 2010 - ktla.com

MONTEREY PARK, Calif. -- L.A. County officials are warning parents to be on the look-out for Halloween treats laced with marijuana.

Officials say pot treats, such as candy bars and lollipops are sold in marijuana dispensaries and could be circulating around.

"These lollipops, candy bars, they look pretty legitimate. The problem is if it gets in the wrong hands and a kid licks a lollipop, they get ill or intoxicated," said Cpt. Ralph Ornelas of the L.A. County Sheriff's Department.

Some treats look like regular cookies or candy, but they don't smell normal.

Another clue, many of the products are not clearly labeled.

Officers said parents can call the police if they see any suspicious treats.

The department says it has never received a report of candy or snacks containing pot being distributed to Halloween trick-or-treaters.

Of course people are not going to give out medical marijuana edibles in place of Halloween candy.
This is Sheriff Baca taking his one last shot at spreading lies and fear before the election.

This is why our dispensary, and most others in San Jose, only sell edibles that are in opaque, mylar packaging with an explicit warning to keep away from children.

And at 4-10 bucks a pop, who's handing this stuff out?

I wouldn't put it past the conservative anti-Prop. 19 bunch to give out cannabis candy to kids to try and discredit the pro-legalization movement.

LA’s Sheriff Baca Stirs Fear Against Marijuana Days Before The Election
October 31, 2010 - AlterNet

All through the George W. Bush administration, Americans were fed a steady diet of fear, strategically orchestrated by Bush and Cheney to promote their political agenda. Americans were scared into supporting war. They were frightened into buying masking tape. They were jolted by elevated color codes. They were unnerved about flying on planes. And much much more…

For eight long years Bush and Cheney were masters of mania, preying on a nervous nation through well-timed machinations. What coincidence that terrorist threats would arise before elections and critical legislation. Even Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al Zawahiri would broadcast messages that helped push G.W.’s platform.

Using unjustified fear is an abuse of governance. Sadly for Los Angeles, Lee Baca, its Sheriff of twelve years who is running unopposed in this election, is employing the abusive fear tactic. Mere days before California’s November 2nd election, whose ballot includes Proposition 19, which if passed, would regulate, control and tax marijuana, Sheriff Baca is using free broadcast media to strike fear in voters against the Proposition he vehemently opposes.

As Baca’s luck would have it, Halloween arrives just two days before the November 2nd election. To frighten voters against Prop 19, Baca ordered his sheriffs to confiscate marijuana edibles from legal dispensaries and remove them from circulation so they’re not distributed to trick-or-treaters on Halloween. Baca then used the confiscated edibles as part of his free anti-Prop 19 broadcast media blitz.

Are Baca’s actions ethical – or even legal? Is it legal and ethical to confiscate vendor’s merchandise and then use it as a vehicle for free media air time to push a political agenda – an obvious political agenda the Sheriff refuses to admit to?

Here’s one of the videos showing the confiscated edibles and fear tactics Baca is using:


Ten days ago there was an incident of three boys in Huntington Beach, California, who were admitted to the hospital after ingesting marijuana cookies. The ingestion was accidental after a parent failed to put the cookies away. Of course that was a serious oversight, and thankfully the boys are okay.

But let’s get real here. Every home has dangers. Homes can contain medications, alcoholic beverages, toxic cleaning agents, sharp cutlery, swimming pools, balconies, staircases, bunk beds, bathtubs, hot stoves, storage bins, razors, sharp tools, lethal weapons like rifles and handguns and, tragically, abusive adults. Left unattended and unmonitored, myriad calamities can happen. Edible pot may come in attractive packages, but as long as it’s properly stored, there’s no more danger than that which exists already in most homes. And truthfully, there is still not a single reported case of anyone dying from pot.

California is broke. It needs revenue. And it needs to move into the 21st century with legitimate legislation. If Sheriff Lee Baca and Dianne Feinstein and the others who oppose Prop 19 want to keep California from moving forward, they do significantly more harm to the state than legalizing marijuana. America is sliding backward in every area. We’re a laughing stock to the world for sacrificing progression for regression. Not legalizing marijuana is as absurd as not using every available resource to push forward a clean, green economy.

If Baca doesn’t want to smoke pot, he doesn’t have to. If Baca doesn’t want to eat edibles, he doesn’t have to. But that’s no reason to use underhanded tactics to prevent wise legislation from passing – legislation that will generate income California desperately needs.

Baca, himself, with an annual salary of $284,183, doesn’t suffer from lack of income. He suffers from lack of wisdom.

EXACTLY what I was thinking. That piece of shit sheriff is trying to fill people with fear a few days before the election.

Fuck the police, and fuck the children. But if you care about children for real vote yes on 19.

I had spent a while on one of the Prop 19 discussion sites arguing with an old man that insisted marijuana would somehow be easier to obtain after Prop 19 passes, and that it would also open his grandchildren up to harder drugs. :facepalm:  Some people just don't listen to logic no matter what.

I don't really understand how he was able to confiscate the candy. I thought the edibles were legally dispensed at the dispensaries.

So essentially these stores got held up and robbed?
It'd be awesome if one of the places actually filed a police report for getting robbed.

Yes, essentially, more or less this is what happened...




...And it's fucked because sheriffs should be upholding state law, not federal.






This Baca piece of shit really grinds my gears eh', I'm gonna go smoke now
