Massachusetts mayor wants 'Lazy Cakes' brownies banned

MA mayor wants relaxation brownie off shelves
May 13, 2011 - whdh.com



BOSTON -- It looks like a simple snack cake, but the brownie inside the wrapper is causing quite the battle.

The product's name is Lazy Cakes and the makers sell it as a relaxation brownie. But a Massachusetts mayor wants the sweet off store shelves.

"This is candy with a drug in it," said Dr. Caroline Apovian, Boston Medical Center.

They’re called Lazy Cakes - brownies designed to help adults chill out.

Mixed in with the chocolate is the sleep aid melatonin - that's the hormone your body makes to help you sleep.

But the amount of melatonin that helps adults relax can be potentially dangerous for kids.

"An adult dosage of melatonin could be extremely detrimental in a child and cause drowsiness and fatigue. It’s as if you're giving your child a Valium," said Apovian.

So you'd think these sweet snacks would be kept out of reach for kids - right?

But in store after store in Boston and around the state, 7NEWS found Lazy Cakes right out where children could grab them.

Next to candy bars in one shop, and right near the cookies in another store.

The mayor of Fall River wants to ban the sale of Lazy Cakes in his city.

He says the relaxation brownie is marketed toward young people.

"Even though the products says it’s not intended for children's use, its psychedelic packaging and its cartoon character known as “lazy Larry” indicate otherwise," said Mayor William Flanagan, Fall River.

The company that makes Lazy Cakes told 7NEWS their brownies "include items that anyone can purchase at any health food or vitamin store."

And the company does "recommend that lazy cakes be enjoyed by adults only."

You can see pretty clearly on the brownies the label reads "for adults only: not suitable for children."

And if a kid drinks too much caffeine his heart will explode, better than falling asleep.

I take melatonin as a sleep aid, Ive quadrupled the dosage and all it does it make me more sleepier, this is a bunch of bullshit.

yeah... because everyone knows that the point of taking melatonin isn't to become drowsy or fatigued... :rolleyes:
They must be really desperate if they're going after melatonin, but they forgot to mention how chemically similar it is to DMT!

Why is this important enough for the mayor to get his panties in a bunch? I think anything cartoonish that could imply pot is associated with it mayors have problems with.

C'mon Melatonin = Valium? :rolleyes:

Sure buddy, yeah.

My local CBS station is really playing these up. They've been advertising their story for the past three days or so. They have a really evil-sounding guy doing the whole voiceover bit. If I was ascared wittle granny who didn't know any better, I'd totally believe that these were evil, disgusting things sold to prey on our children.

I'd probably rather give my kid some melatonin then say.... Tylenol PM, Nyquil, ambien, or any such drug. The beauty of melatonin is it is an herbal drug free alternative to other sleep aids that is produced naturally in your brain to begin with.

Mayors in two New England towns try to put a stop to the new craze sweeping the land, the scourge of melatonin brownies. Melatonin is a hormone, produced by the human body. It is also called the sleep hormone, as it is secreted by the brain and makes individuals feel drowsy. The concern is over kids being taken in by the marketing of melatonin laced goods, which may contain doses too high for kids to deal with. Here is the proof: New England towns looking to ban melatonin brownies.
