Eh, doesn’t seem like an actual issue. If they’re only sold on some certain websites, you’re very unlikely to unknowingly buy them. Plus I can’t imagine that they would be priced as cheaply as the products they’re based off of.
The only issue I see is some manner of copywrite infringement, which is small potatoes.
Personally I don’t partake in such products, but I don’t hold anything against those that do.

I’m fine with people smoking pot, having edibles and it being legal. But I am not oaky with this at all. Zero resone this needs to be advertised like that. I think it should be against the law for making them look like every day snacks that small children love.
What’s your particular concern about them looking like regular snacks?
They’re not exactly being sold over at Safeway, you have to go on certain parts of the internet to get them.
Plus they’re going to be a fair bit more expensive than the things that they look like, so anyone with small kids who buys them would want to be extra certain that they don’t get mixed up with non-THC snacks.

Never mind the man behind the curtain taking your freedom away…Just wait for your check and buy some Fruity Pebbles and get high.

greg: It is a cultural thing and the citizens have gotten so used to the power grab culture by government they don’t even consider it unusual. I will provide an example trivial on purpose. I got a Costco hot dog, they did not offer me any ketchup and mustard packets, and while trying to rip open the bag top to use the dispenser (after pushing around the cart with the greasy handle I did not want to touch hot dog) it ended up on the floor. Fine. When I got home I looked it up to see what was going on, and as expected the government has guidelines where servers are not allowed to ask if you want packets, you have to ask. Well, first of all it tells you about the culture we have where I just automatically assumed the government was behind this. And second, if you think about it, where is it in the Constitution that government bureaucrats can tell food workers how they are allowed to talk. This is nuts. Somehow this creeping authoritarianism is now normal. You don’t have to find flashy examples of Newsom and leaf blowers to show the point, it is everywhere.

@greg – I’m sure you believe that, given the majority of your information comes from MSNBC, HuffPost and Democratic Underground.

Like three articles ago, this very site said that In-N-Out can’t do indoor dinning. They were entirely closed down earlier this week. The basis for it was their public refusal to be the government’s henchmen, checking people’s papers at the door.
The vaccine requirements are a basic social credit system. The argument that it’s about public safety is a bad joke.
Before that there was this whole nation wide shut down thing, and a bunch of other stuff that happened. If you don’t want to look up any news articles on that, just try talking to anyone who wasn’t under a rock for the last couple of years.

Corporations who own these brands should file cease and desist letters and then take them to court for damages.
It seems that damages would be hard to prove. If you’re buying these more expensive products, which have an additive that may well make you hungrier for more, then you may well end up eating even more of the “standard” product. If you just had some Doritos with THC, you probably want some regular Doritos after that, as opposed to Lays (or some other kind of chip).
Some sort of intellectual property infringement seems like a much easier case to make.

There you said it “the corporations”. As far as I am concerned I don’t know to trademark I don’t care. It’s the American way. Steel Rob pillage anyway you can.
Mmm. Wow whoever thought the government shutting down a restaurant for not following a health mandate. Bring on the rats and cockroaches man let’s end all government control. Sounds good to me. I wouldn’t mind some crunchy burgers and squishy fries.

California has strict laws about cannabis packaging, regulators would never approve anything that violates a trademark or that could easily entice and harm a child. These items are black market products that probably contain K2/spice rather than cannabis.

Let’s discuss your topics.
1. In N Out. The company themselves shut down the PH location and then magically the next day reopened without indoor dining. It’s almost as if they gave in to the mandate. and yes, indoor dining was shut down because they didn’t follow what they were asked to do. But we’ve yet to see an article on who turned in In N Out. I’ve eaten inside places in this County and SF County and none of them have asked for my card at any time while I was in the establishment. Others here have echoed similar sentiments. Your anger seems to be with the government and not the citizen who voiced the complaint. I am sure @greg and the other pro-vax people would agree that it would be great if cards were checked but “hey, I have my vaccine, so I’m feeling safe to get my food and go”
2. The nationwide shut down thing. That was about 2-4 weeks depending on your definition. In my eyes if I was allowed to go to stores, restaurants, etc with the only inconveniences being minor of needing a mask or waiting outside or limiting the goods I could buy (because other people are jerks), then things weren’t shutdown.
You and I will differ on that but since April of last year my daily routine of going to stores didn’t change. I just had to plan more.

Threaten the manufacture and the point of sale with the ’In and Out’ treatment. The so-called Health Department can confiscate all goodies and do some settled-science studies.
Bob kawasaki, the issue I see is them not put in a safe place and a small child finding them. Which has happened. Friends visiting with a child and that kind of stuff.
Ugh

Ummmm…Noone buys edibles in an attempt to give them out as treats! Of course being aware of what your child receives is great.
Yet noone is planning on giving a child a labeled pack of THC gummies this year or next!

Thanks for the ‘warning’. Please share the source that is disturbing these delicious.. er..dangerous treats so we can be sure to get..er..look out for them. Such valuable news. ECT and Claycord are mostly copy/paste articles these days……..
