The Bay Area puts its stamp on everything it touches. For example, snacks from Oakland-based Tainted Inc. come laced with marijuana.
Drugged foods include chocolate-covered pretzels, candy bars, cookies, marshmallow pies, ice cream, peanut butter, jelly, and even barbecue sauce. Laced snacks are reportedly more potent than smoked marijuana.
Tainted Inc. has used medical marijuana laws to justify its product line. However, DEA authorities aren't buying it. Four Bay Area houses have been raided in addition to the factory, and several arrests made.
On a tip from Nanc.

Hey, Dude! Great roasted almonds, man! Cool! Uh, where did I leave my car keys? Wow, it's almost like I'm stoned, and I didn't even smoke anything -- think I'll just take a little nap over here on your couch, Dude . . .

"Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms should be a convenience store, not a government agency." I agree. Why, then does it make sense to prohibit dope?
Drug prohibition was one of the earliest successes for moonbats, a major step forwards towards their transnational fascist intentions. They prohibited alcohol too, but miraculously that bit of westernised-sharia was abolished, though here in the UK it looks like it's making a comeback, with government announcing a campaign against people drinking wine at home "for their own good", etc.
Get the Big Government out of peoples' bodies. It has no business being in there.

This is one of those times where I think the Federal Government should be reminded, rather forcefully, that there is a concept called the 10th Amendment to the Constitution. I personally cannot stand marijuana (I think it smells like someone set a dog turd on fire when its smoked), but the government has no business telling people what they can and cannot reasonably smoke, eat or drink. You wanna eat pot, go ahead, its your brain you're flushing down the commode.
The thing that is galling is that the growing and distribution of marijuana is not actually illegal. Its perfectly legal. The government, in an effort to subvert the Constitution (in the same way the 2nd Amendment was subverted with the National Firearms Act of 1934) simply issues a stamp (a tax, in otherwords) to grow marijuana. The problem is that the government refuses to issue these stamps to all but a select group.
There is nothing in the Constitution that gives the Federal Government the power to do this except the nebulous 'for the common good' clause. This simply is another way for the Nanny State to ensure its dominance.
