THC can be found in many forms — gummies, candies, chocolates, capsules, teas, oils and more. that are being marketed to children. So it turns that, when it comes to marketing its products to children, the cannabis industry is every bit as irresponsible as the lowlifes who try to hook kids on tobacco products at an early age.
It’s the same sort of prohibition that voters, with passage last year of Proposition 31, applied to tobacco products. If Californians don’t want their children lured by flavored inhaled tobacco, they certainly don’t want them lured by flavored pot. Sadly, the cannabis industry is just as happy to target children as Big Tobacco. It took years before California lawmakers beat back the tobacco industry’s lobbying efforts and in 2020 approved state Sen. Jerry Hill’s SB 793, banning flavored inhaled products. Even that didn’t end the fight, because the tobacco industry forced the issue to last year’s ballot.
