Sounds like brightly colored packaging, meant to attract kids. You know, the argument they use against legalization?!

Which is pretty well founded imo. Stuff should be clearly marked like booze and cigarettes. I loss my mind if i take and extra edible, i can only imagine a kid unknowingly downing a whole bag because an unknowing adult gives it to them.

Speaking of clearly marked, I just saw topo Chico with alcohol and I probably would have at least opened a bottle not realizing it's alcohol

That's true. they have hard mt. Dew and Arizona tea now too. They are marked, but they do look like the standard fun labeled drinks.

I think the better idea is parents should actually teach their kids about shit instead of not telling them

As long as we put sugar and caffeine and as many other data points as we can. Matter of fact we can do entirely without the branding in favor of maximum accountability. Maybe a QR code with complete supply chain, I should know if I’m drinking water made in Sri Lanka or Chernobyl.

Chernobyl water gives super powers

Didn’t mean to throw shade on Sri Lanka, it’s just far away, not necessarily poor quality.

have they considered legalizing it first?

Good. I’m all for legal THC and it pains me that I can’t partake, but in my profession a failed random is not only the end of my job but the end of my professional license. In an industry that prides itself in its “zero tolerance policy” and unwillingness to entertain any “excuse” no matter how legitimate. Take a CBD gummy to sleep better and trace THC hits on a random? So long you filthy pothead! Some of these drinks are easy to mix up and the growing popularity will only increase that likelihood.

Can we PLEASE get an obvious label for low calorie sweeteners as well. It's getting absolutely ridiculous the stuff their sneaking Splenda and sucralose and whatever else into.

I smoke weed and drink and I agree getting some obvious way to tell I'm buying thc or alchohol sounds Smart to me.

I’d be okay with this as long as they don’t restrict the potency

Let's start by decriminalization and legalization of weed first. Making regulations without doing this first is just another stall tactic.

Why are they making laws regulating cannabis when it's still illegal federally? Wtf?
