    Pot-laced sweets end up sour for drug dealer

    Pot-laced sweets end up sour for drug dealer

    OAKLAND, United States (AFP) - A drug dealer caught manufacturing joke candy spiked with marijuana agreed to a lengthy jail term after pleading guilty, US justice officials in California said.

    Kenneth Affolter, 39, admitted managing marijuana crops with the intention of manufacturing and distributing a range of potent candy and soft-drinks that parodied well-known brands.

    US Federal Agents in March raided warehouses in Oakland and Emeryville registered to a company known as 'Beyond Bomb', and seized items with labels including 'Munchy Way', 'Pot Tarts', 'Puffsi' and 'Toka-Cola.'

    In a plea deal with prosecutors subject to court approval, Affolter agreed to a 70-month jail term for his leading role in the plot.

    Affolter admitted 11 other co-defendants in the case were employees he had hired to work at his facilities, and that he had been responsible for the production and distribution of more than 1,000 marijuana plants.

    "While real candy may give you cavities, these individuals know that marijuana candy can get you jail time," stated Drug Enforcement Agency Special Agent in Charge Javier Pena.

    Four of Affolter's former employees and co-defendants have also entered guilty pleas.

    another prime example of why marijuana is illegal in the US. not because its harmful... but because the vast majority of those that want it legalized most, are just too mind numbingly dumb to make it happen.

        hmm thats a fucked up story..

        first off the idea wouldnt work.. it takes alot of weed to get you high when you eat it.. and it takes a long time to kick in and lasts longer. in order to make money you would have to sell the candy or soft drinks for like $30 a piece .. or they were just putting a tiny bit in each one and thought they would get away with it because it wouldnt get you high

            Not really. If you prepare it right you need very little to get completely fucked up. You don't even need the actual weed. Just plant leftovers can do the trick.

                Not if you prepare it right and extract the active material from the plant into butter for example.

                              distribution of a thousand plants and he got less than 6 years? sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

                                      well true but its still going to take at least $15 worth of pot to get you off eating it..

                                              Why would you spend 15 bucks on pot if you can eat what comes off the plant leftovers?

                                                i knew people who worked for this guy's operation. he kept records because he sold his edibles to the local cannibas co-operatives and had actual inventory to maintain where California residents with a medical marijuana card could go to obtain marijuana for medical needs a variety of forms, including food & drink. some patients cannot smoke due to their given medical condition. CA law says he has to maintain business records, but federal law can bust him with them. it's sort of like "dont ask, don't tell" in CA right now re: marijuana.

                                                edibles have a different "high" than smoking thc as well. someone mentioned above that they can make you a cookie that will fuck you up for 6 hours, and i have no doubt. edibles take longer to enter the bloodstream but once they do they stay, resulting in a longer "high" than smoking a bowl. 6 hours of pain relief from one cookie might be better for a patient than 6 hours of smoke inhalation. smoking = immediate effect, shorter lasting. and you can't get high from eating the plant remains straight, they need to be boiled into butter or in some other way *heated* for the thc to be released, giving off the high users are looking for.

                                                        You are on the right track.

                                                        California did reinstate the state issued medical marijuana card, along with web authorization and a 24 hour toll free line to insure the card in question is a valid card. The state now issues and manages these cards as required by the law that went into effect, and to ignore it they would be breaking the constitution of the state of California. All state police now recognize and abide by the rules if the person in question has a state issued card. No more confiscation or other issues. Even the highway patrol has went along with it.

                                                        Problem arises with the fact that there are now less than 5400 legal patients in California. I personally know this because I and my fiance have card numbers 53xx and 53xx, that were issued this month. With out such card you are still in violation of California law.

                                                        There is no legal limit to the number of plants one person may possess. However you are limited to eight ounces of dried bud per person.

                                                        A patient is permitted to have a care giver and may assign that to certain people that meet set qualifications. One person may be a care giver for more than one patient. There is no limit to the number of patients a care giver may have. This is where clubs and co-ops get fuzzy. The laws are not truly in place to keep them open unless they fall under a properly ran co-op. Thus the workers as well as the owner must either be patients and or authorized care givers. Naturally the amount of dried bud can not exceed the amount needed for the number of patients the club has. You would need two patients per pound of dried buds maximum that the co-op possessed to remain legal. The co-op would not be permitted to "sell" the material to the patients so to speak. Some compensation for growing, maintaining and the like may be permissible though.

                                                        As for ingesting over smoking, highs aside. For some patients they can not smoke the plant and must eat it. This is done through food stuffs, alcohol based tinctures, capsules and a few other methods. Not to mention some are concerned with inhaling smoke and potential lung damage. I know one person for instance that is on oxygen 24/7, so smoking is out of the question for that person regardless.
