Dear friends,
We are repeatedly asked "Why doesn't someone do something about the cannabis candy that looks like real branded candy?"
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) recently reintroduced a bill (S.4628) which SAM helped to draft in 2017 that would create criminal penalties for the manufacture and sale of Schedule I drugs, including marijuana, in the form of candy and beverages. The bill has 25 cosponsors.
The introduction follows recent warning letters from the FDA on copycat pot products and letters to Congress from famous brands like Pepsi and 23 state Attorney Generals demanding that lawmakers take action on preventing the sale of kid-friendly products.
We know this matters to you and urge you to let your representatives know you want to ensure that these products don't make it to the shelves.
