(AP) - Some anti-drug advocates are a little out of joint - over pot-flavoured candy.

Lollipops with names like Purple Haze, Acapulco Gold and Rasta are showing up on the shelves of convenience stores and smoke shops accross the U.S.

The novelties are flavored with hemp oil from the marijuana plant.

But any trace of THC, the stuff that gives marijuana its high, has been removed.

Marketers say their candy is perfectly legal.

But government and law enforcement officials counter that the pot candy sends the wrong message to kids.

A New York City councilwoman plans hearings on the issue this summer.

And the council in an Atlanta suburb has passed a resolution condemning the pot candy.

Who comes up with stuff like this? and what's the point anyways with the THC out of it

Boring. Parents need to worry less about what is going on in the world and more about being good parents. That has seemed to escape a lot of people. Good parents seem to be the exception these days.

As for these candies being a bad idea in that they'll lead to possible future bad or illegal behavior is ludicrous.
