Sour Patch or Stoney Patch? Parents warned about edible pot packaging – CT Insider
The Connecticut Attorney General’s office has issued a warning to consumers about cannabis products packaged to look like snacks and candy, although a spokesperson said they haven’t received any complaints about these products.

Tong asserted that the billboards — which apparently have been posted for several years in one form or another — now violate Connecticut’s new cannabis law, which prohibits cannabis advertising unless “the advertiser has reliable evidence that at least ninety percent of the audience for the advertisement is reasonably expected to be twenty-one years of age or older.” The new law went into effect in July. According to media reports, Attorney General Tong has contacted the billboard…
