gross candy<\/a>\u00a0(gummy bugs & boogers) distributed at Halloween, police in Colorado have issued an alert especially important for\u00a0Californians visiting their relatives who left our state and moved there. Colorado police departments are concerned that trick or treaters will accidentally mistake pot-laced candies for the real ones. A niche food industry thrives in\u00a0Colorado where it is legal for citizens 21+ to own one oz. of recreational pot. \u00a0Tourists are allowed to buy and own a quarter ounce, but\u00a0are not allowed to leave the state with their purchases. \u00a0Never is an adult permitted to give marijuana-laced brownies, cookies, pot tarts and gummy bears to children. A new law was created requiring packaging\u00a0to clearly state that\u00a0the food contains marijuana, but that law is not expected to be in place before 2016. \u00a0 One enterprising company sells a pot test kit that lets you test candy for the presence of\u00a0marijuana. It costs approx. $15. Marijuana is now legal in the states of Colorado and Washington, and in November residents\u00a0in Oregon and Alaska will vote on whether to also legalize recreational marijuana use in their states. Pot tourism\u00a0has been strongest in Colorado where prices have dropped and the State government is debating what to do with a $30 million surplus from pot taxes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In addition to parents having to double-check the\u00a0gross candy\u00a0(gummy bugs & boogers) distributed at Halloween, police in Colorado have issued an alert especially important for\u00a0Californians visiting their relatives who left our state and moved there.
