Chronic Candy
Chronic Candy is a marijuana-flavored lollipop and gumdrop line. The developers claim, "every lick is like taking a hit." Chronic Candy is a hemp-based confection. There have been no illegal substances found in the candy. A breakdown of the ingredients reveals a lot of sugar in the forms of glucose, dextrose, sugar, inverted sugar, and starches, along with different dyes for color and a "natural hemp flavor", presumably, hemp oil flavoring. There is no drug in the candy. The candy is imported from Switzerland and contains no THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. They are distributed through a very small (2-person) business out of California. These suckers and chewy candies are not really new phenomena; they are just a recent focus of the media. Because it is not an illegal substance for children or adults, we might start seeing it in Ohio before long. Currently, the candy is not sold in Ohio stores.
