Justin Scheck over at Legal Pad (http://legalpad.wordpress.com/2006/09/26/pot-rulings/#more-361) observes:
"For those who keep track of drug laws, it turns out to be a bad idea to manufacture pot snacks, even for sale at medical marijuana co-ops. Oh, and also, you shouldn’t be giving bong hits to your toddler."
It seems the Ninth Circuit recently had to uphold the conviction of Jessica Durham, a woman who had her 1 1/2 year old take bong hits to improve her appetite and mellow her mood. Well...yeah, I guess.
Also, it seems a gentleman named Kenneth Affolter pled guilty Tuesday to conspiring to manufacture and distribute "Pot Tarts," "Munchy Way," and "Trippy Peanut Butter." One of the main objections on the law's part, apparently, was that aside from that whole "illegal drug" thing, the names sounded aimed at younger users. This rings some kind of bell for me...

Anyway, one has to be impressed with the deductive skills of the friend who turned Durham in:
“Based on her extensive experience as a marijuana smoker for over 20 years, she recognized the substance which Ms. Durham scraped from the inside of the water pipe as marijuana residue — that is, the burnt residue left on or in a pipe after smoking marijuana."
Wow. No kidding.
