you wont ever hear shit like this from JPD because you can buy this same stuff at just about any bodega in the hood.
Monet's picture reveals his/her disappointment that no blessings will be forthcoming.
Soon the pot heads will be hear to proclaim Monet was performing a public service. Free the Land!
That is way beyond messed up!
I can't even imagine the effect on minors who would get their hands on this dope candy.
The Feds needs to get involved at the highest level.
Why do you only see Clinton, Pearl & Rankin county ever bust these drug dealers? I have never heard of Jackson or Hinds county ever busting drug thugs.
“We need to focus on educating parents, teachers, and children to the dangers of the potency of these products,"
What dangers? Edibles are legal in several states.
All these Challenger/Charger folk... Can't drive worth a damn, and now our candy gone.
Trick or treat! I'm going to Monet's house.
Damn, If he doesn't look kinda like Willie Wonka!
The Candy Man Oh, the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good (makes the world taste good)
Who can take a rainbow (who can take a rainbow?)
And wrap it in a sigh (wrap it in a sigh)
Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie?
The Candy Man (the Candy Man)
The Candy Man can (the Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good (makes the world taste good)
OH, BTW. Halloween is just 3 months away!!!!
What a total waste of law enforcement resources.
Edibles such as these, along with ring pops (to appeal to the young kids) would have been available under the maryjoe industry's Initiative 65 that was supposedly for "medical" purposes.
Please someone that is butthurt about the Supreme Court's (proper) ruling on the constitutionality of the law - not ruling on the marijuana issue itself 0 just how these edibles serve a "medical" purpose.
What the Hello! In the third picture theirs a rainbow picture of Barack Obama. Now, how does he figure into this?
@3:04. Totally agree. Why not legalize cannabis and make some tax money? Then cops can have adequate funding to go after burglars, rapists, and child molesters.
cannabis edibles are about as much of a problem with minors as boones farm and four loco.
Or any other that other fruity alcohol sold in convenience and grocery stores.
The beauty of this Monet, like most works of art is, well...subjective.
If they need a volunteer to help get rid of that crap have them text me! That should be enough to last until Tate gets off his ass and let’s some sort of cannabis law pass.

@3:10 your a piece of work you know that! Why not take your worthless behind to we are the 74 on Facebook and you’ll see thousands of reasons these types of cannabis serve a medical purpose. You should count your blessings!
Pot legality or morality aside, I have no idea if the rest of the brands of "candy" are knock-offs of real brands, but the "Jolly Ranchers" and "Skittles" knock-offs might get the feds interested if Hershey's and Mars push it. Most companies of that size and exposure have well-connected folks, often retired feds, on their corporate security teams so it could get interesting if either or both of those companies take a position on it.
Question: Why can’t Monet sell marijuana yet the government which created the laws to allow Monet’s arrest) can sell marijuana, alcohol and tobacco?
@2:05PM
Pure comedy.
You morons and/or trolls, these edibles disguised as candy are potentially lethal to youngsters!
@3:43
There are states in these United States where it is legal for Ferrero (Mars no longer exists) to manufacture cannabis candy. And these candies are properly marked for sale. A clerk can tell the difference between cannabis candy just like they know kids can’t buy sour apple flavored hard seltzer.
Some of you people are real dinguses. You don’t think parents need to be educated so we can in turn educate children not to eat candy with specific markings on the bag? As if the only place a young child obtains candy is by purchasing it himself. Selfish adults are ruining this world. Think, for once, about the potential harm these products cause to developing minds and bodies and how easily they can be mistaken for something that isn’t an intoxicant. It’s about more than your and your idiotic desire to get high without reproach.
@4:06PM
I have no idea of the laws in every state but I'll accept for the purposes of a discussion that there may be states in which state law would authorize such candy and packaging. But state law does not override federal law. I also no idea what Ferrero has to do with this. You might want to do a little research on Mars, not to mention federal law. While the feds may not bust folks in pot-legal states, it would be against federal law to make such candy, especially for interstate commerce, so I'll guess that large multinational companies (public or private) are not making or distributing it in the US.
I do not know the current position of every large company and fund but in the not-so-distant past at least, many or most were reluctant to even invest in the stock of cannabis companies because of the mere possibility of the feds getting involved and invoking federal drug-related laws, codes, etc.
"In order to realize true impact, it is necessary to also stand up and bolster the social supports and community programs that lift up our communities by addressing issues of poverty, joblessness, mental health, gaps in education and opportunity and more."
So after bail and legal fees, will Monet be Baroque??
@6:02 you win the broke the internet award for today!!
@4:04PM
So, are you saying the edibles should at least contain some sort of warning sticker to prevent children from purchasing them?
If so, genius!
All I know is that the people of Mississippi voted for Medical Marijuana and the MS Supreme Conveniently sided with the liquor lobby and the mayor of Madison based instead of the Will of the People
Supreme Court made the right ruling. Blame the legislature and Jim Hood. Jim Hood for his crap opinion 13 years ago and the legislature sitting on its ass.
The Legislature knew this case was coming down the turnpike across the street but no, those capitol fatasses couldn't be bothered to do something constructive to head off the problem. The bill to fix the Section died on the calendar, thank you Mr. Chairman. Bills to approve medical marijuana went nowhere as well.
All the House cared about was screwing Bomgar and throwing a tantrum over tax cuts. The Senate has held hearings this year on the subject. Has the House?
A charger is involved....no I wont believe it.
All you dopeheads are welcome to move to Colorado. Please exit as soon as possible.
People, if you're going to smuggle drugs into the State of Mississippi by car:
1. Don't smuggle drugs into the State of Mississippi. Parchman is not a pleasant place. That's the best advice I can give you.
But if you gonna do it anyway:
1. Don't drive a Dodge Challenger or Charger or Mustang or Corvette. The preferred vehicle would be a Camry or an Accord or such.
2. Don't use a rental car. Use your own car with Mississippi plates. All lights, signals reflectors etc in good working order.
3. Don't be driving in at no 30 minutes after midnight. Daylight travel only. Drive the speed limit +/- 3mph.
4. Driver should be a middle-aged white man or woman.
5. Have enough luggage that would indicate a trip to Colorado [or wherever you smuggling from]. If the only clothing you carrying is what you got on, you've raised red flags.
6. Vacuum seal your stuff and don't let the product ever touch the outside of the vacuum sealed back. Then seal the vacuum sealed bag inside another vacuum sealed bag.
7. Have a credible story about where you're coming from and headed to. Don't tell the officer you was out in Colorado to visit the Grand Canyon with friends.
8. Be pleasant as pie with any law enforcement that happens to stop you, but don't ever, ever, ever consent to a search of your vehicle.
Legalize recreational Marijuana. You could eat a whole bag of those gummies and the worse thing that would happen would be that you realized that life is more than the clothes you wear, the money you make, and the social ladders you have been climbing. You will realize that you need to reconnect with family members and old friends, treat people with respect, and love others as you love yourself. Call me crazy, but I never met a marijuana user that was violent, aggressive or reckless, just from marijuana use. Now, I have met a few drunk people at bars that were violent, reckless, self-centered and not concerned about others.... but hey, alcohol is a big business.
What the hey is a bodega? That's not a word in the common languages of India.
Just saw Ford Hayman is the Chief. Went to high school with him. He seems like a nice guy Good for him and his team on this.
I read somewhere the 2022 Chargers will have as a new option. Automatic Denial. You push a button and over the stereo it starts stating I did not do anything, You will hear from my lawyer, etc, etc.
Count de Money! Count de Money!
