Smoke Shops Are Targeting Our Children
“Edibles containing cannabis were packaged and sold as copycat versions of popular food and candy products to make them attractive to young people. The businesses were not licensed to sell cannabis.” [2]
“What we have learned is that a lot of these smoke shops are targeting our youth. They are using beloved cartoon characters as their advertisements and the only reason they would be doing that is because they’re advertising specifically to children.”
