DENVER, Sept. 17 (UPI) -- A new billboard in Colorado tells viewers: "Don't let a candy bar ruin your vacation." The public service announcement isn't referring to a Snickers or Butterfinger; it's referencing pot-laced candy bars.
After the death of two adults were linked to pot-laced food, often referred to as "edibles," the marijuana industry is looking to combat the public relations backlash with a message of moderation. Low and slow is the gist of the new campaign by the Marijuana Policy Project, a lobbying group that receives support from companies in the burgeoning marijuana industry.
