Support the independent voice of South Florida and help keep the future of New Times free.
OK, so the Miami-Dade County Commission will not be thrilled with us about this one, but we're giving away a bag of sour apple-flavored Potheads candy. (Thanks, To the Moon Marketplace, the special candy boutique -- with 12,000 items from around the world -- that donated it.)
The treat, a gummy candy in shape of marijuana leaves, doesn't contain THC or any illegal substances; the top two ingredients are sugar and glucose. It's the packaging that the politicians have a problem with -- the bag shows a
droopy-lidded cartoon dude flashing a peace sign and smoking a joint. The bag is stamped "Legalize." Two weeks ago, the commissioners voted
unanimously to condemn the sale and manufacture of the candy and urge
retailers to remove it from their shelves and not sell it to children.
To win the candy, tell us your favorite stoner munchie food. Show a little creativity here, peeps! (And be sure to log in with an email address, so we can contact you when you win.) We'll choose the winners at the end of the day on Monday.
Keep New Times Broward-Palm Beach Free... Since we started New Times Broward-Palm Beach, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of South Florida, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering South Florida with no paywalls.
