While I strongly support the legalization of marijuana, as a new father, I have concerns about the potential influence of marketing tactics on my daughter. I worry that products such as cannabis-infused gummies, and other similar inventions designed to pique the interest of children, could have a similar impact to the flavored cigarettes I encountered as a child or the current trend of flavored e-cigarettes.

Hi Liam, we are on the same page with this. It seems so obvious that these new ads are targeting teens and worse, kids even younger. I am also of the era when you could buy the gum that looked like a cigarette. I have noticed though that stores around me have really cracked down on selling cigarettes to anybody without ID. They even scan their license. So hopefully, that will deter underage kids from being able to buy the gummy drugs.
