Gary Fox And Daughter Caught With Marijuana-Laced Hard Candy

COXSACKIE, N.Y. -- A 48-year-old Massachusetts man and his daughter are being held in an upstate New York jail after state police say the pair was found with marijuana-laced hard candy after they were pulled over.

Officials say troopers stopped Gary Fox of Reading, Mass., on Monday in the southbound lanes of Interstate 87 in the town of Coxsackie (kuk-SAHK'-ee), 20 miles south of Albany.

Troopers say they found more than a pound of marijuana and about 40 pounds of hard candy laced with concentrated cannabis inside the vehicle. Police say the candy was packaged in bags separated by flavor, which included butter rum, cherry, coffee, orange, root beer and sour apple.

Both were charged with drug possession and are being held in the county jail. Information on their lawyers wasn't available.

Lets not spend our money catching real criminals. Lets waste it all on catching and jailing those nefarious pot heads making delicious treats! /facepalm

Vodka, beer, and those rum chocolates are all legal.
Pot won't get legalized because we aren't praying enough.
I'm going to pray right now after I donate one dollar to barackobama.com.

The war on marijuana is becoming such a farce. The U.S. government is becoming a machine that is perpetuating itself. Fighting marijuana is extremely lucrative and it is greasing the wheels of the criminal justice system.

Better stop before those marijuana laced gummy bears ATTACK!!
And imagine the people eating these things!! They could be plotting evil terrorism..for example, how to garden, contemplating religion, ooohh or worse, LAUGHING.
Legalize this flower before the Earth is made separate from us humans any more. This is a strange law, and was racist when it was first imagined.

Am I the only one who got instructions on how to make candy with the story?

Why is it that it's never someone who would put the marijuana to good use that finds it?! LOL

Because only cops wanting to move up the bribe ladder turn it in to the evidence locker?
