But that didn’t stop a grandmother in Fort Myers, Florida, from trying to weed out the items on Amazon.
The woman, who asked not to be named, told WFTX-TV she considers the pot pants inappropriate for children and complained through Amazon’s website.

Amazon failed to respond to both the woman and The Huffington Post.
Meanwhile, the toked-up tights have sparked a blaze of controversy with parents and anti-drug advocates, including Diane Ramseyer, executive director of Drug-Free Charlotte in Florida.
“Why would you have that? You’re advertising that you’re showing acceptability to them,” Ramseyer told WFTX.
