Hey Dude … Pass the Rice Krispy treats: The Drug Enforcement Agency Bust Marijuana Laced Snack Factory

 

Unbelievable, they have factories that do this now? So much for making the “special” Browniesbrownies at home … these guys made a cottage industry out of it. The DEA busted a factory that made marijuana laced snack foods. The factory shipped products to medical marijuana dispensaries throughout California and in Seattle; Vancouver, British Columbia; and Amsterdam.

Federal agents said Thursday that they shut down a factory that made marijuana-laced barbecue sauce, chocolate-covered pretzels and other “enhanced” snacks intended for medical users of the drug.

The Drug Enforcement Agency said it arrested three people Wednesday and is looking for a fourth who operated Oakland-based Tainted Inc.

Agents also seized 460 marijuana plants and other laced products including candy bars, cookies, marshmallow pies, ice cream, peanut butter, jelly, energy drinks and “Rice Krispy treats.”

Tainted Inc. was launched by Michael Martin, 33, of El Sobrante as a small operation that made laced chocolate truffles. When it was raided Wednesday, the company was shipping products to medical marijuana dispensaries throughout California and in Seattle; Vancouver, British Columbia; and Amsterdam.

      Van Roger Smith Jr. (16); Michael Graham Currie (18); and Sherrod Nicholas Harrison (19) – charged with murder and breaking and entering

      Hey nym2000,
      Constantly thinking of race all the time in crimes? Looks like you are one of the consumers of these laced brownies and seemed awfully mad that the Feds busted them.

      Where you gonna buy your groceries nows, hmmmmm?

      Well, they should legalize marijuana anyway. Stop ruining peoples lives and putting them in prison for smoking. Alcohol is worse.
