(28,298 posts)The heavy narcotic lollypops are a highly controlled substance, available only through a prescription, and labeled to the hilt with potency, dosage information, and warnings. They are intended to treat severe pain in cancer patients.
Flaovored liquid cough medicine =/= candy. It is also a controlled substance, available only through prescription (I assume you are referring to the narcotic variety), and clearly labeled with dosage and potency and warning information. OTC cough drops pretty much are candy, and certainly not psychoactive. My children take gummi vitamins, and from what I've been able to tell, they are not psychoactive either.

Mmmmm. Looks yummy!
Marijuana candy:

Naaw, that could never be mistaken for ordinary candy.
And yes, they do contain some important info on the labeling, but the packaging leaves something to be desired IMO.
Sorry, not buying your argument, but I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on this.
