\u201cStoneos\u201d cannabis cookies removed from stores for looking too much like Oreos FDACannabis double-stuffed \u201cStoneos\u201d are being removed from stores after the FTC ruled the edible cookies looked too much like Oreos. Weed products are becoming more popular than ever now that more countries and states are legalizing marijuana, but that doesn\u2019t mean there aren\u2019t still issues with the ordeal. Edibles are among the most popular way people enjoy marijuana products with drinks, brownies, cookies, and gummies giving consumers a powerful high. However, one product that you won\u2019t be seeing much more of is \u201cStoneos,\u201d a cannabis cookie that the FTC says took its Oreo parody way too far. FTC rules \u201cStoneos\u201d are too much like Oreos As reported by Reuters, six companies were sent cease and desist letters after the FTC determined that children could mistake the marijuana products for their normal counterparts. In addition to \u201cDouble Stuf Stoneos,\u201d other THC products included \u201cJolly Rancher Gummies Sours\u201d and \u201cCheetos Crunchy XXTRA Flamin\u2019 Hot.\u201d \u201cMarketing edible THC products that can be easily mistaken by children for regular foods is reckless and illegal,\u201d the FTC\u2019s Samuel Levine said. \u201cCompanies must ensure that their products are marketed safely and responsibly, especially when it comes to protecting the well-being of children.\u201d FDA Principal Deputy Commissioner Janet Woodcock also remarked: \u201cChildren are more vulnerable than adults to the effects of THC, with many who have been sickened and even hospitalized after eating \u2018edibles\u2019 containing it.\u201d Back in 2021, Canada\u2019s state broadcaster reported that a child fell ill after eating the Stoneo cannabis cookies that were packaged like Oreos. As a result of the decision, the companies must cease marketing edible Delta-8 THC products that imitate traditional foods or use packaging that could appeal to kids. NC Hemp Exchange and Dr. Smoke, two of the six companies, have since stopped selling the products. The other four have yet to respond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
