Most of it is sold to smoke, or maybe in baked goods. I suspect that most of the candy products they sell are chocolate. Gummy bears are less kid focused then you think, I don't think of selling pot in candy products as primarily focused on kids, and absent evidence besides the product themselves I don't think its enough to support a charge of marketing to kids (not just not enough for a criminal charge, not enough for me to think a lawsuit or regulatory or legislative action is reasonable) If you want to nail them to the wall if and when they actually sell to kids fine. But otherwise they should be able to sell it in cotton candy, and bubblegum flavored lollipops. I don't support taking options away from adult buyers simple because kids may like it too (and its something we don't want kids to have). "Think of the children" is one of the main motivators behinds all sorts of intrusive big government controls and spending, even when the actual danger to kids is pretty insignificant, and/or when the actual protection of kids from whatever danger there is, is pretty insignificant.
