Ingredient Not Normally Found in Candy Bars

STONERBAR


WHEN IT GETS TO THIS POINT, don't you think the right thing to do in the war on some drugs is just sit down, surrender, and have a candy bar?

STONERS AND BUDDAFINGAS CANDY BARS
(CONTAINING THC)
IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

The Division of Forensic Toxicology, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (Rockville, Maryland), recently received two apparent candy bars labelled as Stoners and Buddafinga, that were visually similar to the commercial candy bars Snickers® and Butterfingers® (see Photo 1, right, and 2, next page). The bars, which weighed approximately 60 g each and were packaged in foil wrappers, were forwarded to the laboratory by the Coast Guard Marine Safety Office, San Francisco Bay, where they had been provided by a defense attorney for a merchant marine who tested positive for the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) metabolite, THC-COOH, during a random urinalysis.
