ATLANTA - Georgia retailers soon will be banned from selling candy flavored to taste like marijuana to children.
Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue signed a measure into law Wednesday that bans the sale of ``marijuana flavored products'' to minors anyone under 18 and calls for a fine of up to $500 for each offense.
The measure takes effect July 1.
It targets businesses that sell the candies with drug-inspired names, such as ``Kronic Kandy'' and ``Pot Suckers.''
The law says the candies promote drug use.
Vote Hemp, a national organization that promotes the use of hemp products and tracks legislation, says the measure would make Georgia the first state to ban the sale of the candy to minors.
