House Judiciary Committee Hearing on HB 1250

Rep. Cincy Acree, the sponsor of HB1250, parades non-medicated props purchased at Target to mimic the "Pot Tarts" and "Cap'n Chronic Cereal" that law enforcement swears is flooding Colorado school yards. This misdirection confused even the Associated Press, who falsely reported that the actual "Pot Tarts" and "Cap'n Chronic Cereal" were in the Capitol that day.

This includes Cap'n Crunch cereal made by Quaker Oats, Sparkling Lime Soda made by Izze of Boulder, Colorado, and Crispy Marshmallow Bites made by Archer Farms (a Target brand).

 

The Colorado Drug Investigators Association had given a letter to Committee members that morning with photographs of "Pot Tarts" and "Cap'n Chronic Cereal", claiming that these were showing up on Colorado school grounds and being marketed to children. However the "Pot Tarts" photograph came from a DEA bust in California in 1986, and the "Cap'n Chronic Cereal" photograph was a T-shirt design and was never documented to be a real product by anyone.
