And who says that creative business ideas don't abound in America. This is definitely a California concept:

... "Heavenly Hash-brownie" mix from Duncan Hines or whoever? And who would get the rights to the tradename ... just think of the Trademark battle that has waged for nearly a century over "Toll House". Nestlé may have thought they have won (or so they did believe at least twice since the 1930's) but, I'm sure there's got to be at least one more battle in store over that latter. With regard to the potential for abuse of the other, my mind simply boggles over just how much money could (and likely would) be squandered in support the former.

Nice way to avoid the tars and other carcinogenics that you inhale by smoking the stuff.

Not sure what it'd taste like, though. Brownies work because THC is fat-soluble and you bake the brownies using butter. Not sure what lipid they'd use in a soft drink :-/
