AMERICAN federal drug agents have raided "the biggest candy marijuana factory" on the west coast of the United States - a highly sophisticated operation where workers clocked in to make "Toka Cola", "Pot Tarts" and "Keef Kats".
They discovered hundreds of boxes of brightly-packaged cannabis confectionery and a massive hemp-growing and distribution operation in a raid on Thursday just outside San Francisco.
Twelve people are in custody and await charges relating to distribution of marijuana after searches of four warehouses and a house in the Oakland area netted the sweets, $100,000 (£57,000) in cash, several automatic weapons and between 4,000 and 5,000 marijuana plants.
The wrappers of the sweets and soft drinks - cannabis- infused sugar, caramel and/or chocolate - parodied prominent brand names normally found on supermarket shelves such as Buddahfingers, Munchy Way, Rasta Reece's and Puff-a-Mint Pattie.
