Anti-drug groups are up in arms over a marijuana-laced iced tea marketed in Britain as a healthy drink even though mind-altering chemicals have been removed.
C-Ice Swiss Cannabis Ice Tea is already on store shelves in continental Europe, Brand Republic reported. The drink is legal because the THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, has been taken out.
The containers to be used in Britain say that the beverage imparts "a fantastic natural feeling," The Sun reported. The containers also have a picture of marijuana leaves and advertise that the drink contains hemp blossom syrup and an extract of hemp bloom.
"This is normalization of cannabis in young people's minds," said David Raynes, a spokesman for the National Drug Prevention Alliance UK. "So many people come off the rails because of cannabis."
