Hershey sues imprisoned marijuana candy maker alleging trademark infringement

SAN JOSE, Calif. — It was a big enough bummer for Kenneth Affolter when he was sentenced to more than five years in prison for making pot-laced treats and soft drinks.

Now he faces the wrath of a candy giant.

The Hershey Co. has sued Affolter, 40, for giving his marijuana goodies names like Stoney Rancher, Rasta Reese's and Keef Kat. Each came in packaging similar to Hershey's Jolly Rancher, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Kit Kat candies, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.


They are just pissed that they didn't think of it first. Imagine the money you could make marketing Reefer's pieces.
