"(03-16) 18:00 PST OAKLAND -- Federal drug agents raided warehouses in Oakland and Emeryville today and arrested a Lafayette man and 11 other people on charges that they made candy and soft drinks made to resemble popular goodies but laced with marijuana.

Kenneth Affolter, 39, of Lafayette was the leader of the outfit, which called itself Beyond Bomb and manufactured a range of pot-laced treats with such names as Buddahfingers, Munchy Way, Rasta Reece's and Puff-a-Mint Pattie, authorities said.

"This is the biggest candy marijuana factory that we have seen on the West Coast," said Javier Pena, special agent in charge of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration in San Francisco. "There was a great deal of sophistication that involved different labels, pretty much knock-offs of the real thing. This is potentially dangerous for kids and people who don't know what they're eating and what they're drinking."

Affolter and 11 other men and women who packaged the products are to appear Friday in U.S. District Court in San Francisco on charges of distribution of marijuana.

Drug agents searched two adjoining warehouses on Yerba Buena Avenue where the marijuana candy was produced. They also searched a warehouse on Adeline Street, Affolter's Lafayette home and 1740 Telegraph Ave. in Oakland, a location associated with the Compassionate Caregivers Club, authorities said.

During the raids, investigators seized about $100,000 in cash, between 4,000 and 5,000 marijuana plants, marijuana-growing equipment, three weapons and hundreds of sodas and candy laced with marijuana, Pena said.

The doctored treats were packaged for shipment throughout the West Coast, authorities said.

The investigation began in October, when DEA agents in Oakland learned that Affolter was running the operation. On Thursday, agents seized numerous candies and drinks with labels including, Keef Kat, Stoney Ranchers, Puffsi and Toka-Cola."

You missed the follow-up. Apparently the accused (and the accused's reporter) are now claiming that it's all medical marijuana.

I guess it isn't surprising they would claim that, true or not.

I do think the fake product names are pretty funny. Toka-Cola and a Keef-Kat, please.
