Medical Marijuana food truck hits Lakers' victory parade in Los Angeles, hands out weed lollipops

A food truck at the Lakers' parade Monday had some fans cheering it was high time.
The truck, which boasted the phrase 'Weed World Candies.com', touted marijuana lollipops along the parade route, the Los Angeles Times reported.
This seems to be the first reported sighting of the truck, and no website exists yet at that address.
The Times reported that the truck was run by Bilal Muhammad, who said he had recently been forced to close his store in West Hollywood and had taken his show on the road.
"It's been working out very well," he told the LA Times, before driving away at the sight of police.
In addition to orange and blue marijuana lollipops, the truck carried a variety of marijuana, included brands like OG Kush and Grand Daddy Perp, the Times reported.
Interested customers had to present a prescription card verifying that they were allowed to purchase marijuana, and then were given a lollipop for free.
In the past, companies like Chronic Candy stirred up controversy by selling marijuana-flavored lollipops, which were endorsed by Snoop Dogg and Paris Hilton, according to a 2006 NPR report.
But those lollipops didn't require a prescription - they didn't contain THC, the chemical that causes marijuana users to feel a high.
