Is this good marketing or false advertising?

It says on the back that there are no detectable traces of THC in the product.  Here's the question though: why are there marijuana leaves on the box?

I'm gonna make one of those fake motivational posters.  The title could be "Marketing" but I don't know a good subtitle.

I bet it's popular among really dumb teenagers.  "Hey guys, guess what I found?  Pot cereal!"

"Dude that's awesome"

"Yeah man"

That looks like crunchy muesli.

I haven't had that in years, it was the shizzle.

Industrial Hemp is not the same as the cannabis grown for drug use - hence the disclaimer.  Both are Cannabis plants, which is why there is a Cannabis leaf on the box.

Lack of research, tbh.

Except that hydrocodone isn't usually made from poppy plants as far as I know.

I thought it was funny though because like me, I associate it as a Marijuana leaf, thus a bad, or in the case of teenagers, good, stigma.

Its not false advertising... It have the leaves of the plant it was made from...

It says no THC, and its USDA approved thats a good hint.

The picture is just there to fool stupid people into buying it. Thats what America is all about.

The website seems to have other products made from it such as hemp milk (like soy milk with the soy replaced with pot)

All those who say it's a picture of the leaf and yada yada, it's a joke first of all, this whole thread, and it's the same leaf as marijuana.  That's why farmers can't grow it here in the US because it's hard to tell the difference between hemp and marijuana without um...taste-testing it...

Hemp doesn't have THC in the first place.
