Edible Pot Sales To Kids Earns Fairburn Man $30,000 Bail

DOUGLASVILLE, GA — Douglas County Superior Court judge Cynthia Adams set bond at $30,000 Thursday for a man who was selling marijuana-laced treats to high school students, according to the Douglas County District Attorney's Office.

Addea Simmons, 20, is charged with five felony drug counts in connection to an operation he ran called Trill Treats. Simmons is being held in the Douglas County jail and has been since his arrest on Dec. 5, 2017.

With 4,700 followers, Simmons attracted buyers through his Instagram page, where there were price lists for the marijuana-laced goodies.

Simmons' operation was revealed during a FOX 5 I-Team hidden camera investigation. One buyer of Simmons' product ended up in the hospital.

Prosecutors say Simmons was pocketing $5000 profit each month, according to the FOX 5 I-Team.

According to rollout.com, "the undercover buyer purchased 12 wrapped brownies for $100 and an additional $5 delivery fee from the teen. Lab results on the brownies showed a THC level, the active component in marijuana, that was allegedly three times the accepted dosage of similar products in a pot legal state such as Colorado. However, there is no accepted dosage when it comes to recreational use of marijuana. Depending on the strength of a marijuana edible, many people only eat a small portion at a time."
