Walmart sells marijuana-themed hoodie for... children via TheGrowthOp
Walmart raised some eyebrows this weekend while getting into the sartorial spirit of St. Patrick’s Day.
In a screen grab that was widely circulated on social media, Walmart.com featured a novelty cannabis leaf sweater… for children.The pink, child-size hoodie features a three-leaf clover with the word “normal” underneath, followed by a four-leaf clover with the word “lucky,” and a large cannabis leaf with the word “superlucky.” The child modeling the shirt smiles, but the upper two-thirds of her face is out of shot.
The item has since been removed from the site. The company declined to take responsibility for the sweater, despite the fact that it was sold on their website. “This isn’t an item sold on Walmart.com and we will alert the IT team to remove the image and/or page immediately,” a Walmart.com supervisor said in a statement to Las Vegas Now.Walmart launched a third-party sellers marketplace a la Amazon in Canada in the summer of 2017, wherein other companies and brands can sell their wares through the platform, and the item appears to have been sold by user J_H_I, who has other items for sale on the site.
The site still sells an identical hoodie in white and in red for men, although it is currently out of stock.Want to keep up to date on what’s happening in the world of cannabis?
