Anti drug campaigners are furious about the “digital leaf” pattern.

IN this glorious digital age the world is at our fingertips and we can buy almost anything we like without ever having to leave the house.

Amazon is a godsend to parents who are looking for great kids items at affordable prices, but they may have missed the mark with this recent item, reports Kidspot.

Angry parents and anti drug campaigners have hit out at Amazon over a listing selling leggings aimed at two to six year olds, printed with what the seller describes as a ‘digital leaf pattern’. Unfortunately, many people did not find the pattern quite so generic and criticised the company for selling marijuana patterned leggings to young children.

It was a grandmother from Florida who first raised the concerns over the controversial clothing, telling a local news program: “I just think that’s very inappropriate for a three-year-old, not something they should be advertising.”

While the original advertisement has since been removed by the site, there are still identical pants available by other sellers on the site.

Scott Chipman, an activist for Citizens Against Legalising Marijuana told the Huffington Post that the leggings were sending children the wrong message.

“Anything that normalises marijuana with kids is child abuse,” He said.

The concern around drug culture and kids has been increasing in recent years, particularly as celebrities like Miley Cyrus continue to openly promote smoking marijuana as a normal practise.

Earlier this year, Richard Branson even suggested that parents should smoke marijuana with their children rather than leaving them to experiment alone.

“If they’re going to have a joint, do it with them,” Branson said. “Don’t let them sneak off and do it on their own.”
