Blowguns and energy beer banned

PENAL CODE SECTION 12582. Any person who knowingly manufactures, sells, offers forsale, possesses, or uses a blowgun or blowgun ammunition in thisstate is guilty of a misdemeanor.

SACRAMENTO, CA - San Francisco, California and 13 other states have reached an agreement with a second brewery to pull alcoholic energy drinks off store shelves.
The settlement with MillerCoors requires the company to stop manufacturing and marketing all caffeinated alcoholic beverages, including Sparks; reformulate Sparks so that it does not contain stimulants, including caffeine, guarana, taurine or ginseng, and eliminate the use of images that suggest an energizing effect; not promote the mixing of caffeinated products with alcoholic beverages; and inform distributors and retailers that reformulated Sparks contains alcohol, but no caffeine, and Sparks should be displayed separate from non-alcoholic energy drinks.
The states had argued the stimulants in Sparks counteracted drinkers' sense of intoxication, possibly distorting ther judgment and inducing unsafe behavior. Sparks has held 90 percent of the alcoholic energy drink market.
Last June, California and other states succeeded reaching an agreement with Anheuser-Busch to stop making its alcoholic energy drinks.
