He's like a Scooby-Doo villain but for good? He would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those pesky cops.

In true Easter Egg Hunt fashion, one egg was not recovered until someone's grandchild randomly found it a day later.

Thought you were joking

"The suspect posted four photos on Facebook showing each location as hints to locate the eggs," the release said. "He also posted a photo of five plastic eggs in the seat of a vehicle. Officers found four eggs and believed he had not placed the fifth."

Officers learned they were incorrect in their assumption when a man and his granddaughter turned the final egg into the department the next day, having also found it in a park, per the release. In total, officers said they recovered over a quarter of an ounce of marijuana

over a quarter of an ounce of marijuana

So like $100-200 worth of weed? Unless it was like shake or something.

9

Much less than that. I get an ounce for $100 from my dealer. And he’s competing with dispensaries, so it’s not shake, either.

8

A quarter oz is $40-$70 at dispensaries in my area (medical legal state)

In Northern California you can get a crappy ounce for $50, a good one for $100

Damn, that's cheap. In my part of the UK, $80 would get you a quarter ounce of what my peers consider to be decent, but would probably be crappy by California standards.

1

Do keep in mind that if you go the legal route in California there’s another 50% or so of tax tacked onto the price. But then you get to use websites with pictures and test data instead of all the dealer nonsense.

Used to be cheaper precovid, good one for 80$, depends on the strain tho, the common easy to grow ones were like 70-80 and good

I don’t remember seeing indoor at those prices, only outdoor. Honestly for how bad inflation has been weed prices have gone up relatively less imo.

1

Never that cheap in cencal but I was getting great deals norcal (a lot of people starting working for weed companies in college and were constantly posting deals or selling without tax on their own lol) Like theyd be given weed for helping with a harvest and would sell that.

Paint greased pigs with the numbers 1,2 and 4. Release said pigs. Watch the hilarity ensue.

This is horrible. Does anyone have the locations of the eggs so I can safely recover them to make sure no one else smokes those dank nuggs?

37

The police hunted them all down, that had to be a hell of a day at work lol

Why are the police looking for him?

Dont they have better things to do than give people awards or sth?

This is a great idea.

This kept a bunch of cops busy looking for eggs. States like Florida have a bunch of cops looking for migrants to arrest and deport.

Not saying anyone should do this. It would be an interesting experiment to see what would happen if a bunch of people posted clues to Easter eggs that might contain drugs or maybe just a pretty little flower.

10

That would be great. Use a bunch of weed slang, bud, flower, sticky-icky, and then the eggs only contain lavender and chewing gum.

6

Guy was so high he planned it all in detail, then told everyone .... then later realized he hadn't done anything.

9

Oh man. A friend of mine from back when I was at University (30+ years ago) thought it would be a great idea to have a weed planting day. Everyone goes out to any public area that gets enough water through rain or watering, and just plants weed everywhere. I still think it would be funny to pull off.

Well if they ate it, literally nothing would happen. And I doubt they'd know to smoke it and/or how.

24

Yep, it would need to be decarbed (a process that a child can't do unless they explicitly look it up) and then ate with a fat to bind it for the liver.

Otherwise they're chewing up a plant that tastes kinda bad.

Lol we give em sips of wine for communion and most kids have seen their parents falling down drunk by that age. You gonna hide beer cans at the grocery store also?

An 8yo can look at one marijuana and go on to live a perfectly fruitful life, I promise

You think most parents have gotten falling down drunk? Around their small children, no less? Is alcohol abuse really that rampant?

1

It is, and that's an important conversation to have as a society. In this conversation, I was pointing out the hypocrisy of decrying something fairly innocuous, and coloring it as ridiculous when juxtaposed against something similar yet more damaging that we, not only tolerate, but actively celebrate.

As a Marijuana user and a father of young kids, I am aware that drugs and alcohol affect brain development.

Just because it's cool and funny doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Hurts nobody. Completely legal plant in half the country. Kid might as well have found a can of beer.

Our communities have more to fear from the people who use "what about the children!?1!" as their basis for what constitutes good vs bad, than we do from some plant based medicine being left around as literal easter eggs

Yeah well I don't let my kids take any sort of medicine on their own.

You guys have been fighting society on this issue so long you are forgetting there is nuance.

Unless your 8 year old knows how to smoke weed, or decarb it, and cook it into fats, that weed isn't going to do anything to them. Like literally.

I'd hate to live there. I couldn't imagine having to Old Yeller my kids because they saw some wild marijuana growing in the woods or something...

i grew up in a society where children thought a single sip of beer made you an alcoholic. what's appropriate, what's safe, and what's legal are very different things.

You give your kids alcohol in church?

I'm not talking about drinking in general. (although you shouldn't give alcohol to young children) I'm talking about communion
