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.

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

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?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

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

Read the article. The police have them all.

This is so funny but also such a poor decision.

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.

Why are the police looking for him?

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (4 children)

over a quarter of an ounce of marijuana

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I got you for 25$ fam hit me up.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (6 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

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