And one, packed with concentrates, labeled "He is resin!"

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.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year 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

over a quarter of an ounce of marijuana

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

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago

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

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.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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

thank you for the economics lesson i was gettin ready

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

Guess I'll be the guy to bring it down... what if literal 8 year Olds found it

[–] Gold_E_Lox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago

then they would probably eat the chocolate and throw away the smelly grass inside

[–] refutablewife@reddthat.com 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] refutablewife@reddthat.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It depends on where you are but that's not appropriate where I'm from

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

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...

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

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

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.

In my city a guy tapes money to an object randomly in some random neighborhood

the weedster bunny

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 0 points 1 year ago

Why are the police looking for him?

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

[–] dechnically@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

free my boy he did nothing wrong

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

Great, this will just stir up the "omg Halloween candy has razor blades in it" crowd.

[–] yarr@feddit.nl 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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?

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

I'll help you.

[–] Kookie215@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Read the article. The police have them all.
