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.

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

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.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 21 hours 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.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 21 hours ago

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

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