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.

This is so funny but also such a poor decision.

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?

[–] Kookie215@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 31 points 12 hours ago

Why are the police looking for him?

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

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 hours ago

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

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.

The hero we wanted, but didn't deserve

The Easter Buddy.

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 32 points 23 hours 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

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours 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.

[–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

I got you for 25$ fam hit me up.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

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

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

thank you for the economics lesson i was gettin ready

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 hours ago

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.

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 11 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 11 hours ago

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

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 11 points 21 hours ago

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