      If I lived in Portland, I’d start doing this just to prove Snopes wrong.

        My mind went to the joke about how there will never be marijuana in a kid’s Halloween bag because nobody is going to waste marijuana like that. I was like there’s no way in hell someone is wasting marijuana plants like that lol

          nobody is going to waste marijuana like that

          I’m old enough to remember parents back in the 80s handing out cigarettes and beers to the other parents in the neighborhood as we went around Trick or Treating.

          Marijuana just isn’t that expensive. Very easy for me to believe a house would be handing out joints to consenting adults as a joke or even an advertising stunt.

          Marijuana?!? I never heard that! Where/when I was growing up, it was always hard, powdered drugs. Like cocaine in a pixie stick. Oh and razorblades in candy apples. I don’t know about the razor blades, but if I remember right, there’s only been one proven instance EVER of people intentionally trying to harm kids through Halloween candy, and it was the father? Or step father? So I wouldn’t even really count that.

              Lmfao! God damnit, now I can expect to see that all over the Internet in a month and a half. “Mothman puts pistols in candy!”

        I mean, given how Mill Ends Park got started, it does sound at least plausible…

    Instead plant endangered tree species so it’s illegal to remove them.

      Nobody who would remove them in the first place would give a shit whether they’re endangered

      You think the people who would remove them are checking?

        Can you imagine if it did? Such potential for abuse lmao. “Sorry neighbour that I hate, I planted a rare tree on your doorstep, guess you’re stuck with it now!”
