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 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.

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?
