Pot Fairy Strikes Again 2

The “pot fairy” has struck again on Athens’ West Side, leaving marijuana plants on the porches of residents for the second time this year.
Athens Police Capt. Ralph Harvey confirmed Tuesday that officers had found over two dozen marijuana plants on porches on North Shafer Street and Brown Avenue Sunday morning after a complaint had been called in to the department.
“APD was called to a residence on N. Shafer St on (Sunday) at 7:40 a.m. about a potted plant that the caller suspected was marijuana that had been left on her porch,” Harvey said in an email Tuesday.
He said that officers located 25 plants in all on porches on the two streets.
“The plants did appear to be marijuana and were collected and placed into evidence,” he said. “There are no suspects at this time.”
A police report lists the crime being investigated as third-degree felony possession of marijuana, though it lists the quantity as 27 instead of 25.
The narrative included in the report does not provide further details, saying only that officer responded to the above-mentioned streets “in reference to multiple marijuana plants being placed on porches of multiple different residences.”
This past June, residents of Brown Avenue received their first visit from an unidentified marijuana plant almsgiver, with six plants left on the “front step” of six different homes.
At that time, no report was filed and the APD did not report having any “investigative leads.”
“Nothing really to put into a report,” Pyle said in June. “They just appeared. I don’t want to offer conjecture on why they appeared.”
The only other detail that Pyle offered: The plants were “very young.”
Athens Police did not provide an estimate of the plants’ age in the latest incident.
THE NEWS was recently put in contact with the person who claims to have gifted the marijuana plants to the Brown Avenue residences in June. The person, who requested anonymity for obvious reasons, said he was not responsible for the second wave of plant “gifts.”
Why did he do it initially, however?
The person said he was given the pot plants in a trade for his VCR player, but didn’t have the space for them anymore because he was moving. There were 35 plants total that he gave away, the person said, so it’s not clear what happened to the other plants that the APD didn’t confiscate.
This particular person was in favor of marijuana legalization ballot Issue 3 last year, and said he was disappointed by the medical marijuana bill approved by Ohio legislature this year.
“Last year everyone was damning issue 3 and hoping for just luck to make a better bill. A few days before leaving the worst medicinal (marijuana) bill passed in Ohio. Doesn’t make it available (apparently for two years still?), and doesn’t keep incarceration down,” the person said. “There was a big local push by local businesses to vote against (Issue) 3 until it serves their interest of profit over people. So essentially it was anti-regulations, and just kind-of funny to me.”

Lets hope they distributed 50 plants and that the cops only found half because people took them inside

Now personally I would love to see day of the pot plants! Only it would be a uplifting comedy rather then the horror show prohibitionist moronically think it would be.

Is this the pot fairy?

If I leave an empty bowl under my pillow, will the pot fairy come and visit me while I'm asleep?

I might call the cops if someone did it to me, simply because it could be some idiot who wanted to frame me for it. Like the parents who send childporn to people, just to report them to the police.

It was probably a thing where a lot of neighbors went out to get their newspapers at the same time, and so they all noticed their own pot plants as well as their neighbors' finding theirs simultaneously, and thus felt obligated to call the police because they didn't want their neighbors seeing them take it inside.

If you wanted to flower it out having it on the porch is a major opsec violation. Even for legal states which Ohio is incredibly far from.
