| Look at these Bogus Sources. So i saw this thread earlier about the "stoners in the mist" on a thread here so i decided to take a look. Afterwards, i wanted to check out the shit they had to say about our holy herb.
holy shit is all i have to say.
When you look at their "reality checks" section, there are several padded and untrue facts in a little box. In the corner is a small button that says sources. Look at the sources they referenced for their "facts".
I made all the bullshit big, and blue.

(and keep in mind that that is the date that the article was most recently updated, not written, thats how you source it.)
