Idaho Forced to Replace 420 Mile Markers With 419.9 Because, You Know, Weed

This is definitely not an 'American Ultra' ad campaign.

Idaho, the state equivalent of that annoying middle child who will always (always!) rat on his older and younger siblings for the sheer f:)cking joy of it, is suffering minor damages to that distinction due to being practically surrounded by sibling states with legalized weed. The state is, sadly, quite proud and relatively infamous for its bafflingly strict anti-weed laws, making the mysterious case of its disappearing road signs all the more satisfying.

Following similar incidents in Colorado and Washington, Idaho is now being hilariously forced to replace 420 mile markers with brilliantly bumbling 419.9 signs. Thus far, only one sign in the definitely-not-high state has been officially replaced. "Having a sign removed from a highway is pretty rare," the Idaho Transportation Department's Adam Rush tells the Associated Press. "In Idaho, people will shoot at them or write on them before stealing them completely. We spend more time mending signs than replacing them."

In related news, a young genius is currently enjoying his or her favorite strain while experiencing great pride in a bedroom full of increasingly rare 420 mile marker signs. "Our work is done," this person might say. "The battle is won."
