Carrier pigeon cannabis delivery hoax
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The carrier pigeon cannabis delivery hoax was a hoax circulated via the internet in 2025 claiming that carrier pigeons in New York City were photographed with orange backpacks carrying one gram of cannabis for delivery to consumers. After a week of media coverage including Time Out magazine,[1] Brooklyn Eagle,[2] the New York Post,[3] High Times,[4] and Good Day New York on WNYW, the New York City Fox Television affiliate, it turned out that a New York dispensary had instigated the hoax as a workaround for restrictive cannabis advertising laws.[5][6]
