According to "laurel g" a teacher and counsellor from Eureka, California, "This is happening in large store parking lots, malls, etc." and, "This is not an urban legend. The lady this happened to, works at our city newspaper."

I do wonder whether "this lady" reported the incident to police and it's on record? Was it reported in any local newspaper(s)? Or does "this lady" smoke too much of the spiky leaf rumored to grow wild in Mendocino County?

What do YOU think?
Ooops! forgot to mention the fake perfume is Ether... isn't there a French perfume named Ether?
I prefer to think cannabis stifles inhibition and stimulates the imagination, and doesn't make people insane.

I called the cops in Eureka to inquire about the (strange, but true?) Ether story, but all they are interested in is knowing where I found the spiky leaves.
And Eureka, CA is in Humboldt County (my mistake)
