A fake news report about a marijuana recall is creating some buzz online after claiming that four people died and 49 others were hospitalized in Colorado on account of bad weed. There are a few obvious problems with the story, published by the Boston Tribune on Tuesday. The article ― which appears more fear-mongering than funny ― claims that a Denver-based manufacturer and distributor identified as “Rite Greens L.L.C.” rolled back its products in response to the recall. At first glance, there does appear to be some evidence to support the Tribune’s story. A statement published on a website and Facebook page for a business called Rite Greens Pot Shop appeared to confirm the recall, and said it was only temporary.
