Prank website React365 posted an article titled "Marijuana Legalized In Alabama". The full text of the hoax read:
Govenor Kay Ivey passed a law legalizing the use of recreational and medicinal marijuana for the state of Alabama
As of November, first 2017 marijuana will be legal
Overall support for legalize marijuana has hit 64 30 states in the district of Columbia currently have laws broadly legalizing marijuana
I knew Gallup poll released earlier this month shows that a record high percentage of Americans now support legalizing marijuanaFor the first time immaturity of Republicans are in favor of legalizing marijuana as well
Update coming soon
Which is quite funny because yesterday the exact same article appeared but about Virginia and it wasn't true either:
Govenor Terry McAuliffe passed a law legalizing the use of recreational and medicinal marijuana for the state of Virginia
As of November, first 2017 marijuana will be legal
Overall support for legalize marijuana has hit 64 30 states in the district of Columbia currently have laws broadly legalizing marijuana
I knew Gallup poll released earlier this month shows that a record high percentage of Americans now support legalizing marijuanaFor the first time immaturity of Republicans are in favor of legalizing marijuana as well
Update coming soon
Exact same grammar mistakes, exact same phrasing. Right.
React365 is a prank website where users can submit their own headline, description and photo to create realistic looking prank news articles.
Users don't even need to upload their own image, there is a built-in search function that will pull an appropriate image from Google image search.
The site is part of a larger network of prank sites all using the same basic layout but sometimes in different languages. It appears to be run by a Belgian company named Mediavibes or Media Vibes which is managed by a man named Nicolas Gouriou according to registration records.
The site carries following satire disclaimer at the bottom of each page:
This website is an entertainment website, news are created by users. These are humourous news, fantasy, fictional, that should not be seriously taken or as a source of information.
So don't fall for this prank now that we've warned you about it!
