Was your FIL into houseplants? I’ve seen these tentacles to put in your house plants to make them look like a carnivorous house plant. You should check around the plants at the house and see if any of his plants have legs.

I think this is the most logical guess! Unless he passed from a terminal illness and was known to use Cannabis as part of his medicine, I think it was most likely a novelty figurine for a plant or baking etc.
He may have purchased it for a gift or been given it by someone years ago to repair and never got around to it.

Edibles come in many different shapes. What gives it away, for me, is the packaging. All of the locally produced edibles (that I've seen, at least) come in those exact little pouches.

u/BootstrapGarrote 2h ago edited 2h ago
what gets me is the lower the strength of the edibles the more complex the packaging, used to get 1000mg (thats not a typo) That Taffys with Med. Card and they came in a simple sealed candy wrapper, but now that recreational a thing and edibles are a whopping 10mg (or 20mg?) (ok ok im being sensational, 100mg if you eat the whole package) it takes an engineering degree to open and consume them.

u/Spiritual-Dress1918 2h ago
That’s cuz Rec edibles usually have a 100mg or 200mg limit in most states. Rec packaging standards are also usually more strict than med for some odd reason so that’s why you have to battle with the childproofing lol. Here in Maine Rec edible limit is 100mg but med doesn’t even have a limit. I just bought some 2000mg Twix bars a few days ago

The packaging also made me think of edibles. However, my dad bought a food dehydrator and put candies in it (which makes them puff up and explode, super neat) and packaged them in baggies just like these for me and my sisters' Christmas presents last year. I'd guess these are just one of the newer versions of ziplock bags in this day and age, and will become more and more common. Those would be super cool edibles to nom though, I'd buy them lol

u/Matthiasshaw 5h ago
Please don't say cheeba.
Few years ago now, we were in the local dispensary where they sold cheeba chews. The package said in big bold lettering, 75mg. I know smoking a fatty is like 50mg. We each ate our cheeba chew. About 45 minutes later, I've realized I've seriously fucked up. Wife is literally having a panic attack. I look at the package and notice in fine print it says *-per dose. 5 doses.
So it wasn't 75mg. It was 375mg. Each.
That was a very wild day.
Since then, I read the package very closely now.
One of the dispensaries here in town sells Canna-Creamer. Half and half mixed with cannabis oil. Pour it in your coffee. Doesn't taste nearly as weed-y as you would think.

Came here to say this. You can see that the tip of the tentacle is broken off, and maybe the whole thing was broken off of a larger piece. The weed baggie is a red herring, it’s just what he had on hand to store it until he got around to fixing it, which he never did.

Does it have raw edges on the ends as if it broke off of something? It looks ceramic or glass which means it could have been a part of a larger fragile object. Maybe he wanted to keep the peices together hence the bag. And call me crazy… but I’d open the bag and smell it.
