The false story has circulated for years and the latest iteration says the ‘M’ brand cigarettes are being sold in pot-friendly Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska. The story, on urhealthguide.com, includes a doctored photo of a pack of Marlboro cigarettes, where the usually red trim is instead a swampy green and the package reads “Marlboro CANNABIS,” with a tiny green leaf on the cigarettes.

Philip Morris spokeswoman Iro Antoniadou said in an email the account published in urhealthguide is false. Despite a wave of victories for pot advocates at the state level, marijuana remains illegal at the federal level. U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions signaled a tougher approach to federal pot enforcement in January, making the marijuana marketplace an even riskier bet.
