Keeping drugs in a bag emblazoned with the words “Definitely Not A Bag Full Of Drugs” is all fun and games until you get arrested for having them in your possession. That’s what happened to someone in Oregon last year, but they were just the first member of what appears to be a growing club thanks to another incident that recently unfolded in Florida.
There are plenty of general rules you want to keep in mind if you go out in public with a sizeable quantity of illegal drugs in your possession, and you obviously want to avoid calling unnecessary attention to yourself and your stash if you end up in that position.
I’d argue keeping drugs in a bag that’s labeled “Definitely Not A Bag Full Of Drugs” is an objectively funny bit, but I do feel like you’re just asking the police to take a closer look inside if you decide to go that route instead of opting for a slightly more subtle vessel for your party supplies.
Last year, we were treated to a cautionary tale when a man and a woman who were pulled over in Portland, Oregon were arrested after a traffic stop led to a search of the vehicle containing the aforementioned bag that—you guessed it—had a bunch of drugs in it.
It turns out that may have been the start of a hot new trend, as Fox35 reports police in Brevard County, Florida executed a traffic stop of their own on January 18th before the driver consented to a search of the car where a 31-year-old woman named Teryn Acri was the passenger.
They also found a bag labeled “Definitely Not A Bag Full Of Drugs” inside that contained some of the methamphetamine, needles, baggies, and other paraphernalia that led to Acri being charged with trafficking and possession just a couple of weeks after she was arrested for similar reasons.

If I had a nickel for every time someone was arrested for having drugs in a bag that says “Definitely Not A Bag Full Of Drugs,” I’d have two nickels—which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.
