NEW MEXICO. (THECOUNT) — A McDonald’s billboard near the New Mexico-Colorado border was removed after some accused the company of making light of drug use.
The billboard advertises the franchise’s new green-chile breakfast burritos and compares rolling a burrito to rolling a marijuana joint, according to WCPO.
“Usually, when you roll something this good, it’s illegal!” the sign reads. Green chile is a less common slang term for weed.
The sign is located between two states with vastly different marijuana laws. Recreational marijuana is legal in Colorado, but not in New Mexico.
Corporate headquarters wasn’t too impressed with the joke, however.
“This local franchise billboard does not meet our standards and is being taken down,” a McDonald’s representative said in a statement.
