Hahahaha! Your title cracked me up because that sounds like someting I would do!
They don't look bad. They will have a completely different look when you get the trunks.
I don't know if this would help, but what about adding another layer of leaves in between the ones you have.
Okay, I think you're right...they DO! (Especially on all that tin-foil! )
I think you've made the branches stick out too evenly, like a starfish. A palm tree's branches would naturally fall to one side or the other, like the part in your hair. Just avoid them pointing upwards and instead push them to the sides more:
Wow! You could get arrested for possession with those !!! I got a kick out of your title! I have only made them out of fondant,but maybe if you add a few more leaves to each one and try to get away from the star shape. I bet they will look great when you finish.
I really had a good laugh at the title!! I think that if you don't want to do em over, I would add more of the leaves as a couple people said. Otherwise, if you are gonna try again, Joby1's idea of making it more ruffled would help too=) But I really think it would help just to add more leaves, Jen
No, your palm trees do not look like marijuana. Your fronds grow symmetrically from the center, like an umbrella.
Marijuana leaves all grow from the stem base, more like a ping pong paddle than an umbrella.
Don't ask, cuz I won't tell.

are you sure you're holding the tip the right way. The 352 tip is actually held with the points going up and down. Opposite of the way I first thought it got held. Try rotating your tip 1/4 turn and see what the leaves look like.
Funny title!
Good luck! They will probably look fine with a few coconuts and a trunk.
Ok now... My question to you is... How do YOU know what marijuana looks like??? 
I dunno what to tell you, but the title made me laugh really hard!
Thanks!
Now THAT'S a great post title! LOL! Actually, they'll look fine with the trunk and maybe another row of leaves, but for future reference, I agree that your spacing is too starlike.
Thanks for the giggle!
I have to admit that the title was funny!!! But it's a good thing you weren't concerned that your Marijuana looked like Palm Trees!!!! LOL
Hahaha! This thread made my day! I agree that maybe adding some shorter branches in between the long ones would help. Either way, I think most people wouldnt comment on them with the coconuts and the tree trunk.
You could always use a toothpick when the frosting is wet and add "slits" in the leaves. leave the center line and off both sides just brush the toothpick to almost make it look like a comb?
I stare at the things all day long, but I haven't made them to the exact either.
There aren't supposed to be any coconuts! And the tree itself is just a pretzel.
I'll try ruffling the leaves tonight, but i think it will still look weird.
This is what they're SUPPOSED to look like. 
Mine don't look like that.
BTW - i'm just judging from pictures! Never seen any in real life! 
AHHHH!! To make leaves that look like that you use a petal tip and do it the way you make violet leaves, just make them longer... and dry each leaf individually on the back side of a flower former!
Edited to add: I am sure someone else may have an easier way though!
It looks to me that yours are too narrow. Try fattening them up a little and that might make them look a little like palm leaves. After all we don't want those little ones getting the munchies! Good Luck and if all fails just eat a few and sit back and enjoy!
