Of course, the news is going to run with this as if it's true, despite this "laced marijuana" apparently reaching no one but this guy and/or only causing him specifically with violent psychosis.

I guess the drug warriors have found their new way to demonize cannabis.

How do you lace a bud of a plant with something in a way that isn't immediately noticeable, anyway?

And who is lacing drugs with more free drugs?

It's almost as stupid as the whole "bad people put drugs into Halloween candy to hook children" myth. Because schoolchildren famously have money and can definitely figure out which house gave them the Baby Meth bar.

You're telling me your dealer doesn't lace your $20 bag of weed with $100 worth of hard drugs?

That distillate and kief certainly aren't free. •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀

Ever see a moon rock? If someone gave me that when I wanted weed, and didn't know it was just more weed I'd be upset.

Imagine not even knowing what the drug you want looks like.

"One marijuana please."

Gets handed a bag of brown powder, a syringe and a spoon

"Whoa this is more complicated than I thought."

Actually I have a story about this. When I was a teenager and had just started getting into pot I was hanging out with friends and someone wanted to get a bag of cocaine to mix into a blunt and spent like 4 hours trying to find a connection before finding someone. The dude who wanted it went to make the deal and comes back with meth. So after calling him an idiot and trying to figure out what to do, they call a dude they know uses meth and offer a trade. Guy comes over, takes the meth and gives us some coke. About an hour later, he comes back all pissed off because it wasn't even meth. It was just a bag of plastic beads, which he only discovered after smoking some. 🤣
