Controlling people through fear.
Just like nobody’s putting free drugs in Halloween candy, or passing them out at schools, or any of the other stories that are really just horrible business strategies.
Oh. Here’s another fun fact, you can NOT get high, sick or killed by just touching fentanyl.
just touching fentanyl
But you can watch a cop fake a seizure from being within 500 yards of it and lol at their dumb asses
Nobody actually laces pot. It would be incredibly fucking obvious since it’s a green plant. You lace cocaine or other non-descript white powdery drugs with other white powders to “water down” the product and artificially make the bag weigh, and thus cost, more to rip off customers. But some white powders are toxic.
Pot gets sprayed with hairspray to weigh it down and resin can have plastic added to it to weigh it down.
It doesn’t happen with pot really.
It does happen with opioids like heroin. Why?
Because fentanyl is much more potent. You can smuggle a fraction of the volume for the same amount of sales. So it’s easier to move.The problem comes from the fact that since it’s so potent, if your measurements are off by only a few micrograms, people die. Most garage laboratories have trouble with that level of precision.
Never encountered fake pot until Covid.
For some reason the increase in demand meant that the streets became filled with synthetic cannabinoid sprayed weed, pesticide sprayed weed and other adulterated products.
It definitely happened before, but it happens much more frequently now than it ever had in the past.
It happens for one reason and one reason only: to make more money. Whether thats to increase the grow weigh, the intensity of the high, the ability to spray it with synthetics after washing it for the real THC or the cheapness of spraying the plants with pesticides for bugs: all of it is to make more money without caring about the consumer.
Legalise it, regulate it, health and safety it.
It’s definitely rare but it is not unheard of for disreputable dealers to spray cannabis or fake cannabis with synthetic cannabinoids to fake the quality or increase the strength.
Do they?
No, you might get a cut version, but almost never laced.
