When will people learn that they aren't going to lace a cheaper drug with a more expensive one. It's like parents thinking people will slip their kids drugs. Drugs are expensive and if there is anything most people like more than drugs it's money....they aren't giving it away for free.

Oh God..... I remember going to Nee York city in high school in '03.
My gram warned me about Pourto Rican drug dealers. She said that they would hide under cars and pop out and blow drugs in your face to addict you......
I have no idea where she got the idea from. I've never heard it before or since.

Bahaha! My partner calls their grandma, Gram, and they are all from PA. She is also a bit of a nut! I friggin love her. Must be a Gram thing.

Lol, I've heard the "gram" thing before. Never realized it was a regional thing until recently.
Kidgen t1_jai0jrn wrote
Honestly I'm not sure if it is but it seems like everyone has a "Gram" here. My favorite part about it is she will smack my partner for biting their nails and I call it a "gram-slam"
ThePopeJones t1_jai0v8p wrote
My gram HATES swearing. She will lay the smack down on anyone dropping an F-bomb in her hearing.

This was the big message in the 80s during "just say no". People supposedly had drugs injected against their will just once and then they were addicted for life.

My grandma said the same thing!! But it was Chinese people in San Francisco blowing opium in your face.

Damn! Did she also have this weird obsession with bees climbing into soda cans? Mine ABSOLUTELY knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that any unattended can of soda had a bee just waiting to sting the inside of your throat.....

No, but I have first hand experience that's led me to always check my sodas for bees. I've had a couple extra spicy root beers lol

I heard that one. Instead of NYC it was Brazil, and the drug was strychnine. The story was they’d blow it in your face, and you’d happily unload your entire house for them.

Fentanyl is cheap, and it's been pretty well documented that it sometimes turns up in other drugs like cocaine and meth. Either intentionally to create a "speedball" type product, or unintentionally because of cross-contamination in the packaging.
That said I certainly agree that the concerns over marijuana are overblown, and there's especially no reason to think that a gray-market item like Delta-8 THC edibles would be either intentionally or unintentionally laced with fentanyl.

I def wouldn't buy from a random place, I bought a delta 8 cart online but got some recommendations first where to get it from. They sent lab test results from the batch inside the packaging. I think it's smart, just covering their own ass and avoiding legal issues.

I mean the facts are that the "legal edibles" in PA are pretty much unregulated and anyone could put anything in that shit. why take a risk with that? all it takes is one asshole on the production/packaging side to put something funky in there and really have you fucked up. maybe not fentanyl but do you really trust these shady gummymakers to not cut costs and put something in there that's not good for you?

Wait till you find out about supplements
raven4747 t1_jai3h4e wrote
true but at least with supplements they are usually produced by actual companies with a documented presence in society. good luck tracking down any of the "legal edible" companies, if they are even registered as such.
tehmlem t1_jai4n68 wrote
That's an incredibly vague standard not supported by the facts. The larger point is that delta 8 is exactly as regulated as similar products but gets outsized attention because drugs bad.
