I've never seen, or heard directly from anyone who has seen pot with anything added.

That's the sort of thing that Readers Digest articles would have claimed, back in the day.

yeah, back in the day, they called it "laced with something" other drugs...
if I remember correctly

Yup, check out the 4th paragraph down...that is why I refused to smoke it.

I never understood why dealers would give people more drugs for the same price. That's bad business.

In parts of D.C. you can get a laced cigarette, a dipper, that has PCP, but even then, never heard of folks wasting cannabis.

Marijuana | CESAR
Even by the articles own admission, it is reported infrequently, and often laced by the user.

If you know cannabis, you would know what you were buying.

If cannabis were legal and regulated, you wouldn't have to worry about things being laced at all.

That's a good way to put it! It is extraordinarily rare. Most cannabis users are experienced, and would not touch hard drugs. Laced cannabis would be obvious after the first usage and not tolerated. That dealer would lose a customer.

I'm still amazed that a prohibitionist would use that as one of their arguments, because legalization means product testing to insure purity.

Oh, but before the article you never heard of such a thing, now, it's infrequent....and often laced by the user...back in my day, it was in fact, laced by people selling it....BOOM! Now what?

If you know cannabis, you would know what you were buying.

Oh, like the ingredients in cigs....huh

If you are worried about that, then you better not ever again eat anything approved by the government unless it came from your own garden.

I wish you could hear how silly you sound...

I would trust homegrown over anything Phillip morris put out.

You don't seem to like the fact that the article you posted even says that its infrequent. That doesn't support your claim that it is wide spread. BOOM. Now what?

Is the ATF/DEA in charge of food recalls? Sellers of cannabis are already facing high standard laws, and shops that buy have to have the product meet certain requirements. Things all seem to be going pretty well in states that are taking on the challenges, and helping to set the guidelines for the rest of the nation to follow. Do you not eat food because there might potentially be a recall at some point down the line?

I swear.

It seems to me like the OP should go back to third grade and relearn grammar, spelling, and punctuation before attempting to engage in adult discussions.

Thank you. If you take what you just said, and multiply it by the fact that $996 Million Dollars worth was sold in Colorado in 2015 alone (5.4 Billion Dollars worth nationwide in 2015 alone), and this is only LEGAL sales mind you, then you have to wonder, where are all the illnesses caused by all this lacing? Where are all the "druggies all over the roads"?

Multiply that answer by the fact that cannabis usage has been going on for 50 years, then you REALLY have to start to wonder which is worse: The plant and its effects on humans, or the costly war against it?
