Went to a well reviewed dispensary, think I got laced

[u/[deleted]]

I’ve been on a break from weed for about a week or so now, but I very much know the feeling and how long that feeling lasts and everything about it. So I went to a legal dispensary to try and buy some, which of course they overpriced the ever living shit out of it (probably just cause I’m a tourist) and I went upstairs to smoke the pre roll they gave me. Already immediately I felt a little “too high” but I’ve done worse drugs so I kept my cool. I started to feel super paranoid and anxious like I was on something else about 30 minutes later and about 8 hours later I still felt a super weird body high that didn’t go away and I didn’t have the classic wanting to sleep body high. Just kind of disassociated and tweaking. I figured since I overpaid so much that it must’ve been the real deal and not some weird garbage spiked weed but idk I don’t think I’ll trust any weed source on this island anymore. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a high like that in my life and any joint I’ve had back in the states would last maybe an hour or two at most but with much less severe affects. I’m just wondering how commonly weed here is laced or spiked with anything and if the legal dispensary’s are actually to be trusted.

Marijuana sold at dispensaries is specifically bred to have extremely high levels of THC. If you look at the package you can see what the tested percentage is. It’s called medicine for a reason.

If you took a tolerance break and went right into smoking your usual amount, it’s possible you just smoked too much and greened out.

Tweaking/ greening out is common in people who: are sensitive to THC, are using products with high percentage of THC & low CBD (Google- entourage effect), and ppl who struggle with anxiety. Probably more causes.

Everyone’s body is different and many factors can play into how a substance affects your body.

An anecdote, when I was like 15 my friend at the time and I decided to sneak out and smoke some loud fucking weed in my back yard. We smoked that shit and I instantly became paranoid and tweaked the fuck out.

All the hallmarks of greening out- tracers, the passing of time felt different, hyperventilation, twitching, at one point my tunnel vision got so bad I thought I was dying lol.

My friend was stoned out of her mind but she was fine🤷🏾‍♀️

The reason I greened out was bc I stopped being a bitch and actually inhaled the smoke for the first time. I thought my tolerance was high bc I had been “smoking” for a couple months prior. But no I was barely inhaling the shit.

Anyway I was convinced I was laced or got spice. Naw it was just some gas.

It’s just that I’ve greened out 100 times before with and without tolerance, taken 2000mg of edibles and grown my own super potent ganja and never in my life have I experienced something like that. It kind of felt like the paranoia I would get from using cocaine (not saying it was laced with that) like in the way that I know what other drugs feel like as well, so I feel like there’s no way it’s normal. It could be maybe that the second hand smoke I got in the lounge from the other people was from laced weed, but I feel like that’s a stretch too so really idk.

I hear you. You sound experienced enough to tell.

Maybe examine what’s going on in your life and see if you can’t find an unnoticed or underlying source of anxiety or worry.

[u/[deleted] → u/leaflover777]

No yeah you totally could be right i don’t mean to accuse any shop owners or anything like that, feel bad for that, could fs be an internal thing like you said. Thank you so much though fr you have the perfect insight

[u/leaflover777 → u/[deleted]]

Ain’t no reason to feel bad! It’s a valid concern. You did good by getting curious and asking questions.

Hope you’re feeling better (:

Laced or spiked with what?

How would it serve the dispensary to intentionally lace their joints (with what?) and sell to unsuspecting customers?

Why would they risk losing their license?

I cant help but assume that if it were indeed laced, again I can't imagine with what, that was a one-off and unintentional.

[u/frazbox → u/FarCar55]

People really don’t think before posting. Dude didn’t smoke for a week, and flushed his body of thc. Of course he would high as a kite with his first spliff

[u/Tashiredd → u/FarCar55]

Thanks for asking these common sense questions. Mi want know to. Some people just looking for Boogie Man everywhere. Is it possible since ur in a different country the product just different? Lno man dem spike it! Kiss mi r*ss teet!

[u/reggaerenegade]

It sounds like you greened out.

[u/Cloud9Thirteen]

So you think it’s common practice in Jamaica to lace weed? Why would any business want to deliberately damage their reputation? It sounds like you greened out on some high grade sensi after going on a tbreak.

[u/KriosDaNarwal]

You took a Tbreak then got very high quality sativa. Watch your surroundings and take 1-2 hits then easy next time. Dispensaries down here don't fuck around when big money spend

[u/RuachDelSekai → u/KriosDaNarwal]

This is exactly what I was thinking. Dude got sativa and got completely blazed. Literally explains everything he described lol

[u/Minimum_Night_3617]

Lol ok.

[u/Terrible_Jackfruit37]

🤣 you need to stick highgrade

A lot of good observations on here regarding tolerance break, medical vs. non-medical, etc.

What I have experienced - from Californian weed to Jamaican weed - Jamaican weed hits different.

Last time I visited the Yard, I, too, bought some dispensary weed. Just opening the container made our hotel smell like a growery. I rolled my own joints, only used the weed bought, and still had one of the strongest, longest highs of my life. My fingers would be sticky and green after touching it.

Literally 3 months prior, I smoked in Cali from a Cali dispensary. I bought some pre-rolls which had hash in the flower and the outside was covered in keif. It was a strong high, but nothing compared to what I got in Jamaica.

The soil and environment there definitely has an effect on the potency. I also think there may be ways of curing and cultivating it at harvest that is a lot different. The flower I bought in Cali was definitely for looks. It was dry when broken down. Although it had a ridiculous amount of trichromes all over it, it was not anywhere near as potent in smell, stickiness, or smoke as the Jamaican stuff which, at first glance of the flower, had me disappointed a little until I touched it and smoked it.

I don’t know how else to say it in that than Weed for the States seems bred more for show/flashiness/awe rather than actual potency and medicinal use. Such American.

[u/frazbox → u/NerfHerder_421]

Wait, are you saying you buy dry weed in America?!

Because if that’s the case, of course there is a difference. If you ever smoke weed that’s sticky and let that same bud dry out, it will be worse

[u/NerfHerder_421 → u/frazbox]

Not “dry weed” per se. Just that the quality of “stickiness” is so different. American weed, even the most sticky, is qualitatively dryer than what I experienced with Jamaican weed. It also actively dries out faster.

[u/harrispie]

The people In Jamaica is not using spray, this is not a NY dispensary 😂

[u/AlertTip2078]

What...🙄

[u/AnxietyBoy81]

NO dealer is lacing weed, wtf would they? To get you higher for free?

[u/G00se1927]

Preroll... next time buy a jar. Examine and roll your own. Doubts? Carry jar to friend.. share.... discover your pussyassness. Laugh at self.... Devon house ice-cream from fridge with oreoes ...

[u/MrMisterOfficial]

Where was the dispensary?
