Is the practice of lacing weed with other drugs a uniquely American phenomenon?

I know its common in the States to lace with PCP. Do they lace with PCP in the UK or do they use other stuff?

Can't say I've ever come across it... actually wait... there was a warning about weed being 'laced' with glass beads... :confused:

I think that's more like meat producers pumping water into meat to make it look like there's more than there actually is rather than to get people hooked.

Thats the correct motorcycle.

Truth of the matter is that I'm trying to sort out some events that happened over the summer. A friend of mine and expert in the fieldo f being stoned says it was just particularly potent weed, but another person who also happens to be well-versed in the ways of being stoned says it was definitely laced.

Grow your own, I say. That way you'll be both safe and moral.

Yet ironically, much less legal.

Utter nonsense.

Most stories of 'laced' weed are scare tactics, plain and simple. It doesn't make economic sense to lace weed with a more expensive drug.

Agreed, never come across that even tangentially. Only in early Helen Hunt movies (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082019/)...

Helen Hunt movies?

And yeah, I've never heard of anyone whose encountered that. And I know plenty of pot smokers. Stoners are many things, but they don't easily confuse PCP with marijuana.

Well, the line is that evil drug dealers lace pot with PCP in order to make it addicting, hence getting a repeat customer that way.

But really, getting someone hooked on PCP wouldn't work unless you ALWAYS laced their pot with PCP... otherwise, once you sold them non-laced pot, they wouldn't have gotten their fix. And yes, PCP is more expensive, so that wouldn't make good economic sense. Nonsense.

Lacing with stronger drugs is crazy but there is a type of hash called sputnik that is laced with opium if memory serves.

The story regarding the glass beads is true...*ahem*

Sorry, I f'd up. Link is in there now. Though it's too bad you don't know that After School Special gem...

And won't go back to a guy who would do something like that.

Agreed.

(sorry, I only really wanted to respond to the first part, but felt like I should the rest, too...

Basically, I'm trying to figure out what went into me one time in the UK over summer. I've smoked weed and I've sampled hallucinogens, and I can tell the difference.

I did get quite high, after only a few tokes. I hallucinated a little more than usual (Before then, I never had any hallucinations from pot), and there were some other symptoms, so 'm just trying to figure out if I was smoking a particularly potent blend of pot or if it had something else in it.

I find I'm not really affected by pot, even though I smoke it very infrequently. I did try some weed this once and I was affected. Guy said it was called skunk.

i've bought a lot of weed from different places in the UK from different kinds of people (chavs, hippies, growers, proper dealers, etc) and i know resin gets lots of shit put in it, but green? not so much. i've heard about weed laced with acid or LSA, or coke, but iirc it was expensive and hard to come by.
i did once have just a few tokes on a j that made me go throw up (after years of toking) but i can't explain it as my friends were fine with it... i guess it just disagreed with me :confused:

of course, british smokers, like our european counterparts, roll joints with both weed and tobacco though :)

I've smoked Js rolled with tobacco and those never gave me a problem. I've tried PiHKALs rolled with tobacco (and I did a little pot afterwards), and although I didn't really return to Earth for about 16 hours.

This was, mind you, during a flash flood on a train from Salisbury to London, and I met with some, as I was told they were called, "football supporters". I had just finished reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, so in the spirit of that, I bit the apple with complete strangers.

People were different colors and I kept nodding off. I was mostly flying, and I felt like an astronaut and I felt the whole temperature differences and the like, but I also felt not jus enlightened as with pot, but rather transcendental, like when I tried the PiHKALs. I saw the universe, the essence, truth and force that bound us all. Two topics I enjoy are religion and quantum theory, and it felt like I just bridged the gap between the two. I was reading Heart of Darkness at the time, and when I returned to my book, I found that Joseph Conrad really had discovered the unifying equation of the universe and concisely and effectively described a wide variety of topics such as the collective unconscious, the afterlife and everything else. Unforunately, no one else could see past the façade he had constructed to hide his meaning (something about ivory traders).

It was, unfortunately, short, but very sweet. Not as good as the PiHKAL trip, but fun nonetheless.

EDIT: My guess is that it was laced with pcp or some generic downer. I didn't see any patterns, which I hear is the telltale sign of LSD. I would believe opium or a small amount of LSA also, but I do not know what any of these are like.
