<p>Thank you for at least looking at what I posted, which in this case was three quick hits from Google. </p>
<p>Since then I have found more, such as a news story from '06 involving Hell’s Angels gang members selling meth laced pot. I also found a story about a bunch of people in Germany poisoned with lead-tainted pot, and kids getting caught smoking heroin laced cigarettes at school.</p>
<p>There are so many slang words for pot mixed with other drugs. Kids are smoking weed mixed with all sorts of things, particularly when the weed is low quality. They are not always doing it on purpose.</p>
<p>Let’s put aside the examples that I mentioned. What if the notion of marijuana being mixed with hard drugs was 100% urban myth (which it isn’t), sold by addiction professionals and the government to nervous parents like me? It wouldn’t change the fact that the only way you can KNOW what you are smoking when you buy illegal pot is to study it in a lab or grow it yourself. That is the BIG PICTURE. </p>
<p>I’d like to encourage kids not to smoke pot. There is ample evidence that it is not good for them. </p>
<p>By the way, I also meet with law enforcement, treatment providers who are often psychiatrists, and researchers (as often as once a month). I find that the people who work with addicts every day, the folks in the trenches so to speak, to be the most knowledgeable about who is using what.</p>
