My husband ate a sweet he found in our daughter's car. He feels extremely disorientated and unwell now. It m ay not be linked at all, but we have suddenly thought could the sweet have actually been a drug? Totally shocked, praying it isn't. Does anyone recognise these? Thanks so much.

I think you’ve been given a really hard time here op

FWIW, my parents would happily eat sweets from my car, we always have bags of sweets in the car for “emergencies” Grin

And to all the posters laughing it off that an 18 year old has “just” weed sweets- yes, I’d be hitting the roof too if my child (and yes they’re still my child even if they’re 18) had illegal items in her possession

Think you’re best off hiding the thread and moving on op. But I hope your husband feels better this morning

Anyway, op the person you should be going mad with is your dh. Who eats something unidentified from someone else's car?

This!

CBD Edibles are definitely a thing!

I too am still snorting at “ you absolute fanny of a woman” (though recognise that the poor Op was actually on her way to A&E).

Why do people have to be suck nit-picking arse holes! My DS broke his wrist last week. We were triaged,x-rayed, plastered and out in 50 minutes!! Does that mean I’m lying? No! It actually happened.

CruellaFeinberg · 19/07/2019 06:58

I think the lesson here, is dont eat stuff when you dont know what it is?????

I was beginning to think it was just me. Still not quite sure what the final verdict on the substance was but 💯 I would be concerned and very upset if my 18 year old had drugs of any kind lying around her car.

I did think it was a funny thread initially (& some responses were hilarious!) but the end is a lot less funny - I can see how OP would be worried & upset. Good luck today OP

Tennesseewhiskey · 19/07/2019 07:00

How many did he eat?

I had a quick Google and you need to eat alot for it to have any effect.

Anyone who just picks something up unidentified and eats it, is an asshat.

I an very doubtful these are weed sweets, or crystalline weed.

I really hope its ginger. And you dd is teaching you lesson about snooping and eating something you have mo idea what it is.

My 8 year old wouldnt eat something he found in a glove box and didn't know what it was before asking.

CodenameVillanelle · 19/07/2019 07:01

That can't be crystalline hash otherwise he'd have been off his tits for hours

Hidingwhoiam · 19/07/2019 07:03

Slightly different to eating something you dont know what it is and its probably a weed sweet and the patient is I'll.

You would be seen by a doctor and kept for a few hours, just incase.

Your son was seen diagnosed and treated.

CodenameVillanelle · 19/07/2019 07:03

Also if they are CBD sweets they aren't illegal and they won't make you high.

winewolfhowls · 19/07/2019 07:07

Love the comment up 'is he Martin from Friday night dinner' 😂
Now imagining the poor guy
half naked shouting shit on it!
Smelling of aniseed
With a glow stick
And a teaspoon
And the munchies
Climbing up the walks in a and e.

But on a serious note I hope he alright

Morgan12 · 19/07/2019 07:09

Shes 18 not 8 ffs.

Patroclus · 19/07/2019 07:13

Yep somebody is talking bollocks

xiona75 · 19/07/2019 07:19

I had to laugh at the op's dh finding something unidentified and putting it in his mouth-I have one like that Hmm
However if he was feeling dizzy and unwell I would definitely have headed to a&e to check him over rather than getting on Mumsnet-that coupled with the reluctance to phone her daughter to find out what the "sweets" were are just so bizarre to me.
Alls well that ends well and hopefully you dh will be more careful about putting things in his mouth from now on!

Proteinshakesandovieshat · 19/07/2019 07:19

That article says

Edibles in particular pose a threat to novice users because they deliver larger doses of THC than inhaling, and, once ingested, the user has little choice but to ride it out.

From what I understand, crystalline weed doesnt do this. Which means the dh either ate a fuck ton of it or this is totally unrelated to him being ill.

I am betting, like pp, the daughter is lying to teach her dad a lesson

You actually need it pointing out to you the difference between triaging a child with a broken wrist and an adult who appeared fine in A & E?

BlueSkiesLies · 19/07/2019 07:32

If it tasted like aniseed it isn’t drugs. Recreational drugs taste disgusting.

Hidingwhoiam · 19/07/2019 07:33

Weed sweets (yummy type like in the articles being linked) are very different to what OP has. .

If that's a form of weed, its crystalline. Which is very different to CBD sweets/gummys and has extremely different effects when eaten.

Hidingwhoiam · 19/07/2019 07:34

Oh and theres a huge difference between kids eating them and an adult eating one.

BlueSkiesLies · 19/07/2019 07:34

I did googling. That looks like MDMA and it smells of aniseed

No. No it doesn’t. Mdma tastes nothing like aniseed.

NoisyNeighbour · 19/07/2019 07:35

@winewolfhowls - My main reason for implying it was Martin, was because he is always eating things out of the bin,

I like your thoughts of Martin as well Grin

Nice bit of Squirrel Bear

TheoriginalLEM · 19/07/2019 07:35

And..... it's all about to turn nasty -THAT is classic mumsnet

BlueSkiesLies · 19/07/2019 07:36

If they are weed sweets, they are probably ‘legal’ ones and will do the grand total of fuck all.

Unless she got them from somewhere where they are properly legal like Canada or California. In which case you get absolutely fucking floored by one sweet unless you are a habitual user and there is no mistaking what the fuck is happening to you and actually I need to go and lie down now thank you see you in the morning when this has worn off
