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 love how this post tries to use the identification as a reason for fast A&E time but the ends by saying it's not clear what it was 

Because either way it wouldn't be cause for concern 😆. It's not clear to me, which it was one is just even less of an issue than the other, neither requires a hospital stay. OP probably only attended A&E because mumsnet panicked. They were happy letting him sleep off the effects until people started telling her he would die and that he'd ingested crack 😆

Are CBD sweets nicer than the oil? The oil tastes vile apparently not as bad as MDMA though.

Our lab puts random things in his mouth OP, I do empathise.

BenWillbondsPants · 19/07/2019 11:26

So you ingested something that effects cant be quantified, was feeling ill. Not seen by a doctor and then discharged with no lengthy observation, just incase?

Well, obviously not. You're absolutely right and make a fair point, it's not a like for like situation. Not sure the sarcasm is necessary but knock yourself out. There seemed to be some troll hunting going on and I always reckon it's best just to report rather than try to 'catch a poster out'.

@AhhhHereItGoes They taste of aniseed apparently

So is dd grounded?

HeadintheiClouds · 19/07/2019 11:50

Is dh grounded?

DishingOutDone · 19/07/2019 12:01

Why did the OP think we'd be sympathetic, that's what I can't understand. And she wouldn't explain, there was no "Oh well I am the sort of person who gets upset over drugs its an issue to me" etc., so basically she just looked like someone who was rounding up a confused "Hubby" type character with a sock hanging out of his mouth ("He just eats everything!") and then soothing his troubled brow after the nice nurse had said its ok to eat weed sweeties.

I imagine her awaiting her 18 year old at the airport with the police. Its all very odd.

Did a and e not take a blood sample ?

What time is your dad due home ?

notapizzaeater · 19/07/2019 12:46

Bloody autocorrect - dad = DD

LTB

Anyone that steals another person’s sweets is bad enough but when they don’t actually look like sweets.....Grin

Tune in next week when the Op’s husband has a toenail stuck in his teeth after mistaking a bunch of toenail clippings for pork scratching a!

Theres never a need for sarcasm doesnt mean people use it.

People shouldnt be troll hunting. That doesnt mean you have believe the Op. Mire than likely she feels a bit of a tit and saying they got medical advice so she doesnt have loads of people telling uf he was I'll and ingested something unknown. He needs a doctor.

Not sure how trying to prove the OP is definitely telling the truth, by comparing different events helps though either.

ohcanada · 19/07/2019 12:49

Don't worry OP your husband will be fine.. or should I say 'totally groovy man'

koolaider · 19/07/2019 12:51

I hope OP comes back. I'd like to know her DH is ok.

EnidButton · 19/07/2019 13:01

Her DH is fine and making his way through a 6 pack of wotsits whilst browsing Just Eat.

'Rounding up a confused hubby type character with a sock hanging out of his mouth, he eats everything. '

Too much 😂😂

Beautiful thread, just glorious.

Knittedjimmychoos · 19/07/2019 13:41

On a more sober note its perfectly reasonable that ops dh, feeling better arriving at a and e, stats read, would be as an adult sent home.

My dd swolled strong painkiller and after a few hours we were allowed to go home, she looked and showed signs ok, we would have been obliged to stay longer but they said it was fine to leave.

Why would a and e keep him in.

I'm also ruining it's not weed laced tablets that's daughters line

@missmouse101 hi op! Hope hubby is feeling better?

My parents found solid ( a form of weed ) once in my wardrobe I must have been the same age ... I tried it once or twice as was feeling anxious and highly Strung with a levels ... all
I can say was the reason they found it was I was not a habitual drug user because if I was I would have taken it all.

I don’t know how solid ( prob one of the weakest forms of weed you could get back then ) compares to the weed sweets but try to keep it in prospective it’s not the harder stuff thankfully

I was made to flush mine down the toilet ( no complaint wasn’t addicted and had no intention of getting any more ) but wasn’t made aware of legal Issues I may have faced if caught ... be my dad the police officer wasn’t that worried that I was a addict ( prob knew the signs ) my mum went ballistic and didn’t let it go for a long time ( upto that point I was the a typically goody too Shoes worked / studied / fund raised / ran the school library / head of the school buddy system for kids with learning difficulties)

But their disappointment was enough ... check she isn’t taking it for other reasons though as I never discussed the anxiety and it really spiralled at university to the point I would nearly pass out just walking into class ... I quit uni in the end as my parents had the conception that seeking medical assistance would hinder job prospects and turning to weed was not a consideration.

I have learnt to cope with it over the years drug and medical help free but it really has had a negative impact on my life and by not seeking help my career is completely different to what it potentially could have been.

Christ on a bike, why not wrong every drop of humour out of what was a very worrying situation. He was driving her car and needed something from the glovebox. Saw the paperbag, thought they were sweets. It's a thing, you know. As soon as he explained what happened, I went out and got the bag to take a photo for the quickest way I could this think of to identify them. Then rang daughter, and rang 111 who said go to A+E. H almost didn't as effects slightly receding. Decided to anyway, took stuff with him. Yes was triaged straight away and happy for him to go home to sleep it off.

Daughter picked up from airport-talking to us both tonight about this. As a caring parent, I am horrified and disgusted that she has taken drugs, no matter what age she she is. She lives at home, we support her, and this has been a total shock. Can we bring it to a close now? It's not particularly funny and I was grateful for people's helpful comments early on.

LoseLooseLucy · 19/07/2019 14:16

Not so worrying though that you didn't just ask your daughter first.

Mumsnet is an odd place to ask, first and foremost, in a potentially dangerous situation, no?
