Can anyone identify this… could it be illegal?

Like others say it looks mass produced given it’s a capsule. I imagine that be hard for drug dealers to replicate when they have no need to.

Being serious, and it's been a long time, but that doesn't look like any kind of illegal drug I've ever seen.

Take it to your local chemist and they’ll tell you exactly what it is.

How will they manage to do that?

Lifeomars · 20/07/2023 09:09

Why are you going through his pockets?

Basketballqueen · 20/07/2023 09:09

Not that I have ever seen - are you sure it’s not a supplement?

now would be the time to talk to him, have an open conversation about it, and about drugs.

@Menopausecrazy Doesn’t look like an illegally manufactured drug to me.
Ask your son.

I remember my parents asking me about a tiny tablet they found- nothing more sinister than a cat wormer pill .

I volunteer at a drug project-
That looks like a pharmacy pill like oils as others have said-

You have to talk to him, if he is spending wasting his money on a cod liver oil capsule in the belief that it is something more exciting then he needs to know!

Why wouldn't you just ask ? It looks like cod liver oil.

You haven't got teenagers, have you?

JusthereforXmas · 20/07/2023 09:18

Cod liver oil... I know lots of people that use CBD but they tend to use 'jelly sweets', never seen one like that.

This reminds me of the time my mum asked me if I'd been sniffing glue when in fact I had a really bad cold. I felt absolutely miserable and ill. Having my own mother accuse me of glue sniffing, something I knew was dangerous and stupid, did not make me feel any better.

oakleaffy · 20/07/2023 09:23

@Menopausecrazy People who mention CBD
This is a non psychoactive derivative of legal cannabis that is used as a supplement in pets and people.

Bless him, he's taking care of his health and his omega 3 intake. It's good for his brain, especially if he's got exams.

JudgeRinderonTinder · 20/07/2023 09:28

Omega 3 capsule it looks like to me 🤣🤣

You should have gone down to breakfast with a Pritt Stick up your nostril!
What a strange thing for your mum to have accused you of out of the blue.

Maybe your mum had read a “ What to look for” in glue / butane sniffers in the papers.

Red tops especially used to love posting “ What to look for “ is drug use was suspected.

Clearly a piss take thread after the one the other day !
nice one op !

I'd be surprised if you could get that in a joint. Maybe if you crushed it up?

😁

HoppingPavlova · 20/07/2023 09:38

Looks like a fish oil capsule.

FanFanFanFanYam · 20/07/2023 09:40

Looks like the cod liver oil capsules my grandad used to take. Does he have particularly supple joints?

PhantomUnicorn · 20/07/2023 09:42

how old is your son, and why are you rifling through his pockets?

Antoninus · 20/07/2023 09:43

This is a wind up people !

stayflufft · 20/07/2023 09:44

Talk to your son. It’s no use coming on a forum and playing guess the capsule. If you can’t talk to your son then you have bigger problems than finding this in his pocket.

Fraaahnces · 20/07/2023 09:44

I live near a boy’s catholic school and a girl’s catholic school. Local rumour is that the girls are making a killing selling the sugar pills from their contraceptive packets to the idiot boys who then act as though they are high as kites and keep going back for more. It’s hilarious.

Is this a wind up????

Menopausecrazy · 20/07/2023 09:54

Thanks all. No I’m not a troll. I’ve been on mumsnet 12 years. Son is still asleep after being out until 1:00 this morning! He has been smoking weed recently so this alarmed me when I saw this capsule. I will ask him and update later

Sugar pills from their contraceptive packet, what?
