Can anyone identify this… could it be illegal?

OP, I think the concern is that you're going through your son's pockets! That's just not acceptable, so expect him to be angry if you challenge him.

Evening Primrose Oil
High strength garlic oil
Cod Liver Oil
Glucosamine

He was possibly conned by a dealer

Especially over a capsule the op can not be that naive her son will think she's stupid. She will make herself look very silly.

This is a cod liver oil / fish oil nutritional supplement capsule. Entirely harmless.

Menopausecrazy · 20/07/2023 10:01

Update…. Apparently they are cod liver oil. His mate gave one to him when he stayed the night at his. He is 16 and I still do his washing!

Watch this space she will come back and say it is something and treat us like we are stupid. Watch👀

HairyKitty · 20/07/2023 10:03

OP so crack it open and see if it’s cod liver oil. Good if it is.

Can you take it then report back in an hour and let us know if you're as high as a kite?!

Does look like a vitamin but I'd just ask him.

Ducksinthebath · 20/07/2023 10:04

What a wild lifestyle today's teens have. 😂

Sigmama · 20/07/2023 10:07

Hopefully he sees it as a sign to start doing his own washing

DontbesuchanarseGlenda · 20/07/2023 10:09

This is reminding me of a similar thread a few years back regarding a tablet. I think the consensus that time was lick it!
Not much help with a capsule though 😂

Owl55 · 20/07/2023 10:14

Suppository?

GoodChat · 20/07/2023 10:15

Owl55 · 20/07/2023 10:14

Suppository?

Would you shove that up your bum!

notforonesecond · 20/07/2023 10:17

This reminds me of that post the other year where the OP thought her son was on E or something and it turned out to be an old Smint 🤣

Titchyfeep · 20/07/2023 10:18

Take it and see what happens

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.

It was the 1980s. Nancy Reagan was urging us to Just Say No. I was a straight A student, didn't go out much, very well behaved, didn't have many friends. I think my mum was just desperately hoping I'd do something interesting for once.

nopuppiesallowed · 20/07/2023 10:19

Wait til he wakes up and tell him you've just found a cod liver oil capsule in his pocket and have swallowed it as you've run out of yours. His response will tell you all you need to know....

OMG that reminds me of my mum reading one of those and the things to look out for:

Mood swings
Spots
various other things lots of teens get.

CherryCokeFanatic · 20/07/2023 10:24

Maybe if you burn cod liver oil it gives you a high

Sugar pills from their contraceptive packet, what?

I believe they are the 'blank' pills that you take on your 'week off' from the pill to have your period. They are designed so that you continue to take a pill each day to prevent confusion.

I remember that, "I can't lick it I've just eaten coriander hummus"

aflix · 20/07/2023 10:44

Never mind the capsule, the weed smoking would be my main concern.

That's how it started with my 'D'S, the thin end of the wedge OP.

@BabylonianChild

I was a nurse back in the 80s and temazepam was given out as night sleeping tablets back then. The OP's tablet is much longer in shape. Temazepam was like a rugby ball shape.
