Can anyone identify this… could it be illegal?

You must be really dr*gz naive to think that looks anything remotely close! If it was, there's absolutely no chance he'd be leaving in in his pocket for mum to find haha! Also, is it not time for him to be doing his own washing, more than capable

Looks identical to my dog‘s cod liver oil tablet. If his hair is looking shiner than usual that could explain it 😂

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.

@aflix i am so worried about the weed smoking hence my hyper vigilance. Can I ask how your son is now. I’m going a little bit out of my mind right now..

Looks like one of my omega 3 tablets lols…not sure you’d be dealing that in a pub though..

feemcgee · 20/07/2023 11:26

Could be evening primrose oil, I know someone who swears that they help to avoid a bad hangover.

Fuck off. There are many, many reasons women take the pill and only one of them is to avoid becoming pregnant. It's not stupidity, it supports habit building, which is hugely effective.

ThomasinaLivesHere · 20/07/2023 11:42

The OP has already said it’s cod liver so no need for further guesses.

Looks like fish oil or CBD capsule. It could be something illegal but when there are perfectly legal and plausible explanations it's usually best to start by assuming it's one of them.

Cut into it. If it's fish oil you'll smell it straight away. I've just cut open one of my CBD capsules in the interests of science and furthering knowledge and it smells like a hemp teabag if you've ever used those. A sort of wet undergrowth smell, the sort of thing you might smell when digging out that damp patch of ground between the shed and the fence that never gets any sunlight and is full of woodlice.

That's a rather wonderful description, I know exactly what you mean!

Google reverse image came up with Cod liver oil for humans and dogs.

Soft gel capsules are hard to make without the right equipment and time consuming, making gelatin, fill, filling and drying.

I can’t see anyone making these illegal as it’s too much effort.

bladebladebla1 · 20/07/2023 12:41

It's cbd

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

This is the second "What is this tablet?" post we've had in 2 days. A Pharmacist posted on the last thread saying they won't do because...

  1. It's not always possible.
  2. It would be against Patient confidentiality.
pollymere · 21/07/2023 20:20

I'm glad you found out it was Cod Liver Oil. I used to take it for spots at that age. Fish oil with vitamin D is better though.

Allmyghosts · 21/07/2023 20:32

Unless he is 12 get out of pockets you weirdo.

Viella11 · 21/07/2023 20:41

I'm confused. Why would his mate give him a cod liver oil tablet?

laylababe5 · 21/07/2023 20:50

It looks like a fish oil capsule. Great for your brain!

Missingpop · 21/07/2023 20:57

Looks like an evening primrose capsule to me x

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.

Are you for real. Of course she is. She does his laundry, like most (not all) mums would be doing.

NewName122 · 21/07/2023 22:44

Looks exactly the same as my daily primrose oil capsules

Jadeleigh196 · 22/07/2023 00:20

Your son is 16. Most of us experimented with weed or other drugs at that age. It's totally normal. Not to be a cause for concern unless you know any reasons why he may feel he needs to use drugs as coping mechanism etc. If you have a healthy, trusting relationship with him then try not to worry about it. Trying to suppress normal behaviours in teens usually makes them just do it more!

Why don’t you just ask him?!
