And meth, crack, heroin, and opiate crises.
America isn't a real country, it's just a bunch of drug crises in a trenchcoat
Here's the meme format if anybody wants it:

The font I used for this is Are You Serious off of Google Fonts.
I've learned, not once but twice, don't smoke random weed with loose friends, always get your own weed from your trusted supplier. And whatever you get, make sure it comes as nuggets, not pre-ground nor pre-rolled, unless it comes from a legit trusted distributor.
I dunno what the fuck was in those two random joints my friends passed me, but it seemed like normal weed for about 20 minutes, until I got crazy sick at my stomach and uncontrollable vomiting and diarrhea and passing out for a few hours.
I dunno what it was, might have been fent mixed in, might have been formaldehyde or something else, but I've learned to not smoke just any old random weed, it could be laced with anything..
What makes you think it was the weed and not something you ate over the prior 3 days
Two other friends stumbled across the same shit elsewhere in a bag on the ground without me even around, him and his girlfriend both got equally as sick. They agree that something fucked up is going around in some bags of weed lately, and they agree they're not gonna trust any random weed anymore.
The shit was miserable! Way beyond just any typical stomach bug from bad food, and that's coming from me that's had salmonella before. No, whatever it was, gave a typical weed taste and buzz for about 20 minutes, then everything went downhill from there..
Always get from a trusted supplier, and always get it as nuggets, as pre-ground weed can have potentially anything mixed/laced in it...
