'Pot Pizza' Puts Grandma And Boy In Hospital

[The Straight Story]

A grandmother has claimed she and her 10-year-old grandson were served pizza laced with marijuana which left them both in hospital.

Ava Farley said she felt a rush, was sweating and her heartbeat was going very fast after eating several slices of a mushroom pizza in a Los Angeles restaurant.

She claimed young Clintay Jones "started cussing, going off, talking crazy, and ran out the door naked".

He said: "I started feeling like dizzy and like crazy."

1. "Her granddaughters both ate the same pizza but were not ill."

"They did not eat mushrooms after taking them off and Ms Farley believes it was the mushrooms that were tainted."

Um, I don't think that was weed.

[laundry_queen]

8. No kidding. Pot tainted mushrooms? Um, no. I'm pretty sure that's NOT it.

Poor pot, taking the blame for the 'shrooms.

[Aerows]

21. Mushrooms aren't pot

It might have had psilocybin mushrooms on it, but that is completely different than pot. Particularly with the "hallucinating" etc.

[phleshdef]

22. Right thats what I'm getting at.

I don't know how you would taint regular mushrooms with weed anyway unless you are rubbing hash oil on them or something.

[Aerows]

24. Even better question

is "Why?" would you do that? Ridiculous story.

[Mosby]

30. it's a weird story

why would anyone do this is a great question but if someone wanted to it would not be that hard.

One can saute lots of things in oil, including mushrooms.

31. It's not that hard to ride a bicycle buck naked downtown

But where is the motive?

[Botany]

2. Where can I get some of that pizza?

"started cussing, going off, talking crazy, and ran out the door naked"

BTW I call b.s. on this story

[KansDem]

13. Yeah, I'd like some too!

But with anchovies, please...

[Botany]

17. Mystery solved

She has filed a police report, has hired a lawyer and said her family
may sue, adding: "I think that it's a threat to the community."

Form the link @ the o.p..

[Bigmack]

3. Not to make light of a scary situation....

...but....

GET THE NAME OF THAT RESTAURANT!!!

"...cussing, going off, talking crazy, and ran out the door naked".

Sounds like some goooooood shit!

[tridim]

4. Of course they blame it on "pot"

Because everyone knows pot makes you "crazy" and "run out the door naked".

100% BS on this story. Not even worth posting IMO.

[rdharma]

29. "Not even worth posting IMO."

I agree.

I'm getting very tired of those who constantly post "man bites dog" BS here on DU!

Some frequent posters seem to "specialize" in that sort of thing.

Not mentioning names.

[TeamPooka]

5. pot doesn't do that.

[In_The_Wind]

6. Total BS!

[hobbit709]

7. If you believe that one I got a bridge for you.

[Feral Child]

9. "started cussing, going off, talking crazy, and ran out the door naked".

Cannabis stops me from acting out like that.

[fredamae]

10. Predictable

As states and feds begin to relax cannabis prohibition laws....as we are seeing now--there will be well timed "horror stories" like this and like the ACA/Obamacare Horror stories--most will be found to be pure bs.

Someone might be getting a big fat check from "somebody" who Wants these types of scare "stories" out there as with the ACA opponents...

[snooper2]

11. ROFL

This pic of her says it all, those eyes saying


"it's the devil weed!"

[pipoman]

12. Reminds me of 'Weekly World News' cover story. .

[Warren DeMontague]

14. Wow, between this and the Walmart LSD-tainted steak problem, all hell is breaking loose!

[KamaAina]

15. Mushroom pizza?

Could it have been laced with, y'know, mushrooms?

[In_The_Wind]

19. That would be my guess.

[cleanhippie]

28. Perhaps, but shrooms, like cannabis, take time for effects to be felt when eaten.

more time than is required to eat a slice or two. 30-45 min before initial onset is common.

[NightWatcher]

16. Fear the Demon Weed.

It's gaining popularity and acceptance. If you are advocating against cannabis, your window of opportunity is closing. You've got to stir terror now or it will be too late.

[frylock]

18. sounds more like PCPizza..

I ordered leeks on my pizza, not leak!

[LadyHawkAZ]

20. It's funny how all these "weed poisoning" stories are suddenly

coming up right behind the reports of Colorado's successes with legalized sales.

I'm sure it's completely coincidental.

[The Straight Story]

33. Indeed. I have been seeing a lot more of them of late from all over

I spend a lot of time rooting around news sources each day (just a hobby I enjoy) and more and more pot stories are coming out.

Wouldn't be surprised if the koch brothers had a hand in it all.

[Aerows]

23. I'm not a fan of pot

because I've tried it a few times and it just cranked anxiety in me. That said, pot doesn't cause hallucinations, and the natural suspect would be psilocybin mushrooms, not marijuana. Somebody isn't telling the truth here.

Be against smoking pot yourself all that you like, but don't blame pot for things it is incapable of being responsible for. Honest arguments are necessary to make a case; dishonest arguments are nothing but propaganda to be dismissed out of hand.

[Politicalboi]

25. Didn't the price set her off

A Marijuana laced pizza would cost about 50 to 60 dollars. IMO this woman is a kook. And she may be facing time in jail for allowing her grandson to smoke weed. LOL! The mushrooms may have had an allergic reaction, but that still doesn't explain the weed in their system. Another case of fraud in the making. She should have thrown a finger on it to cinch it.

[Aerows]

26. According to the story

"The grand daughters had the same amount of pizza and felt no ill affects."

Somebody is full of crap in this story.

[cleanhippie]

27. Complete and utter NONSENSE! Eating cannabis or even psilocybin mushrooms takes TIME for effects

to be felt. At best, 30-45 min before any significant "feeling" would be noticed requiring a trip to the hospital.

[Blue Owl]

32. Man, that is a dank slice

n/t

[DisgustipatedinCA]

34. I'll take two family size pizzas with extra mushrooms, please. nt
