''I have been a marijuana smoker for over 40 years and never had any issues with the drug... I took about 5 puffs and put [this joint] out.
Within 5 minutes or so I started feeling very loopy. It became difficult to stand so I was holding on to the tree but soon passed out. Luckily, the [person who shared the joint with me] was able to catch me before I fell all the way to the ground and hit my head on the nearby fireplace or hurt myself another way. He helped me to a chair, and I was in and out of consciousness. Others said that I was very pale w/ blue lips and was having difficulty breathing.
The Fire Department paramedics arrived to check me out and I simply thought I may have smoked too much, or it was just too strong. My vitals were OK, but I was in and out of consciousness for the next hour or so. I then vomited right before going home. After reviewing symptoms online, I wondered if the joint could have been laced with fentanyl or another substance.''

Should the public have access to independent analysis of the products they consume?
The vast majority of analyses of over-the-counter, prescription, and recreational drugs are performed in secret with no independent oversite or review. No other historical record, free from politically-controlled agencies, is currently available in North America nor most other parts of the world.
DrugsData, a project of Erowid Center, needs the support of professionals, students, parents, individuals with means, and small foundations for a total yearly budget of around $120,000 USD. Erowid Center's general budget and the co-pays we require fund most of this cost.
