Are you smoking dirty Medical Marijuana?

Many young ladies, in light of the Natalie Holloway tragedy, have learned not to accept an opened drink or consume one that they haven't monitored 100% of the time. The date rape scene of GHB, Rohypnol, and Ketamine – has been explored in depth, but what about smoking dirty? Smoking dirty refers to the practice of mixing substances into Marijuana, either to make for a more potent high, a different delivery system for another drug, or to overpower a female.

The most common mix that I'm familiar with is the Hash/Ganja one. Rolled up in a long coned-shaped joint called a spliff, it packs a whallop. "Dangerous", a cab driver from Ocho Rios, once escorted me to a Stone Love (top Sound System selectors) concert in the heart of the jungle. A huge bamboo fence encapsulated all of the party revelers. Dangerous asked me for five dollars, then got us into the set, even though there was a long line. Once inside he began concocting this outrageous spliff . After two hits off of the finished product (puff-puff-pass) I handed it over to him. Dangerous looked surprised and stated, "what's the matter, don't you like it?" I said yeah, and then he told me, that one was MINE! I was like, "you've got to be kidding me!" Needless to say, the ganja/black hashish and Stone Love production was off the charts. Even though we were in an open air concert, a huge contact cloud from all of the tokers, formed directly over-head. I thought I was gonna flip out by the time my high peaked, and I'm no light-weight smoker. The combo-smoke was extremely potent, and better suited for two to share.

A more serious combo is the "woo" or "primo" joint/blunt. A guy usually crushes up a 10 or 20 dollar rock of crack cocaine, then rolls it into a joint or blunt. One hit and you're normally horny as hell, ready to "freak", or act wild sexually- the obvious intent. You can tell that you've been slipped a "woo" because your lips might catch a freeze or numb up. You may also have to go to the bathroom, as the coke (possibly cut with baby laxative) might have a laxative effect on you. The guy may suggest more, or even have several pre-rolled "primos" on hand as his fake aphrodisiac. If you feel victimized, go to the bathroom and call 9-1-1, you've been set-up.

Finally, yet even more serious, is the "sherm" or "angel dust" – PCP, Phencyclidine. This chemical is an animal anesthetic, and has no legitimate use for humans. It may have a mint like taste, and is generally rolled as a pin-sized joint, as the chemical is extremely potent. You may feel nauseous, catatonic, or even experience an out of body episode. Do the same as quickly as possible, hit the restroom and call 9-1-1. These set-ups are all designed to take advantage of someone sexually, so be careful, and just like drinks, make sure you KNOW what's in that blunt or joint.
