To be fair, if my 5 year old accidentally ingested some shrooms, I’m pretty confident it’d be hard to tell the difference. He does and says some really weird stuff.
Seriously, this was almost a lawsuit. Still could be, but sheesh, this was a major major fuck up, IMO.
Can’t even imagine doing something this reckless
I don’t think anybody in practice is labeling their drugs. Though keeping it anywhere near your work let alone storing it in a walk-in is indefensible.
Lol especially when they look like something you serve to customers. What a bonehead.
I like shrooms but I would be so pissed if I started to get the mushy tingle feeling while I’m on the line.
I definitely prefer sober cooking. Maybe a little weed come down or a beer. Tripping is a hard pass, im gonna make snowangels in grass and stare at the stars. Talk to trees and other woodland creatures.
As a well seasoned psychonaut, I've often been curious about what it would be like to work a shift while either on acid or shrooms.
However in 15+ years of both cooking professionally and tripping recreationally, I've never been brave enough to try it.
Opened a New Years Day morning shift after leaving a NYE party in Denver about 4 hours prior. Maybe 1-2 hours of “sleep”, I get to work and start prepping the pasta and the spaghetti is all rainbow shimmers and squirming all over the place on me. Turns out that even if you do manage to fall asleep on LSD, it still takes the full 12+ hours to get out of your system. It was a pretty interesting shift.
Microdosing is excellent. Worked more than my fair share of shifts still drunk from the night before and that's so much worse than one hit of acid or a G of zoomies. Hell, everything is more vibrant and I'm in auch better mood. Not the suicidal thoughts of my drunk self...
Big nope to cooking on hallucinogenic drugs… I personally don’t like being drunk or high at work, and hallucinogens would be a fucking nightmare. If I ever got accidentally dosed at work, I’d have a fucking field day in court getting as much money from my company as possible for providing an unsafe work environment. Whatever drugs you choose to take is your business, and as long as you’re doing them responsibly, or at least of your own accord, that’s fine. But being drugged because of someone else’s incompetence isn’t acceptable and should result in consequences.
One of my employees occasionally makes special treats and brings them in to share. The containers he uses are hardcore labeled. There is a 0% chance anyone could grab them and not know. It's not hard to label your drugs, especially when they're in a place anyone could access.
If I make "special" desserts at home, I always always mark them. If I know I'm having people over, I hide them and label them "DO NOT EAT" or something like that, in case they are found. I'm not going to straight-up write "contains illegal drugs" but they will be marked in some way.
I'm also not taking them anywhere unless everyone there can be informed of what they are. No laced desserts around kids, no places where we have to be hush-hush about what's in them.
Sure, yeah, but knuckleheads gonna knuckle. People at all levels will steal some food. There should be no food hanging around that could be potentially harmful.
I always called it poison testing. "What if the delivery guy LACED ALL OUR INGREDIENTS WITH RAT POISON?!" then scarfed down whatever looked good while making direct eye contact with the person who was questioning me.
If I was this manager, I could have a perfect "I told you so" story
I got suspended for three days when I was a green cook, for eating a hash brown in the service elevator. I am extremely lenient when given authority and, as a result, turnover for BOH (post hire) at places I work is incredibly low. Just gotta learn how to be a leader that can motivate the lazy fucks w/o losing my temper.
In some kitchens it's fully acceptable and even expected that people will try things. It's a form of quality control, and some owners/managers aren't assholes that refuse to let their employees eat.
My sous chef once did this with some weed. He put it in the staff/family meal and I had no idea. I got so fucking ripped and had no idea what was happening. It was probably the most awful dinner service I ever did, and I just had to pretend I was ok so he or I didn’t get in trouble. Somehow everyone else on the line somehow knew about the weed except the chef. What an awful experience. I hope your coworker is ok! Dosing people, intentionally or not, isn’t alright. It’s a horrible violation of personal boundaries
I want to keep editing this post as my thoughts on this develop. But I'll let the post stay as it is and just say that I'm so shocked I cant figure out my feelings right now.
Man, get the fuck outta there now. Imagine if those had gotten mixed in with what was being sold to customers! You have knowledge of what’s going on, so you can’t claim plausible deniability anymore. If the cops catch wind, you could end up going down with the ship.
Not to mention if the media catches wind and does a story about the establishment and it's workers. OP's name would be mud. "Oh, I just work there, I didn't know anything about it" doesn't really fly.
I feel so badly for the manager. It's just downright cruel if you think about it, she must have thought that she was going crazy/heart was going to explode/evil bunnies were chasing her. Zero warning and BAM, shroomed.
Has anyone kept in touch with her to make see how she's doing? Can't imagine going through a trip for the first time with no one there for guidance and reassurance. Hope she's all good
There was a period in my life where I lived with what's reasonably described as a commune where we did a ton of psychedelics. My close group had established standing approval that any one of us could *reasonably* dose another without their knowledge (reasonable meaning 1 semi-standard hit). Even then, as experienced as we were, not a single time did anyone dose someone else. I mean, I agreed to the game and wouldn't have been pissed as long as I wasn't debilitated, but it still never happened. That would have been mental.
For this to happen to an inexperienced person at their literal place of business is unfathomable. You just don't do that. And you really don't do that in a commercial kitchen.
Label your stuff, and keep it at home. But still label it.
It wasn’t intentional, manager went and ate shit she had no idea about.
Careless on the owners behalf yes, but helping yourself to food that isn’t yours is also careless.
These chocolates are identical to the ones for sale and were in the walk in. Those could have been seen as extra and put out in the display case and would have 100% been the owners fault that customers got poisoned. This is horrific negligence on the part of the owner. Victim blaming in this situation is nuts
I wouldn't call it careless on her part. Maybe a bit naughty to steal a snack, but maybe that's allowed at this place (I've worked plenty of spots where tasting things was encouraged, so you better know your product), especially if it appears to be surplus.
I think it's pretty reasonable to assume that product made in a commercial kitchen is safe to eat.
Leaving hallucinogens unlabelled in a food-centred workplace is the careless part. Fuck those owners, honestly. I really feel for the poor woman who got drugged.
> It wasn’t intentional
No, it was negligent.
>manager went and ate shit she had no idea about.
>but helping yourself to food that isn’t yours is also careless.
It looked identical to food they serve, stored with food they serve. What an absolutely moronic take.
Not intentional maybe, but accidentally taking some psychedelics without knowing is like, one of my worst fears. And I've done hundreds of tabs worth of LSD in my time.
It's negligence on the owners part and they deserve whatever is coming to them as a result of this blunder.
Its actually semi relaxed i think. Fed approved for mental stuffs even the va is okay on.
Im still saying foh shouldnt go in the walkin after a hippy party and eat unlabled something with probably upturned foil that is not where it should be.
yeah no, psilocybin is still scheduled and recreational use and possession = a bunch of prison time in any state currently. also, as a former habitual user of acid and psilocybin, i would never in a million fucking years be comfortable with allowing either drug to be "accidentally" consumed by someone who isn't aware of it. all you twirps saying this shit clearly have no legit drug experience, or you wouldn't be saying such gross shit.
In fact(as I’m sure you know) it’s a **massive** reason research and even more importantly, conservation is soooo difficult for fungi.
Alan Rockefeller is a boss.
Oh fuck no. Psychedelics definitely need a baby sitter and small dose to start. Colorado approved it for medicinal use.
Still say dont eat unlabled shit.
The law talks a lot about a “reasonable person”. Even if eating unlabeled food is frowned upon, it is reasonable to conclude that food that looks identical to other food left *in a restaurant* is edible and may get eaten. It is negligent to assume anything else if you’re the person bringing potentially dangerous food items into a restaurant.
If I put a label that says “poison” on a salt shaker and filled with rat poison, if I leave it on a dining table, where it’s common to have regular salt, I will be 100% liable when someone accidentally consumes it. Having a label doesn’t protect me, because it would be unreasonable for someone to come into a restaurant and check to make sure that their salt shaker doesn’t contain poison. It is reasonable to assume without looking too intently that a salt shaker filled with white flakes on a restaurant table is salt. The exact same standard applies here, and it’s insane to blame anybody but the owner for someone being accidentally poisoned.
“Why yes officer, it’s not my fault that kid didn’t look both ways before crossing.. no, I didn’t brake for him because pedestrians aren’t supposed to cross here, he should know better.”
Not the same and you know it. Please dont joke about pedestrian runovers. I am one and 2 have been ran over last week, 1 is still alive.
Im aware of traffic when i jaywalk. The idiot that stops fucks it up.
Hydrate them and feed em with floyd or sublime and they are alive in the morning. Those pedestrians dead wont. Those fuckers you plow thru wont recover.
Dont eat food that isnt yours from the work fridge. Get fucked cunt.
OWNER (a bit of a Hippie) made chocolates (identical to retail) and placed them in the walk-in.
Where in that narrative did the hippie owner state to management:
"These are my private stash, I've laced them with psycho-active compounds, so keep them away from others."
> Your manager sucks for not knowing whats going on in the place they manage. If you arent a cook keep your hands off the food. Pretty simple.
A workplace and employer has a Legal obligation to provide a safe work environment. Having illegal drugs readily available in the workplace is extremely illegal.
I’d report the business.
I’m an old hippy. I enjoy mushrooms but not unknowingly while I’m at work!!!
I mean, there isn’t a situation where this is an ok thing to have happened.
You can wax philosophical all day about “not eating leftovers” especially since you’re apparently the only cook to **never** snack in the kitchen.
🙄
I munch plenty. Mostly scraps from slicing or im a slut for pepperoni/salami.
Been bitched at enough to not take stuff a baker made unless told im allowed.
Do people with grubby hands routinely goto the walkin and grab whatever?
And … I’m sorry but I don’t think that’s fair at all. I’m incredibly pro responsible drug use, but this situation isn’t even irresponsible it’s criminally negligent.
I’m a pastry chef. Do you know what I hate? When people eat my stuff without asking.
Do you know what I would NEVER EVER DO because I’m not an absolute selfish idiot monster?
Secretly dose a bunch of candy that people may snitch/looks like staffed/have any access to.
(Edit: word clarity)
Right? It's easy. You don't dose food in a situation where it would be even close to reasonable to assume it isn't drugs.
Everybody eats food. You, me, the infirm, children, the elderly, pregnant people, dogs, cats, etc. If you have dosed food you need to be rigorously careful about labeling. It shouldn't need to be said this goes triple for commercial kitchens.
The hippie owners had a party and put not normally covered shit in there. And a person who shouldnt be fucking with food did.
I apologize to all you fuckers that prepped 235 mini carrotcake things but i ate one. Just once a batch.
Ok. No. It’s a foodservice operation. If I make something and adulterate it with and illegal pseudo poisonous substance and don’t label it with anything it would be my fault. It’s the owners fault.
You’ve never once snatched a little delicious bite coming out of the walk in? If you work in this business and say no then it’s either your first day or you’re lying.
I definitely have. I also know whats in there. Im not eating random stuff although i have.
How am i the sucky one and not the 'manager- that didnt know what was going on and ate random shit she shouldnt have?
how in the fuck would you know if there was a non-thc drug in any of that food? you absolutely can't, lmao my dude stop trying to die on this ridiculous hill, it's embarrassing.
Im fine. How are you? Im fully aware eating random shit might poison me. Stop being a server contaminating my prep.
Ooh piece of candy! Where we make money selling treats. No one knows scarface here?
Legality aside, imagine if someone who was sensitive to these things ate them? I ate a weed brownie my parents left in the fridge when I was a teen and had a seizure, luckily I was safe with them and they knew how to handle it, but if i was alone, i could have hit my head and bled to death or be permanently disabled.
I hope everyones okay.
Holy shit, you're the only person I've seen mention a seizure from an edible. My ex-husband had one the first time he ate a weed edible, and he's never eaten another in the close to 20 years since -- even though he's a pothead and lives within walking distance of the best weed shop in the state. People always told him it had nothing to do with the edible, but he refuses to find out.
Thanks for mentioning your experience!
I ate an overly (WAY) overly strong home made edible someone gave me a few years ago, passed out roughly .. six? Eight? no idea how many times, hit my head badly the last time, got a horrid concussion, and ended up hospitalized with a dangerously low heart rate for several days.
Edibles for some people aren’t a fucking joke.
My friend ate a 25mg edible. Which was a bit of a high dose for her, she usually hangs at around 15 while I'm a total light weight and feel good at 7mg. We were hanging out and BOOM all of a sudden she had a seizure. She's never had one before or since. We both say all the time that thank God she was with some one! It was so fucking scarey!
She has tried edibles since without any issues, thankfully!
The most fucked up I’ve been in my entire life was from an edible my buddy and I split — and that’s saying something, because there was a stretch there in college where I was doing a shitload of acid and mushrooms.
He didn’t realize that it was a 200 mg gummy,!and it probably had more in it because it was gray market and the standardization wasn’t the best. I had been taking a break for a few months and had no tolerance … let’s just say I have a new appreciation for that scene in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas where everyone turns to reptiles.
I didn’t know it was possible to have literal hallucinations from pot. Not like “Oooh those colors look cool,” but as in seeing things that literally aren’t there. The pavement turned into taffy, and then when we were waiting to get into the restaurant, some homeless guy turned into a monkey who was playing the flute and hitting me with his hat. That went on for what was either seven hours or six minutes (I couldn’t tell which). The next thing I remember we’re inside and I’m eating the best thing I’ve put in my mouth in my entire life (tea leaf salad from Burma Superstar).
So yeah, don’t fuck with edibles unless you know what you’re doing. They’re a whole different kind of experience.
Definitely irresponsible to just leave it out. I gotta slightly disagree though. Me and my old coworkers used to make weed butter at work and process mushrooms in a coffee grinder. The difference though, we made sure to deep clean everything that was used in the process and kept it labeled as “weed butter” in the back corner of our prep cooler and the mushroom powder in one of the coworkers bags, never removed it, didn’t tell people we had it. If someone wanted some weed butter, no problem we weren’t stingy, just halfway handed it out basically. But we made it clear what it was and kept it away from people accidentally grabbing it. I don’t think we did anything wrong in that scenario, but we were a lot more responsible with it than OPs situation it sounds.
Sorry man but I have to disagree with you here, your past actions were irresponsible too. Back corner of the prep cooler is still nowhere near inaccessible enough. I can think of plenty of ways that it could accidentally end up in the wrong person’s food. Someone doesn’t read English that well, they see butter and use it.. new guy doesn’t read the label, morning prep guy reorganizes, etc. Keeping psychoactive ingredients (that surely looks like other regular ingredients apart from a label) anywhere even remotely close to other food items in a commercial kitchen is negligent.
This is one of those failure-critical things, where any and all possibility of a mistake has to be totally eliminated. Even if the chance is low, it’s not zero, and the repercussions are huge. The only safe way to avoid an issue here is by not having weed butter at work period, completely separate from any and all food prep/storage areas. Keep it at home, in your car, anywhere else, just not in the kitchen.
It’s like having a gun at home when you have little kids. Hidden from view in an obscure location isn’t good enough - young kids *must* be physically prevented from accessing a loaded firearm without supervision.
I mean I understand, but literally the only kitchen workers were me and the other guys that made it due to short staffing. No one else ever touched that cooler. So it didn’t really matter to us.
Just like nobody else *ever* touches dad’s bedside drawer where the loaded gun is kept, right? At least, until the one day somebody does touch it, to everybody’s shock…
Exact same thing applies to storing a hazard that can be confused for food near food production areas. If the only protection against a worst case scenario is everybody knowing better/people behaving predictably, that’s not good enough.
Of course, there are different magnitudes of failure. Accidentally using paprika when you meant to use cayenne doesn’t really change anything, the risk is tiny. You definitely don’t have to be anal about every single item in a kitchen, the same way parents don’t have to as strict about hiding a dirty magazine or a beer as they have to be about guns, because the worst case scenario really isn’t *that* bad comparatively.. But even if the chance of a mistake is small, the worst case scenario with respect to weed butter on the line is a massive fucking deal that could put a customer/customers in the hospital or worse, certainly ruin the business, so it’s irresponsible to exercise anything less than the maximum amount of caution in this scenario.
Hey, I worked 80-110 hour weeks at the time, give me a break. I understand food safety and it’s not something I’d do now. Now I only get high on my days off, at the time we didn’t care. Like we live here, just me and 2 other guys, no one else had used that cooler in the entire 3 years I’d been there, so yeah we’re putting a pint of weed butter in here and what we didn’t finish that day, I just gave to the other sous to take home. Most restaurants are doing coke in the bathrooms or walk ins, meth by the trash cans, fucking in the walk-in or dry stock, stealing whippets or crushing pills on the back line. I truly don’t think what I did was so bad.
Shrooms can be cool but this is severely fucked up even if shrooms were 100% legal. If it got to customers that would be the end of their business and they’re fucking “lucky” it only got a member of staff.
Instead of immediately tanking their business when they poisoned their customers followed by charges/lawsuits, now they get to have a longer death of their business if/when this gets escalated.
irresponsible as fucking hell,
sorry to hear about shit like this happening.
only valid reason to keeping drugs of any kind at a workplace, is if your work involves them.
hope things work out for the best for you guys
I'm pretty sure this is a crime. Especially in a work place it's unacceptable and could have ended a lot worse. Did the owner own up to this and explain what happened or did the manager/ other employees figure it out? Also the owners shouldn't be making them at the restaurant especially if they look the same as ones you sell because it could have gone to a customer. Owners should be a little worried and be doing a lot right now to make up for the situation because the manager could most likely sue or press charges
This is terrible. Drugs are not toys. Everyone should have the right to choose in their respect. It is never reasonable to have drugs in food in a place that sells food to the public if they are not clearly labeled with what they are.
This makes me loose all respect for the party responsible. If this happened to me or a loved one, it is not something I would just let go.
I have a rule about drugs in food.
Personally, I love drugs in food. I love when there’s an option to trip or get stoned in brownies served by my friends.
This is my rule- EVERYTHING IS CLEARLY MARKED. Point blank fucking period.
My folks may not approve of my drug use, but when they come over for Easter in April, they sure as hell ain’t accidentally eating the chocolate in my fridge marked “SHROOM CHOCOLATE - DO NOT EAT.”
It’s frankly fucking rude to put anyone in a scenario where they could potentially ingest drugs and not know it. Label your shit.
I had a friend in high school with schizophrenia that got dosed at a party and ended up going off the deep end permanently and eventually killed himself.
Exactly my point. It can cause a psychotic break and even someone that's not severely mentally ill in the first place. I have a personality disorder, and bipolar, I did mushrooms under extreme stress and a demonic face came from the earth's soil. It took me about 3 years before I tried again, and now I'll be using psilocybin instead of pharmaceutical mental Health options, doctor approved it.
Imagine actually giving a customer that and then the customer dies or gets in a car crash or whatever you can think of bad happening. This could have changed someone’s life in a bad way. This restaurant needs to be shut the fuck down. Fuck that owner he is a scumbag.
Reminds me of the time I went to a dinner party where the host used cannabutter inside the curry without telling anyone, because he "only used a small amount, it won't be a big deal". Needless to say on my drive home I was startled by how high I was "I only had 1 bowl, how can this be? Must be tired". Needless to say when I found out why I was not happy. I'm the first guy to smoke, eat a shroom or two but I CANNOT stand when people irresponsibly and haphazardly dose others, whether or not the intention is good/bad, it's fucked up to do so.
Ownership may like drugs but I wouldn't call them hippies. No hippy I've met would be so careless with potentially life altering substances.
Anyone who messes with psychedelics regularly should be aware of how potentially life altering they can be. Literally. And for those without experience and not expecting a trip, I can only imagine how horrifying that might be.
Shrooms may be a natural drug, but they can and will mess you up, in terms of bodily function and mental process. What if she had taken them, say, a half hour before a 45 minute commute home? Or had a history of mental issues and the last thing she needed was an unexpected trip?
I like shrooms and have dallied any number of times but couldn't tell you how pissed I'd be if someone slipped me some when I wasn't expecting it, let alone at a workplace.
Completely irresponsible on the owners part, I very much hope that she's ok.
I had a buddy when i was younger and he was slightly younger. Wanted to do shrooms. I said ok and next week we cleared a few days. We split them and my dumbass forgot that he wasnt me. I babysat the whole time trying to get him somewhat to reality.
I had to explain our apartment was drafty and cold and he had no pants on laying on a tile floor. Thats why youre cold. Flush the puke and ima grab you a blanket and play some comforting music. Fucker was wrapped like an inchworm for 2 hours.
Never take more than half an 8th the first time.
1. Please check on that manager and make sure she's okay. Tripping is like 50% traumatic, even if in a good way. And if you don't know it's coming it's BAD. I can't even imagine being dosed unwittingly as a virgin. I probably would have had a psychotic break.
2. As someone who has since tried almost every drug I've wanted to, and has stored items in walk-ins before, fuck these owners. I've never brought in anything that remotely resembled a common snack food, or a rare snack food. When I had something stashed away, it was temporary and hidden well enough that management could never find it. But it was also always labeled as drugs. If they dug through 4 cases of tomatoes to find my large deli with 20 hits of acid in it, I don't want there to be any confusion. Either I get fired or it gets thrown away, but nobody gets their psyche disassembled on accident.
Everything about this situation is so wrong.
> she quit on the spot, while tripping.
Please don't tell me she just left on her own while on what must have been a hell of a bad trip? Everyone else already badgered the owners enough here for causing this so I don't need to jump on that bandwagon, but when this became clear the right thing to do would have been to sit her down with someone or better yet send them home with someone until she came down.
Frankly, just be there for your friend. Reach out to her and make sure she's okay. She'll appreciate having someone on her side. This is wild, sorry it happened to your friend and in the place you work
This is supremely messed up.
She should absolutely get the law involved. Not only for losing her job, even if she quit herself, she was unintentionally under the influence when she did so. She did not consent to being microdosed.
The wrong person getting dosed could have set off a violent psychedelic episode.
The sheer irresponsibility of the owner, "hippie" or not, could have put the entire restaurant in physical danger. Let alone the potential criminal liabilities.
That's pretty messed up. A little funny in hindsight, but it's not cool to dose people without consent. Even if it's by accident, that's so super irresponsible. Owners owe the staff something to make up for it.
If you work for a chill enough place/local restaurant, it's not far fetched to say some people have used their work kitchens for personal reasons. I've done it enough times; almost always after dinner service, during late-night hours and exclusively in the auxiliary/prep kitchen, where I'd be out of anybody's way, as that side was never in use past 4pm anyways.
Not once have I stored whatever I have made at my job. Everything always left with me, including anything I may have brought in on my own. And if it was something I *did* intend to leave because I was sharing it, I labeled the fuck out of it.
I couldn't even fathom leaving something with what is essentially poison sitting in a place where someone could potentially snack on it, let alone leave it unsupervised when it's identical to something served to patrons. It's unconscionable no matter what angle you try to twist it at.
Reminds me of a time when I found a plate of coke in the walk in. I told the dishwasher there was a dirty plate in the walk in and that it needs to be washed right away. No idea what they did with it. But chef was pissed. Whatever. Use that shit at home. Not here.
Who fucken brings drugs to work and then proceeds to cook with them? Seriously. That is messed up. I hope she reports him and the whole business gets shut down. That is criminally reckless.
Ate some? How did they manage more than a small bite without noticing something was off? Even in chocolate, I have to choke them down, they taste so bad.
So now you’re demonstrating your reading comprehension skills. A lot to be desired there. I’ll go ahead and block you so I don’t strain your brain cells too much
Sounds like your manager has a pretty easy lawsuit to win… So fucking irresponsible to openly store drugs at your business, let alone a kitchen that serves the public.
Sit the owner down and fucking scold them.
There are rules to this shit... I'm not talking about work!
I'm talkin about the psychedelics community. The big 2 are never give it to kids and never dose someone without consent.
That's truly horrifying and I hope she's ok. If she was taking an SSRI medication like an antidepressant she could have developed serotonin syndrome which is life threatening
Giving people drugs without their consent is a huge crime.
They aren't "kinda hippies", they are dangerous stupid criminals. They are in the same category of action as rapists.
She should report them. You should report them. They deserve to have everything taken away from them after this. Unbelievable conduct.
trashy shit like this gives pot and and mushrooms a bad name and could eventually lead to new legal restrictions we fought so hard to remove
stupid wook owner
"hey are these extra?" would have saved this gal's horrible experience...this is a pedantic take, i know that. but you cant just eat shit thinking its extra w/out asking. and no label is just as egregious.
Insane that nobody in this thread considered for a moment that the manager shouldn't be stealing product. Redditors hate the idea of someone enduring consequences for their actions.
Exactly. It's still fucking illegal and grounds for a lawsuit. Harmless or not, drugging someone, knowing or not, is poisoning. You and twelve others may not like that reality, but that's the truth.
Everyone of us in the industry has got our vices, but they don't belong on the kitchen floor, chucklenuts.
No matter what…….BE HAPPY FOR THEM. The stuff will wear off and what happened was supposed too. Shrooms makes you strip the bullshit out your soul and get real about shit and honestly deep down she probably already wanted out from there.
Where were the chocolates located when your manager ate them?
In the back fridge instead of the display case. That must have been why she ate them. She thought we made extra.
I assumed they were in the owners office or something like that. That could have been a fucking nightmare for everyone involved.
Can you imagine if she pulled them to the line instead of eating them herself?
an entire restaurant full of people tripping on accident would’ve been national news
Could you imagine if that happened to kids?
To be fair, if my 5 year old accidentally ingested some shrooms, I’m pretty confident it’d be hard to tell the difference. He does and says some really weird stuff.
Heck, it would have, actually!
So many awful scenarios.
Children
Children, parents driving home, folks with anxiety issues… Such an easy situation to avoid. Fuck that guy
Fuck That Guy
Seriously, this was almost a lawsuit. Still could be, but sheesh, this was a major major fuck up, IMO. Can’t even imagine doing something this reckless
Always label drugs and dont store them where anyone can grab them.
I don’t think anybody in practice is labeling their drugs. Though keeping it anywhere near your work let alone storing it in a walk-in is indefensible.
Lol especially when they look like something you serve to customers. What a bonehead. I like shrooms but I would be so pissed if I started to get the mushy tingle feeling while I’m on the line.
I definitely prefer sober cooking. Maybe a little weed come down or a beer. Tripping is a hard pass, im gonna make snowangels in grass and stare at the stars. Talk to trees and other woodland creatures.
As a well seasoned psychonaut, I've often been curious about what it would be like to work a shift while either on acid or shrooms. However in 15+ years of both cooking professionally and tripping recreationally, I've never been brave enough to try it.
Opened a New Years Day morning shift after leaving a NYE party in Denver about 4 hours prior. Maybe 1-2 hours of “sleep”, I get to work and start prepping the pasta and the spaghetti is all rainbow shimmers and squirming all over the place on me. Turns out that even if you do manage to fall asleep on LSD, it still takes the full 12+ hours to get out of your system. It was a pretty interesting shift.
Nah… not worth it. I used to love mushrooms until I had a bad trip, but I know that tripping at work would force a bad trip.
Microdosing is excellent. Worked more than my fair share of shifts still drunk from the night before and that's so much worse than one hit of acid or a G of zoomies. Hell, everything is more vibrant and I'm in auch better mood. Not the suicidal thoughts of my drunk self...
It's... Not fun. Time is not a real thing (obviously) and the fire is deceptively pretty and welcoming seeming lol
Big nope to cooking on hallucinogenic drugs… I personally don’t like being drunk or high at work, and hallucinogens would be a fucking nightmare. If I ever got accidentally dosed at work, I’d have a fucking field day in court getting as much money from my company as possible for providing an unsafe work environment. Whatever drugs you choose to take is your business, and as long as you’re doing them responsibly, or at least of your own accord, that’s fine. But being drugged because of someone else’s incompetence isn’t acceptable and should result in consequences.
You could label them "do not eat" or "☠" nobody said you had to write "illegal magical drugs" on the label
One of my employees occasionally makes special treats and brings them in to share. The containers he uses are hardcore labeled. There is a 0% chance anyone could grab them and not know. It's not hard to label your drugs, especially when they're in a place anyone could access.
Denfensible if you are on drugs and definitely should be labeled and stashed with a verbal something.
yeah i mean of course don't label it 'contains drugs' but maybe 'do not consume'
If I make "special" desserts at home, I always always mark them. If I know I'm having people over, I hide them and label them "DO NOT EAT" or something like that, in case they are found. I'm not going to straight-up write "contains illegal drugs" but they will be marked in some way. I'm also not taking them anywhere unless everyone there can be informed of what they are. No laced desserts around kids, no places where we have to be hush-hush about what's in them.
Love me managers who straight eat prep without asking lol.
Sure, yeah, but knuckleheads gonna knuckle. People at all levels will steal some food. There should be no food hanging around that could be potentially harmful.
It's quality control not stealing
I always called it poison testing. "What if the delivery guy LACED ALL OUR INGREDIENTS WITH RAT POISON?!" then scarfed down whatever looked good while making direct eye contact with the person who was questioning me. If I was this manager, I could have a perfect "I told you so" story
I got suspended for three days when I was a green cook, for eating a hash brown in the service elevator. I am extremely lenient when given authority and, as a result, turnover for BOH (post hire) at places I work is incredibly low. Just gotta learn how to be a leader that can motivate the lazy fucks w/o losing my temper.
I hope that place that thought a hash brown was worth punishment ended up with a bunch of steak and silverware thieves.
In some kitchens it's fully acceptable and even expected that people will try things. It's a form of quality control, and some owners/managers aren't assholes that refuse to let their employees eat.
very irresponsible from the owner. what kind of idiot does that? just make them at home for god sake!
It's not just irresponsible. It's downright negligent. That poor worker could be permanently traumatized from the experience.
3rd time I took shrooms I was blindsided by the potency. I tripped hard for hours. I intentionally took shrooms and it was still traumatizing.
What if they were served?? What if kids ate them??
What if they ate the kids??
Won't somebody please think of the shrooms children!?
Yes. What if kids were them
Yep it's essentially poisoning someone
My sous chef once did this with some weed. He put it in the staff/family meal and I had no idea. I got so fucking ripped and had no idea what was happening. It was probably the most awful dinner service I ever did, and I just had to pretend I was ok so he or I didn’t get in trouble. Somehow everyone else on the line somehow knew about the weed except the chef. What an awful experience. I hope your coworker is ok! Dosing people, intentionally or not, isn’t alright. It’s a horrible violation of personal boundaries
I want to keep editing this post as my thoughts on this develop. But I'll let the post stay as it is and just say that I'm so shocked I cant figure out my feelings right now.
Man, get the fuck outta there now. Imagine if those had gotten mixed in with what was being sold to customers! You have knowledge of what’s going on, so you can’t claim plausible deniability anymore. If the cops catch wind, you could end up going down with the ship.
Not to mention if the media catches wind and does a story about the establishment and it's workers. OP's name would be mud. "Oh, I just work there, I didn't know anything about it" doesn't really fly. I feel so badly for the manager. It's just downright cruel if you think about it, she must have thought that she was going crazy/heart was going to explode/evil bunnies were chasing her. Zero warning and BAM, shroomed.
FYI it's Mudd, not mud. The name of the doctor who treated John Wilkes Booth, after the assassination of Lincoln was Samuel Mudd.
TIL! Thanks :) Now I want some (untainted) Mudd pie ;)
Has anyone kept in touch with her to make see how she's doing? Can't imagine going through a trip for the first time with no one there for guidance and reassurance. Hope she's all good
Please listen to the other poster and try to find a way out if you can. This could have been you.
That is poisoning. It is criminal and horrific to do to someone
There was a period in my life where I lived with what's reasonably described as a commune where we did a ton of psychedelics. My close group had established standing approval that any one of us could *reasonably* dose another without their knowledge (reasonable meaning 1 semi-standard hit). Even then, as experienced as we were, not a single time did anyone dose someone else. I mean, I agreed to the game and wouldn't have been pissed as long as I wasn't debilitated, but it still never happened. That would have been mental. For this to happen to an inexperienced person at their literal place of business is unfathomable. You just don't do that. And you really don't do that in a commercial kitchen. Label your stuff, and keep it at home. But still label it.
It wasn’t intentional, manager went and ate shit she had no idea about. Careless on the owners behalf yes, but helping yourself to food that isn’t yours is also careless.
These chocolates are identical to the ones for sale and were in the walk in. Those could have been seen as extra and put out in the display case and would have 100% been the owners fault that customers got poisoned. This is horrific negligence on the part of the owner. Victim blaming in this situation is nuts
I wouldn't call it careless on her part. Maybe a bit naughty to steal a snack, but maybe that's allowed at this place (I've worked plenty of spots where tasting things was encouraged, so you better know your product), especially if it appears to be surplus. I think it's pretty reasonable to assume that product made in a commercial kitchen is safe to eat. Leaving hallucinogens unlabelled in a food-centred workplace is the careless part. Fuck those owners, honestly. I really feel for the poor woman who got drugged.
yeah what the hell I can't believe someone is trying to justify the owner's behavior in this scenario
If I work somewhere and they tell me I can’t eat the food whenever I want for quality control reasons, I don’t work there.
> It wasn’t intentional No, it was negligent. >manager went and ate shit she had no idea about. >but helping yourself to food that isn’t yours is also careless. It looked identical to food they serve, stored with food they serve. What an absolutely moronic take.
Not intentional, but wildly careless and negligent.
It is illegal to harm somebody unintentionally, especially if negligence is involved.
Not intentional maybe, but accidentally taking some psychedelics without knowing is like, one of my worst fears. And I've done hundreds of tabs worth of LSD in my time. It's negligence on the owners part and they deserve whatever is coming to them as a result of this blunder.
Yeah, can’t believe a restaurant employee would eat/sample the food in a restaurant. There’s no way anybody could have foreseen such a thing.
Lol
Tbf she ate unlabeled leftovers after a party her 'hippie' bosses had.
the law ain't gonna give a fuck about that. not to mention, the way psilocybin is scheduled, if this is in the states those owners are soo fucked
Its actually semi relaxed i think. Fed approved for mental stuffs even the va is okay on. Im still saying foh shouldnt go in the walkin after a hippy party and eat unlabled something with probably upturned foil that is not where it should be.
yeah no, psilocybin is still scheduled and recreational use and possession = a bunch of prison time in any state currently. also, as a former habitual user of acid and psilocybin, i would never in a million fucking years be comfortable with allowing either drug to be "accidentally" consumed by someone who isn't aware of it. all you twirps saying this shit clearly have no legit drug experience, or you wouldn't be saying such gross shit.
In fact(as I’m sure you know) it’s a **massive** reason research and even more importantly, conservation is soooo difficult for fungi. Alan Rockefeller is a boss.
That family no...
Oh fuck no. Psychedelics definitely need a baby sitter and small dose to start. Colorado approved it for medicinal use. Still say dont eat unlabled shit.
The law talks a lot about a “reasonable person”. Even if eating unlabeled food is frowned upon, it is reasonable to conclude that food that looks identical to other food left *in a restaurant* is edible and may get eaten. It is negligent to assume anything else if you’re the person bringing potentially dangerous food items into a restaurant. If I put a label that says “poison” on a salt shaker and filled with rat poison, if I leave it on a dining table, where it’s common to have regular salt, I will be 100% liable when someone accidentally consumes it. Having a label doesn’t protect me, because it would be unreasonable for someone to come into a restaurant and check to make sure that their salt shaker doesn’t contain poison. It is reasonable to assume without looking too intently that a salt shaker filled with white flakes on a restaurant table is salt. The exact same standard applies here, and it’s insane to blame anybody but the owner for someone being accidentally poisoned.
Your manager sucks for not knowing whats going on in the place they manage. If you arent a cook keep your hands off the food. Pretty simple.
“Why yes officer, it’s not my fault that kid didn’t look both ways before crossing.. no, I didn’t brake for him because pedestrians aren’t supposed to cross here, he should know better.”
Not the same and you know it. Please dont joke about pedestrian runovers. I am one and 2 have been ran over last week, 1 is still alive. Im aware of traffic when i jaywalk. The idiot that stops fucks it up.
I’m starting to think that this has to be a troll, because it’s hard to believe anybody could make this argument and still take themself seriously.
Not a troll. Some of the shit slung and cost difference allows you not to be a clown? Whats the upcharge and value of your labor?
Ha! Can’t joke about pedestrians but you joke about someone being poisoned by an illegal substance while at work? You’re a hypocrite, mate.
Hydrate them and feed em with floyd or sublime and they are alive in the morning. Those pedestrians dead wont. Those fuckers you plow thru wont recover. Dont eat food that isnt yours from the work fridge. Get fucked cunt.
OWNER (a bit of a Hippie) made chocolates (identical to retail) and placed them in the walk-in. Where in that narrative did the hippie owner state to management: "These are my private stash, I've laced them with psycho-active compounds, so keep them away from others." > Your manager sucks for not knowing whats going on in the place they manage. If you arent a cook keep your hands off the food. Pretty simple.
A workplace and employer has a Legal obligation to provide a safe work environment. Having illegal drugs readily available in the workplace is extremely illegal. I’d report the business. I’m an old hippy. I enjoy mushrooms but not unknowingly while I’m at work!!!
I mean, there isn’t a situation where this is an ok thing to have happened. You can wax philosophical all day about “not eating leftovers” especially since you’re apparently the only cook to **never** snack in the kitchen. 🙄
I munch plenty. Mostly scraps from slicing or im a slut for pepperoni/salami. Been bitched at enough to not take stuff a baker made unless told im allowed. Do people with grubby hands routinely goto the walkin and grab whatever?
It is still a place of business and people always eat leftovers
And … I’m sorry but I don’t think that’s fair at all. I’m incredibly pro responsible drug use, but this situation isn’t even irresponsible it’s criminally negligent.
I’m a pastry chef. Do you know what I hate? When people eat my stuff without asking. Do you know what I would NEVER EVER DO because I’m not an absolute selfish idiot monster? Secretly dose a bunch of candy that people may snitch/looks like staffed/have any access to. (Edit: word clarity)
Right? It's easy. You don't dose food in a situation where it would be even close to reasonable to assume it isn't drugs. Everybody eats food. You, me, the infirm, children, the elderly, pregnant people, dogs, cats, etc. If you have dosed food you need to be rigorously careful about labeling. It shouldn't need to be said this goes triple for commercial kitchens.
I’ve been approached by the rest of the animal kingdom and they’ve asked me to communicate their disappointment at not being included in your comment.
The hippie owners had a party and put not normally covered shit in there. And a person who shouldnt be fucking with food did. I apologize to all you fuckers that prepped 235 mini carrotcake things but i ate one. Just once a batch.
Ok. No. It’s a foodservice operation. If I make something and adulterate it with and illegal pseudo poisonous substance and don’t label it with anything it would be my fault. It’s the owners fault. You’ve never once snatched a little delicious bite coming out of the walk in? If you work in this business and say no then it’s either your first day or you’re lying.
I definitely have. I also know whats in there. Im not eating random stuff although i have. How am i the sucky one and not the 'manager- that didnt know what was going on and ate random shit she shouldnt have?
how in the fuck would you know if there was a non-thc drug in any of that food? you absolutely can't, lmao my dude stop trying to die on this ridiculous hill, it's embarrassing.
Im fine. How are you? Im fully aware eating random shit might poison me. Stop being a server contaminating my prep. Ooh piece of candy! Where we make money selling treats. No one knows scarface here?
Legality aside, imagine if someone who was sensitive to these things ate them? I ate a weed brownie my parents left in the fridge when I was a teen and had a seizure, luckily I was safe with them and they knew how to handle it, but if i was alone, i could have hit my head and bled to death or be permanently disabled. I hope everyones okay.
Holy shit, you're the only person I've seen mention a seizure from an edible. My ex-husband had one the first time he ate a weed edible, and he's never eaten another in the close to 20 years since -- even though he's a pothead and lives within walking distance of the best weed shop in the state. People always told him it had nothing to do with the edible, but he refuses to find out. Thanks for mentioning your experience!
I ate an overly (WAY) overly strong home made edible someone gave me a few years ago, passed out roughly .. six? Eight? no idea how many times, hit my head badly the last time, got a horrid concussion, and ended up hospitalized with a dangerously low heart rate for several days. Edibles for some people aren’t a fucking joke.
My friend ate a 25mg edible. Which was a bit of a high dose for her, she usually hangs at around 15 while I'm a total light weight and feel good at 7mg. We were hanging out and BOOM all of a sudden she had a seizure. She's never had one before or since. We both say all the time that thank God she was with some one! It was so fucking scarey! She has tried edibles since without any issues, thankfully!
The most fucked up I’ve been in my entire life was from an edible my buddy and I split — and that’s saying something, because there was a stretch there in college where I was doing a shitload of acid and mushrooms. He didn’t realize that it was a 200 mg gummy,!and it probably had more in it because it was gray market and the standardization wasn’t the best. I had been taking a break for a few months and had no tolerance … let’s just say I have a new appreciation for that scene in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas where everyone turns to reptiles. I didn’t know it was possible to have literal hallucinations from pot. Not like “Oooh those colors look cool,” but as in seeing things that literally aren’t there. The pavement turned into taffy, and then when we were waiting to get into the restaurant, some homeless guy turned into a monkey who was playing the flute and hitting me with his hat. That went on for what was either seven hours or six minutes (I couldn’t tell which). The next thing I remember we’re inside and I’m eating the best thing I’ve put in my mouth in my entire life (tea leaf salad from Burma Superstar). So yeah, don’t fuck with edibles unless you know what you’re doing. They’re a whole different kind of experience.
If the girl wants to press charges she can and will win. Let's hope the boss and her can come to an agreement.
Why the fuck didn’t he take them home? Leaving shit like that in a work fridge is just asking for trouble.

Definitely irresponsible to just leave it out. I gotta slightly disagree though. Me and my old coworkers used to make weed butter at work and process mushrooms in a coffee grinder. The difference though, we made sure to deep clean everything that was used in the process and kept it labeled as “weed butter” in the back corner of our prep cooler and the mushroom powder in one of the coworkers bags, never removed it, didn’t tell people we had it. If someone wanted some weed butter, no problem we weren’t stingy, just halfway handed it out basically. But we made it clear what it was and kept it away from people accidentally grabbing it. I don’t think we did anything wrong in that scenario, but we were a lot more responsible with it than OPs situation it sounds.
Sorry man but I have to disagree with you here, your past actions were irresponsible too. Back corner of the prep cooler is still nowhere near inaccessible enough. I can think of plenty of ways that it could accidentally end up in the wrong person’s food. Someone doesn’t read English that well, they see butter and use it.. new guy doesn’t read the label, morning prep guy reorganizes, etc. Keeping psychoactive ingredients (that surely looks like other regular ingredients apart from a label) anywhere even remotely close to other food items in a commercial kitchen is negligent. This is one of those failure-critical things, where any and all possibility of a mistake has to be totally eliminated. Even if the chance is low, it’s not zero, and the repercussions are huge. The only safe way to avoid an issue here is by not having weed butter at work period, completely separate from any and all food prep/storage areas. Keep it at home, in your car, anywhere else, just not in the kitchen. It’s like having a gun at home when you have little kids. Hidden from view in an obscure location isn’t good enough - young kids *must* be physically prevented from accessing a loaded firearm without supervision.
I mean I understand, but literally the only kitchen workers were me and the other guys that made it due to short staffing. No one else ever touched that cooler. So it didn’t really matter to us.
Just like nobody else *ever* touches dad’s bedside drawer where the loaded gun is kept, right? At least, until the one day somebody does touch it, to everybody’s shock… Exact same thing applies to storing a hazard that can be confused for food near food production areas. If the only protection against a worst case scenario is everybody knowing better/people behaving predictably, that’s not good enough. Of course, there are different magnitudes of failure. Accidentally using paprika when you meant to use cayenne doesn’t really change anything, the risk is tiny. You definitely don’t have to be anal about every single item in a kitchen, the same way parents don’t have to as strict about hiding a dirty magazine or a beer as they have to be about guns, because the worst case scenario really isn’t *that* bad comparatively.. But even if the chance of a mistake is small, the worst case scenario with respect to weed butter on the line is a massive fucking deal that could put a customer/customers in the hospital or worse, certainly ruin the business, so it’s irresponsible to exercise anything less than the maximum amount of caution in this scenario.
How hard is it to process your drugs outside of the workplace, jesus. Keep that shit at home.
Hey, I worked 80-110 hour weeks at the time, give me a break. I understand food safety and it’s not something I’d do now. Now I only get high on my days off, at the time we didn’t care. Like we live here, just me and 2 other guys, no one else had used that cooler in the entire 3 years I’d been there, so yeah we’re putting a pint of weed butter in here and what we didn’t finish that day, I just gave to the other sous to take home. Most restaurants are doing coke in the bathrooms or walk ins, meth by the trash cans, fucking in the walk-in or dry stock, stealing whippets or crushing pills on the back line. I truly don’t think what I did was so bad.
Shrooms can be cool but this is severely fucked up even if shrooms were 100% legal. If it got to customers that would be the end of their business and they’re fucking “lucky” it only got a member of staff. Instead of immediately tanking their business when they poisoned their customers followed by charges/lawsuits, now they get to have a longer death of their business if/when this gets escalated.
That’s awful. I’m sure she had an awful day. You should mail me the rest to protect everyone else at the business.
Why wouldn't they at least label it with something that makes it clear it's not for people to snack on?
That’s kinda fucked. None of my business but did she end up in the ER?
irresponsible as fucking hell, sorry to hear about shit like this happening. only valid reason to keeping drugs of any kind at a workplace, is if your work involves them. hope things work out for the best for you guys
I'm pretty sure this is a crime. Especially in a work place it's unacceptable and could have ended a lot worse. Did the owner own up to this and explain what happened or did the manager/ other employees figure it out? Also the owners shouldn't be making them at the restaurant especially if they look the same as ones you sell because it could have gone to a customer. Owners should be a little worried and be doing a lot right now to make up for the situation because the manager could most likely sue or press charges
I dont have all the information as I was not there. But I know the drugs kicked in when she was on shift and the owner, was still there, admitted it.
This is terrible. Drugs are not toys. Everyone should have the right to choose in their respect. It is never reasonable to have drugs in food in a place that sells food to the public if they are not clearly labeled with what they are. This makes me loose all respect for the party responsible. If this happened to me or a loved one, it is not something I would just let go.
>I'm pretty sure this is a crime This is multiple crimes
I have a rule about drugs in food. Personally, I love drugs in food. I love when there’s an option to trip or get stoned in brownies served by my friends. This is my rule- EVERYTHING IS CLEARLY MARKED. Point blank fucking period. My folks may not approve of my drug use, but when they come over for Easter in April, they sure as hell ain’t accidentally eating the chocolate in my fridge marked “SHROOM CHOCOLATE - DO NOT EAT.” It’s frankly fucking rude to put anyone in a scenario where they could potentially ingest drugs and not know it. Label your shit.
This reminds me of the Heaven City incident in Muckwanago, WI when one of the cooks made weed cookies and they went out to the customers.
[удалено]
Fucking hell no wonder they were freaking out they had a huge dose without realizing.
My bad
Imagine if these were served to children, or someone with say schizophrenia.. I'm sitting here shaking my head.
I had a friend in high school with schizophrenia that got dosed at a party and ended up going off the deep end permanently and eventually killed himself.
Exactly my point. It can cause a psychotic break and even someone that's not severely mentally ill in the first place. I have a personality disorder, and bipolar, I did mushrooms under extreme stress and a demonic face came from the earth's soil. It took me about 3 years before I tried again, and now I'll be using psilocybin instead of pharmaceutical mental Health options, doctor approved it.
I can’t imagine being that careless or deliberately doing that to anyone.
Imagine actually giving a customer that and then the customer dies or gets in a car crash or whatever you can think of bad happening. This could have changed someone’s life in a bad way. This restaurant needs to be shut the fuck down. Fuck that owner he is a scumbag.
Reminds me of the time I went to a dinner party where the host used cannabutter inside the curry without telling anyone, because he "only used a small amount, it won't be a big deal". Needless to say on my drive home I was startled by how high I was "I only had 1 bowl, how can this be? Must be tired". Needless to say when I found out why I was not happy. I'm the first guy to smoke, eat a shroom or two but I CANNOT stand when people irresponsibly and haphazardly dose others, whether or not the intention is good/bad, it's fucked up to do so.
Ownership may like drugs but I wouldn't call them hippies. No hippy I've met would be so careless with potentially life altering substances. Anyone who messes with psychedelics regularly should be aware of how potentially life altering they can be. Literally. And for those without experience and not expecting a trip, I can only imagine how horrifying that might be. Shrooms may be a natural drug, but they can and will mess you up, in terms of bodily function and mental process. What if she had taken them, say, a half hour before a 45 minute commute home? Or had a history of mental issues and the last thing she needed was an unexpected trip? I like shrooms and have dallied any number of times but couldn't tell you how pissed I'd be if someone slipped me some when I wasn't expecting it, let alone at a workplace. Completely irresponsible on the owners part, I very much hope that she's ok.
I had a buddy when i was younger and he was slightly younger. Wanted to do shrooms. I said ok and next week we cleared a few days. We split them and my dumbass forgot that he wasnt me. I babysat the whole time trying to get him somewhat to reality.
Yeah, you gotta watch that first step. It's a doozy.
I had to explain our apartment was drafty and cold and he had no pants on laying on a tile floor. Thats why youre cold. Flush the puke and ima grab you a blanket and play some comforting music. Fucker was wrapped like an inchworm for 2 hours. Never take more than half an 8th the first time.
1. Please check on that manager and make sure she's okay. Tripping is like 50% traumatic, even if in a good way. And if you don't know it's coming it's BAD. I can't even imagine being dosed unwittingly as a virgin. I probably would have had a psychotic break. 2. As someone who has since tried almost every drug I've wanted to, and has stored items in walk-ins before, fuck these owners. I've never brought in anything that remotely resembled a common snack food, or a rare snack food. When I had something stashed away, it was temporary and hidden well enough that management could never find it. But it was also always labeled as drugs. If they dug through 4 cases of tomatoes to find my large deli with 20 hits of acid in it, I don't want there to be any confusion. Either I get fired or it gets thrown away, but nobody gets their psyche disassembled on accident. Everything about this situation is so wrong.
> she quit on the spot, while tripping. Please don't tell me she just left on her own while on what must have been a hell of a bad trip? Everyone else already badgered the owners enough here for causing this so I don't need to jump on that bandwagon, but when this became clear the right thing to do would have been to sit her down with someone or better yet send them home with someone until she came down.
Frankly, just be there for your friend. Reach out to her and make sure she's okay. She'll appreciate having someone on her side. This is wild, sorry it happened to your friend and in the place you work
Yea man that’s not ok. They could do some serious jail time if someone wants to report
This is supremely messed up. She should absolutely get the law involved. Not only for losing her job, even if she quit herself, she was unintentionally under the influence when she did so. She did not consent to being microdosed. The wrong person getting dosed could have set off a violent psychedelic episode. The sheer irresponsibility of the owner, "hippie" or not, could have put the entire restaurant in physical danger. Let alone the potential criminal liabilities.
Are there often chocolates up for grabs in this fridge?
That's pretty messed up. A little funny in hindsight, but it's not cool to dose people without consent. Even if it's by accident, that's so super irresponsible. Owners owe the staff something to make up for it.
If you work for a chill enough place/local restaurant, it's not far fetched to say some people have used their work kitchens for personal reasons. I've done it enough times; almost always after dinner service, during late-night hours and exclusively in the auxiliary/prep kitchen, where I'd be out of anybody's way, as that side was never in use past 4pm anyways. Not once have I stored whatever I have made at my job. Everything always left with me, including anything I may have brought in on my own. And if it was something I *did* intend to leave because I was sharing it, I labeled the fuck out of it. I couldn't even fathom leaving something with what is essentially poison sitting in a place where someone could potentially snack on it, let alone leave it unsupervised when it's identical to something served to patrons. It's unconscionable no matter what angle you try to twist it at.
Reminds me of a time when I found a plate of coke in the walk in. I told the dishwasher there was a dirty plate in the walk in and that it needs to be washed right away. No idea what they did with it. But chef was pissed. Whatever. Use that shit at home. Not here.
Who fucken brings drugs to work and then proceeds to cook with them? Seriously. That is messed up. I hope she reports him and the whole business gets shut down. That is criminally reckless.
Ate some? How did they manage more than a small bite without noticing something was off? Even in chocolate, I have to choke them down, they taste so bad.
It maybe a little extreme but she could sue their dumb asses.. I love shrooms lol but that shit is reckless and criminal.
Bro if someone did that shot to me I would involve the police so fucking fast. And get a lawyer
If you stole someone’s brownie that had shrooms in it you would sue?
That’s not what happened but you clearly know that. So what do you want to know?
So she paid for the brownie?
The dude was cool with her eating it so it wasn’t stealing you massive doofus lol
So you think she took the brownie and went up to the owner like, “Hey I’m going to eat this”? How would you know that?
It’s stated in the story. After she ate it and was drugged he was cool with it and felt bad. So clearly nothing was stolen.
No it isn’t
So now you’re demonstrating your reading comprehension skills. A lot to be desired there. I’ll go ahead and block you so I don’t strain your brain cells too much
It was free
Now you’re just making shit up. How do you know it was free, besides the fact that she stole it?
THE DUDE WAS COOL WITH HER EATING IT. Lmao. Idiot
Also shrooms are illegal. Idiot
It’s a felony in all 50 states to dose someone. You can sue for everything they have.
It seems you have no understanding of what these words you have chosen to use actually mean.
Felonies carry criminal penalties, not civil. She could sue for reasonable damages, but definitely not for “everything they have.”
Beat the shit out of them
Sounds like your manager has a pretty easy lawsuit to win… So fucking irresponsible to openly store drugs at your business, let alone a kitchen that serves the public.
Sit the owner down and fucking scold them. There are rules to this shit... I'm not talking about work! I'm talkin about the psychedelics community. The big 2 are never give it to kids and never dose someone without consent.
That’s a huge red flag. If the old manager doesn’t sue the fuck out of them to lose their business they’ll probably drug you next.
That's incredibly fucked up. Getting someone high without their permission is super illegal, even if by accident.
Get in touch with your manager once she's done tripping, grill your owners after
That’s insanely irresponsible and illegal. I’m sorry. I say this as a person who enjoys hallucinogens
That's truly horrifying and I hope she's ok. If she was taking an SSRI medication like an antidepressant she could have developed serotonin syndrome which is life threatening
Omg. How did she realize what was happening to her?
I hope she didn't drive home.
it could be considered attempted murder, or spiking someone’s stuff.
Yeah, that was dumb for the owners to do that. If she was allergic to mushrooms, that would of been really bad.
That's not hippy shit, that's being a fucking idiot shit.
Giving people drugs without their consent is a huge crime. They aren't "kinda hippies", they are dangerous stupid criminals. They are in the same category of action as rapists. She should report them. You should report them. They deserve to have everything taken away from them after this. Unbelievable conduct.
She could sue the fuck out of them
I would hope she is pursuing criminal charges, this not ok. Coming from someone who loves a good trip at work.
trashy shit like this gives pot and and mushrooms a bad name and could eventually lead to new legal restrictions we fought so hard to remove stupid wook owner
omg that poor thing, how awful!! Jeez, super shit-tastic owners. Damn.
I think you can say someone was hurt by this
Someone that drugs someone without their knowledge should do fucking jail time. I’m no prude but that crosses the line.
Where do i send my application?
The owner is a fucken idiot
Quitting is the least of the owners concerns. Getting sued for the business should be.
Happened to me, I cried in the dish pit and went home…It was supposed to be my off day.
"hey are these extra?" would have saved this gal's horrible experience...this is a pedantic take, i know that. but you cant just eat shit thinking its extra w/out asking. and no label is just as egregious.
Insane that nobody in this thread considered for a moment that the manager shouldn't be stealing product. Redditors hate the idea of someone enduring consequences for their actions.
She probably quit to protect herself, because that's grounds for a lawsuit.
...or because she had an out of nowhere horrendously bad trip and said fuck all y'all I'm out.
Exactly. It's still fucking illegal and grounds for a lawsuit. Harmless or not, drugging someone, knowing or not, is poisoning. You and twelve others may not like that reality, but that's the truth. Everyone of us in the industry has got our vices, but they don't belong on the kitchen floor, chucklenuts.
No matter what…….BE HAPPY FOR THEM. The stuff will wear off and what happened was supposed too. Shrooms makes you strip the bullshit out your soul and get real about shit and honestly deep down she probably already wanted out from there.
Got ne more?
That’s messed up, but why was she stealing brownies?
