Going off topic a bit, but another story from back in the day regarding metal in the body.

There is an old legend regarding royalty having "Blue Blood". This came from the fact that many members of Royal families and the Aristocracy had a blue tinge to their skin. It was discovered that it was caused by Silver. Many of the wealthy used silver dishes and cutlery. It is a Precious metal, so it didn't cause any harm.

Thank for the information. Silver is not a heavy metal. Common natural occurring heavy metals: arsenic, lead, cadmium and others. Arsenic is common in phosphate that is used in fertilizers. Regions with a history of mining have more heavy metals in the soil. The coffee that most of us drink every morning have heavy metals. Occasionally I listen to heavy metal.

The marijuana that is sold nowadays is mostly laced with all sorts of chemicals to enhance its strength.  That being fentanyl, Meth and anything else that is laying around the chemical shops.

Best advice is to grow your own!!!

rather a sweeping exageration.

 

While fentanyl has found itself into many illicit substances, especailly in north and south america, the inference that relatively inexpensive marijuana is laced with meth or fentanyl, especially in thailand is ludicrous.

From an economic perspective there is no upside.
