I saw that movie back when I was a teen. All it did for me was to make me curious and had pot been around back then I most likely would have tried it.
Now I want to know what kind of pain pills this man was on, for personal reasons.
Years ago my Dad was in the hospital and a friend smuggled him in a screw driver. He was happy to drink it but after the visit ended his nurse arrived to give him a shot of Demerol. It didn't take long for the drug and Vodka to mix and he had to be restrained as he was seeing Lobsters crawling on his bed. Not just every day lobsters but 15 pounders, so he decided to run for his life. Poor Dad, no telling what would have happened to him had he managed to get out in the hall and run away.
Only years later when I met his "friend" and he told me about bringing in the cocktail for Dad was I able to link the drug and vodka to his very bazaar behavior.
So did this man mix pain pills with perhaps a beer then eat the candy ?
Odd a man would buy drug infused candy when there were 3 kids in the home that may have snitched a couple pieces
or a wife that did not want to eat at least one piece of candy. What kind of man buys candy brings it home and not share with wife and kiddies?
Lots of questions here, will we ever know the whole story, most likely not but he was not on PCP so your guess is good as mine. I wonder what the Coroners report on the wife's death showed about her state of health at the time.
