So ... my neighbor (the wife) comes to my door yesterday afternoon with tears in her eyes. As I open the door, she thrusts a garbage bag into my hands and says, "Here, can you take this?" Being the astute student of human body language, I clearly deduce that something is wrong and I gladly take the bag off her hands. At which point she says, "It's a bunch drugs and other stuff. J (son's name) is dealing and he showed up at my work all paranoid and flipped out. It's just marijuana. Can you throw it out in your trash. I don't want it around to tempt him."
Hmmm ... So now I holding a bag of marijuana, and I'm more than certain that marijuana is not all that's in it. Because the ganja does cause you to hallucinate and have paranoid visions. Nor does it lead to temptations of self-violence. So I gently inform this mom that in all likelihood, her son is probably using weed that is laced with other ingrediants. At which point, she tells me that yes, this is true. He is also using something called DOM.
This is when the conversation takes a really weird turn. Apparently, her boss is getting tired of these "family issues" and she is beginning to fear for her job. So she has to go in to work tomorrow and she wants me to "babysit" J because his psychologist fears that he may be a threat to himself.
So I do a little research and discover that DOM remains in the system for 16 to 20 hours after ingestion, and that's just the baseline normative. If he took a stronger version, it would still be in his system causing delusions during the time that she would like me to watch him along with my three sons. She assures me that all will be fine. I do not share her optimism.
In the end, I contacted a police officer from my church and I asked him about anonymously dropping of the drugs at a police station (seeing as how I am not excited about having this stuff on my property or in my trash). Interesting, his station (which is an hour west of my house) will take the anonymous drop off, no questions asked. My local station, however will not do this. Their advice to my police officer friend was to have me double bag the drugs and then drive them to a local dumpster. Now let's think about this, shall we? A police officer is unwilling to come and remove the drugs "off the street" so to speak, but he would like for me to transport illegal substances in my vehicle before dropping them off in a public dumpster where any dumpster diver will likely find them. Interesting ...
What a mess! I've had to find a babysitter for my boys today so that I can watch this kid for three hours until his mom gets home to take him for his appointment. Most maddening of all, the mom doesn't want him to be checked into an inpatient facility. So instead, she'll impose on neighbors by having them dispose of drugs and deal with her druggy son.
The sad thing is: I really like my neighbors. But they are awful, permissive parents that let their kids run wild.

I don't even know where to begin...
1. Too much to flush? Disposal? Could you have just taken it out of the bag and chucked it in your lake?
2. Are there concerns (relative to your own family) re: this neighbor's son's behavior? (theft, violence?)
3. You've already got your car radio stolen once; let's not go for two-sies, let alone a hat-trick.
4. I'm still confused. Mom is incapable of disposing of an illegal substance, so she gives said illegal substance to you? Father of 3 kids?
What a weird, weird day...
Was it Indica dom or Sativish dom? I hear that 75/25 (I/S) is a good ratio for some tasty buds.
Seriously though--I can't figure out what DOM stands for. All I can guess is that it's short for 'dominant'.
[For example: This weed is a hybrid, but is (indica-strain) dominant.]
Yes, too much to flush. Thought about the lake, but we've got some weird neighbors who are hyper vigilant about the lake, so dumping after midnight might actually get me spotted.
As for the son, I would not put theft past him. In fact, he's already been nailed for it, along with passing counterfit bills (trial pending). So no, theft is not out of his reach. As for violence ... I'm guessing he's too much of a wuss.
