Date Published: February 16, 2001 A worker at a Brownstown Township is being sought in connection with a bud of marijuana that was found on a customer's cheeseburger. Police say that 14-year-old Rachel Height and her mother stopped at the McDonald's restaurant on Gibralter Road Thursday night. Height ordered a value meal with two cheeseburgers. The teen says that as she lifted the bun one of the burgers to rearrange some pickles, she found the piece of marijuana and pointed out the drug to her mother. The mother called police, who later confirmed that the substance was indeed marijuana, and launched an investigation. "It's really scary because, what if I would have ate it," Height said. Police say that a 20-year-old man who they described as a disgruntled employee could be responsible for putting the drug into the burger. The man fled the restaurant when police arrived to question him. Investigators said the man lives in Trenton, and that they do know his identity. He had not been taken into custody Friday evening. Officers said that the suspect could face two felonies related to delivery of marijuana and food tampering, which could mean up to 10 years in jail.

I do not condone "doping' someone without their knowledge and permission. On the other hand "What if I would have ate it" woooo.....Remember in the D.A.R.E programs they told you you would be a junkie if you used drugs.....your life would have been totally ruined........because you now would have the power to see through bullshit !
I am sorry , but I just don't understand. A disgruntled employee places a bud in a chessburger? What the hell was he thinking? If I was upset at work It wouldn't occur to me to use my weed as a way to get back at someone. What a waste! Plus just a bud sitting on a Hamburger, wouldn't do a damn thing, if someone ate it. Mind boggling!?? Plus this person uses a substance that we are trying hard to make respectable, and does something stupid to make are cause more difficult. PM
quote the simpsons "If your mad about your work, don't complain. Just go in there everyday and do your work half-assed. That's the American way!"
Maybe the guy was choping up some bud and making burgers at the sametime the a hunk of bud falls in the burger unknowly...Thats the only way I could think of why and how this could have happened.
lucky girl what if i would have ate it?! oh my god, she could have died!!! [ February 26, 2001: Message edited by: highasakite ]
lol...... from choking on the bud? I thought it was funny how "devastating" the little girl thought her situation was. Of course, she could possibly have has an allergy to marijuana that could have made her throat swell shut. Of course this could just have been a ploy to give the McMunchers the McMunchies to sell more food? (I used to work at McDonalds, believe me, there isn't a word that I haven't put "Mc" in front of.) Reminds me of the magic cookies (or brownies) that were delivered to the fire department somewhere. The firepeople chowed down. Some claim to have been made ill by eating them, others just got an unexpected high. They treated it as an equally deadly and devastating incident.
If the kid just wanted to see what would happen if someone ate some weed, he could have asked. (half the teenagers in town would have lined up...and probably some of the parents ....All in all ..a dumb move on burger boy's part.
Everyone has been giving the 14 year old a hard time. Now lets focus on the real dummy. Her mother. How many people would call the police to confirm what marijuana looks like? yes, it was a waste of good bud in a burger but I believe it fell out of his pocket while preparing food. That doesn't make it sanitary but it is plausible. Back to momma, she went to one too many DARE classes herself and needs to get stoned a few times to see thru the bullshit. Remember, the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.
just a bit of info. it is actually a fact that mcdonalds used to put a chemical in their burgers that stopped people from getting too full up, so they would order more food. they had to stop doing this after the FDA or one of those groups found out. maybe weed was the secret "chemical" all along?! heh plus, this mother should be more worried about all the shit that is in mcdonalds food. there is hardly any beef in their burgers (they are yummy though!!).
Jesus Christ I wish this planet would lighten up or is that Light up. I've been toking for over 30 years. I have yet to grow horns, a third tit, or turn into a slobbering piece of shit. The "war" on drugs is a national shame in the USA, which is causing the parlimentarians in my country a bunch of Yankee sycophants!!
