Las Vegas restaurant accused of lacing food with THC

A Las Vegas woman claims a restaurant laced her food with THC, the main psychoactive compound in marijuana.

“Their food is usually really tasty and we’ve never had a problem before, but this was a problem,” Samantha Diaz tells WRAL.

Diaz says she took a curry dish home and experienced symptoms when she ate it two days later.

“I was like melting into my chair and I got all disoriented and heavy,” Diaz described. “I thought, what is happening here?”

“I said to my husband…’Honey? I think I’m high,’ and he was like, ‘Get out of here. We haven’t left the house in two days.'”

It wasn’t until Super Bowl Sunday that Diaz came across social media posts where people claimed to have the same experience.

There were multiple reviews about tainted food on the restaurant’s Yelp page, too, with some posting they went to the emergency room and tested positive for THC.

Diaz said she called the health district and filed a police report. As a cancer survivor taking medication, she’s worried.

“You can’t drug people — if they choose to do it on their own, that’s their business,” Diaz said. “But, you know, you can’t mess with that stuff.”

Las Vegas Metro Police are investigating the reports.
