Weed? Moss tied in thread. Crack? Organic shea butter. Cocaine bricks? Shrink-wrapped foam blocks. Designers reveal the secrets of faking drugs onscreen – from popping sugar pills to snorting vitamin D

The fake meth they created was so realistic, says King, it sometimes got stolen from the set.

Or maybe people involved on the shoot wanted a macabre souvenir?

Also wasn’t the meth blue?

Plot twist: its actually all real drugs and they cover it by pretending its a TV series

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I know a story, not sure what tv show it was but there was a lot of drugs in it that was usually always fake.

Except somehow the day snoopdog did a cameo on it, then suddenly the fake weed was replaced by real.

Security then came in and people freaked out but apparently they were just being unprofessional and wanted a signature.

Someone else can probably tell us what show it was and provide a source to this story. I can’t

Organic Shea butter sounds expensive for fake crack

At that point crack is cheaper.
