John was a popular student in high school. He was a star athlete, so he had a lot of friends and was invited to everything; prom, homecoming, hangouts, parties. During his junior year of high school, he started dating Sophie. She went to a different school from John, but she was also popular.

Troy’s “connections” quickly started giving him marijuana laced with LSD thinking it would give the kids a better “party”. The kid’s who now expected weed to be at the party, were now smoking what they thought was weed, just to find out that they were also using LSD.
