We often confuse between leafy vegetables, don’t we? And this confusion made an entire family in Uttar Pradesh land up in a hospital. In an extremely strange incident, six members of the family ate up ‘ganja sabzi’ thinking that its methi or fenugreek. Due to the overconsumption of weed, they soon started feeling dizzy and requested the neighbours to call a doctor. When the neighbours contacted the doctor, the family members became unconscious. Read on to know how things started.
Family Consumes Ganja, Mistaking It For Methi
The incident happened in UP’s Miyaganj village. As per reports, a vegetable seller named Naval Kishore gave a packet of weed or ganja instead of methi to a man named Nitesh, to play a prank on him. Nitesh carried the packet home and handed it to his sister-in-law. Totally unaware about the joke, she started making a sabzi with potatoes and weed. She had intended to cook aloo-methi, but her preparation turned out to be aloo-ganja instead. The six members of the family consumed the sabzi and soon, their health started deteriorating. They hurriedly asked the neighbours to contact the doctor. All the fainted family members were hospitalized. After investigation, police found out that the sabzi in the kadhai was actually ganja. The cops seized the uncooked ganja as well and detained the vegetable seller. The family members are in recovering now.
