Re: mental and emotional damages
If you were to sue and claim that someone gave you an adulterated (laced) illegal drug, you would have to make an admission in the court and on the record that you purchased and smoked an illegal substance (marijuana). If you are willing to do this, and accept any consequences, you could, arguably,go forward with a colorable claim for damages against your supplier
Re: mental and emotional damages
I agree with Raymond.
You state that you are an occasional user. If you sue, assuming that you are damaged, and that you can prove who laced the marijuana and with what, you are putting your drug use history, your medical history and your mental health history for the defendant.
If you sue, and everything else is ok, then you want to be sure that when you prove damages, you can collect them.
