    Unpopular answer, but its possible those cops aren’t lying. Specifically they are believing their own misinformation and giving themselves a panic attack.

        Pretty sure they’re just saying that they probably are feeling some kind of symptoms but it’s self inflicted and not actually drug related

          i think we’re saying the same thing, just that the line between lying and just not knowing what the fuck is going on is a lot thinner for a lot of us than we’d like to admit in medicine.

              Pretty much this. As far as it happening systemically? Hard to say, but if I may speculate we have fairly uniform reports of people feeling stuff at religious events. They are fully bought into the concept and feel they are in a spiritual or healing moment. Cops being that deep into their propaganda feels like it could be similar.
