Brown said he now believes that the fast-food restaurant workers thought “extra lemon” was a street name for marijuana.
He said he found three bags of weed in his cup after drinking the beverage.

Brown said he’d never had marijuana, so he didn’t recognize the taste.
“I have never had weed a day in my life, so immediately after I started drinking it, I started to feel weird and it didn’t taste like something I recognized,” the 24-year-old Charleston man said.
