A UK YouTuber named Sam Pepper was hospitalised with food poisoning after consuming a traditional Indian drink called bhang lassi during his tour of India. The incident which took place in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh has forced him to postpone his tour. This drink, containing components of the cannabis plant, is popular in the Indian subcontinent but proved too strong for Pepper, who experienced severe digestive issues despite initially finding it “amazing.”

YouTuber explains what got him sick
In the video, the YouTuber was seen describe for him to get sick wasn’t the bhang lassi but how it was made.He said: “It’s not the weed it’s how he made it. The weed is not the problem like it could have been just a normal lassi. It was dirty, he was sitting on the floor his nails were black he was rubbing it with his hands. The cups were used by everyone. They used unpasturised curds or something.”
He also shared a separate clip on social media platform X (earlier Twitter) to show how the bhang lassi which got him sick was made.

In the YouTube video he also shared his experience with Indian food. Pepper said: “I can’t
think about eating Indian food right now. When I first came here they brought me off a platter and it had four different Indian rice. I was like ‘Oh my god’ there’s no way I’m going to be able to consume that. I love Indian food more than anything but I ain’t going to be able to eat that right now.”
“India is nonstop just being terrorised like people horns sound food like smells like it’s insane,” he added.
Pepper also shared another tweet later on where he wrote: “Just to be clear i love India.”
