After much debate, the duo bring Achim to the plantation so that Achim can help with the aphid problem and use an adulterant on the plants called "Brain cell massacre" which according to Achim is used in [[Kazakhstan]] plantations. On the way to the grow area, they try to pick [[psychedelic mushrooms]] convinced that nobody will be suspicious of mushrooms on a pizza. They test them out on Achim while he is at the plantation stating that they already tried some. Achim is poisoned by the mushrooms and goes into a convulsive state when a hunter is spotted nearby. The "Brain cell massacre" is used to knock Achim out and he is locked in the protagonists' trunk along with the harvested crop itself and the hunter who discovered the cannabis plantation.

However, unbeknownst to the protagonists, Achim is an undercover police officer.

After much debate, the duo decide to bring Achim to the plantation so that he can help with the aphid problem, using an adulterant on the plants called "Brain cell massacre," which, according to Achim, is used in Kazakhstan plantations. On the way to the growing area, they try to pick psychedelic mushrooms, convinced that nobody will be suspicious of mushrooms on a pizza. They test them out on Achim while he is at the plantation, stating that they already tried some. Achim is poisoned by the mushrooms and goes into a convulsive state, when suddenly a hunter is spotted nearby.
