Without a government statement, multiple news outlets inserted a small news item mentioning and downplaying the effects of the drug. In Montana, a vet decided to see what the drug did to cattle. After seeing no ill effects, he cooked and ate the meat. He subsequently realized that the cattle's digestive enzymes changed the drug and made it into a hallusinigan with little side effects.
As a vet, he aquired the tech to create a new version of Happy. This Montana version was later found out to have different effect depending on the batch. The emzimes reacted with the drug and mutated it. This created a new drug that had the same main effects of the original but had various side effects that later caused a higher death count.
