Mall Buddha Edible

I find myself in a mall, walking around. I'm semi-lucid, having transitioned from a previous dream. As I continue to walk, I notice a few friends beside me, and it seems we are all at the arcades. I try to gauge the context. So I ask them if we are in high school or college; they don't seem to know. I then look to the side and see a weed shop. I walk in and immediately notice a small, golden Buddha sculpture. I then pick up an edible; it looks like a pile of... something unpleasant, covered in golden foil. After I eat it, a bunch of strings form around my neck, choking me. As I break one string, more appear. After a struggle, I manage to fully break the strings. I then look all over the store but can't find the Buddha sculpture. Eventually, I find a Buddha head, also covered in golden foil, with a flying horse beside it.
