Here's a brief overview of Rabia/Susan's unfounded and blatantly dishonest allegations:
In early January, Rabia began advancing the theory that Hae may have been murdered while attempting to purchase marijuana, something that contradicted everything we knew about Hae up to that point, as well as the statements of several of her friends.

Hae also got her weed from Jay, so possible their paths crossed that day

I think she stopped to pick up some weed and got hurt by somebody, but I don't know who
In her Feburary Bloggingheads appearance, Susan Simpson also embraced this theory, introducing her now infamous "people have said" standard:

what we do know is that, I mean, we have people who did say that Hae smoked weed. And we know that Jay dealt weed to people who Stephanie said he should deal to. I think he said 15 people at Woodlawn he was dealing to. And he says at some point I forget which trial that Hae was not one of them but again its Jay. Since they were all in a circle and like Adnan if he wanted to get weed he went to Stephanie and Stephanie took him to Jay. Its not hard to imagine that if Hae wanted to do the same thing she would take the same route Adnan did
For many fans of Serial, even those who believed that Adnan was wrongfully convicted, these claims about Hae's alleged drug use were unsettling and akin to victim-blaming, particularly as there was no apparent factual basis to support them. Numerous Redditors demanded that proof be produced, leading to this March blog post by Rabia.

Susan, in case no one noticed, actually never brought that up until she was given all the documents, and then only in conjunction with the theory that Hae may have been picking up some pot when she was murdered.
Discerning minds, minds as clever as Susans, should have been able to deduce she found something in those documents. She did. But she was too classy to reveal her source. So she stuck to what I and Saad had said earlier that we knew Hae smoked pot because Adnan told us she did.
I tend to believe Adnan because in all these years Ive never experienced him lying to me. So when he told me that Hae did smoke pot, though infrequently, I believed him. It didnt hurt that this was actually corroborated by Haes diary. Susan, being respectful and sensitive to revealing what was in Haes diary, did not want to publicly point to it as the source that confirmed what I and Saad said. This leaves me in a dilemma. I have no intentions of ever sharing Haes diary. It is a heinous violation of her privacy to do so. But if I state that it is clear from her diary that she did smoke pot, pitchforks will fly for evidence, and Ill be called a liar in absence of it. If I post the excerpt, pitchforks will fly for violating her privacy. Idiots abound.
But in the search for the truth of what actually happened to her, I think its important to seriously consider where her day may have lead her. And it may absolutely have led her to buying some weed.
Two weeks later, in her /r/NarcoticsUnitAMA, Rabia doubled down on this baseless "theory," replying that it was what she thought actually happened to Hae on January 13th:

My theory is that Hae, who was dressed up very nicely because she'd be seeing Don that evening, was going to pick up some weed and ended up running into someone very dangerous.
So, what are we left with? The "people who did say" are just two idiots (Rabia and Saad) repeating a dubious claim by Adnan Syed.
The diary entry that Susan "discovered" with her analytical mind (ha ha ha he he he) to "corroborate" their claims of drug abuse did no such thing and was intentionally cropped in order to conceal its actual meaning.
(Note: There is good reason to doubt Rabia's account of this "discovery," but Susan has never contradicted or corrected Rabia's timeline.)
Finally, now seven months on, none of the Undisclosed ghouls or anyone else with whom they've shared Hae's diary have had the common decency to admit that there is absolutely nothing substantive to support the claim that Hae was ever a user or purchaser of drugs, let alone that she was buying drugs when she was murdered on January 13th.
tl;dr: This is arguably the most dishonest and reprehensible thing Rabia and Susan have done in regard to this case, and that's really saying something.
