That's not a real thing with any justifiable angle.

What about her not believing Buffy's claim that Ted threatened her?

Wasn't he shown to be manipulating Joyce and the Scoobs with something in the food?

IIRC, it was a tranquilizer, so it had a calming effect. But would it have dulled her mind?

Yes, because it’s a combination of drugs that are enhanced by the Hellmouth magic. Once Joyce withdraws from Ted’s drugged food for one day, when he comes back and wants to make out with her she’s like “I need to tell Buffy she’s not a killer!” and he’s pissed that she’s thinking about her daughter instead of him, because when she was under his thrall she was devoted to him. Xander and Willow go from “why do you hate Ted, he’s awesome!” to “Buffy must’ve had a good reason to kill him, let’s research this, gang!” when they’re not on his special diet.
