Teenager takes LSD, cuts his throat, and lives
Yesterday, someone made a huge post on another forum about what happened to him on LSD recently. Basically, he was home alone, he took a dose that he couldn't handle, and he ended up slitting his throat with a kitchen knife (barely managing to remain alive), wandering the neighborhood, and jumping in front of traffic. Here is the original post (there is more below):

Re: Teenager takes LSD, cuts his throat, and lives
it's great that he's still defending drugs ... but his actions... his poor choices ... are still going to give more ammunition to the anti-drug community.

It's a shame the person involved couldn't just sit and wait it out but now his drastic actions have tainted his name forever and more fuel has been added to the fire for those anti-drug campaigners to use in their arguments

Re: Teenager takes LSD, cuts his throat, and lives
This sounds very much like another recent "I took this drug and almost died!" story that was posted on another forum. I call "Bullshit!"

Re: Teenager takes LSD, cuts his throat, and lives
This also sounds like the Anti-LSD (and PCP) propaganda they fed us in Jr. High and High school. The names change, (when they're given), the exact circumstances change, but it's still the same ol' B.S., thrown in for terrify the kiddies. Besides, alchohol related fatalities are often much more bizarre than this, but they are to commonplace to bother reporting.

Re: Teenager takes LSD, cuts his throat, and lives
Do any of the news articles actually confirm the involvement of LSD? Or is this kid some random fool blaming an incident from the news on acid?

The user posted the trip report probably about 24 hours before the media started reporting on it. Last edited by firewall; 13-04-2007 at 05:16. |

Re: Teenager takes LSD, cuts his throat, and lives
firewall, what are you trying to prove?
My point remains. NOT ONE OF THOSE NEWS ARTICLES EVEN HINT TOWARDS DRUG USE OF ANY KIND, especially LSD. I think that whoever posted the story above claiming it was them and that they were on lsd, is just trying to relate a weird story from their local news with LSD. I'll bet if one were to track down the poor kid actually involved in the situation the news articles are talking about they would not know anything about the lsd part of the story. The post above is merely rumor. All the time people make up stories trying to relate a news-article with drugs that have nothign to do with drugs. I assure you that if their were drugs involved, the news would have pickup up on it right away and made a BIG DEAL out of it. |

Re: Teenager takes LSD, cuts his throat, and lives
I am not trying to prove anything. I am simply making an informed decision about the validity of a story based on the evidence that is available to me.
Quote:
So, there are two primary possibilities here: either he is insane and the media neglected to say anything about it, or he was using a psychoactive drug and the media neglected to say anything about it. I can't think of a good reason why the media would overlook the former because it would be too obvious after the fact. But the latter could be overlooked easily, because by the time anyone regained consiouness from an accident like that, the trip would be over. Thus, in conclusion, I certainly admit that you may be right, but why should I believe that to be the case? Your post suggests that you are cynical toward this story because you perceive accidents like this to be a challenge to your notion of recreational drug use. And I won't blame you for that. But there are many important lessons to take away from a story like this whether it is real or not, because let's face it, accidents like this do occur, and they can be avoided if the proper safety measures are taken.

Just because you are told the same story from a bunch of different sources does *not* make it fact! And one important observation regarding the timeline . . . He begins his post by stating that it happened a little over a week ago. The news reports state that the incident takes place on the Saturday and the report is dated the following Tuesday - three days later. How do you figure that your mystery poster has the scoop on the media if his report refers to an event that occurred "A little more than a week ago"? |

Re: Teenager takes LSD, cuts his throat, and lives
Holy crap, MrG, you have a really good eye. That settles it. I guess I should learn from Pinkavvy and start being more cynical. I certainly wasn't as "informed" as I thought. My apologizes, Pinkavvy, for questioning your motives.

Re: Teenager takes LSD, cuts his throat, and lives
Come on, it is possible to lose control on a high dose of acid, it is possible to have a bad reaction, and it is possible that the story is true. There is a guy that reported a experience and a lot of new's references.
We have lots of scientific studies and proofs that cannabis does not cause mental impairment, nor permanent brain damage. But goverment and prohibitionists don't listen and deny this information the first thing they always say is IF YOU SMOKE YOU'LL KILL BRAIN CELLS AND BECOME DUMBER. Ain't we seeing conspiration against drugs all around? Ain't we denying some facts cause the won't say good things about drugs? In my opinion there is a big chance the story is true. |

Re: Teenager takes LSD, cuts his throat, and lives
Looks like someone wanted a little attention to me but nevertheless bad trips do happen to certain people.. this might sound selfish but i find myself annoyed and aggravated with people who venture into the psychedelic realm and have bad reactions.. generally there are types of signs that can be derived from a person indicatating that he or she should probably not experiment with a strong psychedelic such as lsd, that might be a narrow minded thing to say but it seems true to me, psychological issues in the human brain from past experiences and chemical imbalances can play a huge roll and therefore can diagnose whether a person would have the mental capacity to handle a trip; someone beg to differ? i would like to hear what other people think about bad trip concepts.

Re: Teenager takes LSD, cuts his throat, and lives
When you are on an LSD trip.... everything, all your senses can be screaming at you to prove some idea that is fucked up and bad and wrong. You've got nothing to fall back on. You can't even think straight.
It might have no relation to "underlying psychological issues". It's like you are trying to blame the user and not the drug. To be honest I find it annoying how so many drug users automatically say "no LSD is all fine and it's a safe drug it's only loons and bad people who give it a bad name". It's arrogant. SWIM's had very bad experiences on LSD. Almost got himself killed by jumping in front of cars.... why? Because swim was trying to escape and thought "well maybe the thing trying to get me won't dare follow me in front of that car". Nevermind that it wasn't real. It seemed real for all the ability to tell what is real or not. It's all very well saying "underlying psychological issues"... but what if the LSD CHANGES your psychology? Then you'll have new psychological issues that only came from the drug. You see, people just aren't coached in "LSD mental war-combat". SWIM found the only way out of the bad trip, was to fight his way out. SWIM was being attacked by negative entities using the LSD as a way to make minds vulnerable and impregnate them with bad ideas. Once a mind had no self-defence mechanisms left, and was vulnerable to experiencing bad ideas... it was easy target. That is why SWIM found that only FIGHTING (yes fighting) against the lies that LSD was telling him worked. Part of fighting lies of course is to ignore them, and remind yourself of how reality normally is, but it's still a battle. Unfortunately, swim only realised this 3/4 of the way into the second trip. No one explained this survival trick to SWIM. Instead they blamed HIM, only thus making it harder for SWIM to fix the trip. Is it "underlying psychological issues" to be lacking super mental-combat skills of being able to logically piece together what of your senses and emotions really are real and what aren't? Especially when your ability to think logically is being impaired by LSD? It might be having "psychological issues" to assume in everyday life that if you look in the mirror there is another person there, or to assume other stuff that people grow out of by developing mental skills... But generally, in real life, we can TRUST OUR SENSES. We don't expect our senses to throw negative nasty evil fucked up delusions which are only trying to convince us to kill ourselves. SWIM has done DXM many times. No bad delusions there. SWIM's senses were warped, but nothing bad was suggested into the senses. LSD was different. Bad stuff was entered into SWIM's senses. So, seeing as in normal life, we can trust our senses.... how does it make sense to say LSD is exposing underlying psychological issues? It WOULD only if in real life we CAN'T trust our senses. But in real life, we CAN trust our senses, or else we'd all be dead because cars we couldn't see would have run us over. Survival of the fittest guarantees our senses are good enough to get us healthily through life, even if they aren't god-like senses which can sense everything, it's enough to be healthy. So basically your "underlying psychological health" thing is based on flawed assumption. It's also a nasty judgement upon a victim. AND it encourages others to suffer more LSD drug problems through your arrogant support of the drug. OK so sure SOME people just by luck or some trait of who they are, might always be mistrusting of their senses and trying to piece together how things really are and might always be already fighting against some sort of "logical breakdown damage" in their brain and might be suited for taking LSD. It seems like a useless survival skill though, because it's almost never needed unless you are already on drugs. But other people trust their senses to not lie to them, and get by fine in life. That just might mean differences in inner-workings may be highlighted by LSD, but it doesn't say anything about mental health. And even then, those who don't naturally assume their senses are lying to them, can learn the "LSD mental combat/survival skills", if they are trained by in them by people who ADMIT AND KNOW that LSD will make you believe horrible fucked up things that aren't true. But they CAN'T be trained in those skills by ignorant people who say LSD is all flowers and puppies. BTW, shamans (non-ignorant people who know what they are talking about) regularly tell their trip-undergoers, that demons, negative entities, WILL try to lie to them and tell them all sorts of horrible fucked up things are happening to them. They tell the trippers to ignore their lies, and just remind themselves of how things really are. But you don't do that! you just tell us to live in ignorance and only expect flowers and puppies and if we see any bad things, its OUR fault. Who do you think is wiser here, you or the shamans?
