LSD: My Life-Saving Drug

Re:LSD: My Life-Saving Drug by wheatbin on Wednesday February 03, 2016 @05:26AM (#11025736)

Around 20 years ago three friends of mine had bad acid trips around the same time. One of them was rushed into emergency, strapped down on the stretcher. He was crying out for Jesus to save him (he was not religious). Since then he cannot hold down a thought, never mind a job. He lives with his parents.

My other two friends went high to a houseparty and committed suicide by shooting themselves in the head. It was all over the national news.

The double suicide happened about 1986-1988 in Brantford Ontario. The Toronto Sun called it a "Death Party". It made the front page. I searched but my Google fu has failed me (or the news was never archived online in the first place).

I'm not going to share the name of the other friend, for obvious privacy reasons.

OK fair enough, yet one example, and news media are the worst at accuracy about drugs.
