The popular association between psychedelics and jumping from a great height originated with another crusade by America's columnist Art Linkletter, and his claim that his daughter jumped from her window to her death because she had taken LSD 6 months before.

IMO it's the circulation of this trope that kills. People on psychedelics while having emotional issues and acting out know exactly how they're expected to behave.

And apparently, this guy jumped less than an hour after taking a small amount of them. I can't imagine he was feeling much of anything yet, although others' experiences may vary from mine.
