Embolism death

The other day an old friend of mine died after taking two hits of what was supposed to be acid. He was found dead, something about a bouble in his spinal fluid. Does anyone know what the hell could have done this to him? because i damn well know it wasn't some acid! I'm thinking it was straight up some sort of poison. I never heard from an atopsy so shit.

 

I'm not quite sure how to take this post.

You don't seem like the sort to make shit up, but given your recent thread complaining about your friends spreading rumours of there being strychnine in acid, the irony of this post is off the scale.

If this really did happen, I'm truly sorry for your loss, and am completely stumped as to what could have happened.

 

are you serious man thats fucked up...

Not LSD obviously like you said...my thoughts would be some kind of RC? Even that seems alittle sketchy...

Are they sure it was the acid and not something that your friend just had, maybe the LSD effected negatively...dude I'm so sorry about your loss, thats fucked up that someone would taint LSD to that extent, if that what in fact happened. LSD is supposed to have some action on your spinal chord isnt it? I know after I trip my back feels like shit usually.

Theres always the stychnine myth...but ive always heard that strychnine in acid doesnt kill you, just makes you crampy and gives the acid a dirty feel.

 

I don't think there is anyway physically possible, for any drug or poison to cause air bubbles in the spinal fluid (air embolism). If the person was injecting something directly into his spine, that is a different story. Was your friend a diver? If not, about the only way to get air into the spine or brain is through acute trauma.

 

if its a myth, there is no reason to go into details... its like illustrating the grooves your sphinctor made in some shit you just squeezed out...

 

No i didn't make it up. He really died. At first when i heard air embolism i thought that it was probably from shooting up something, but later i'm finding out otherwise. I don't know how this could have happened either. Either way its all fucked up.

 

hahahaha...sorry bro i dont see symbolism there

my point was...its supposed to be a myth, for all i know it still happens alot, its not worth ruling out completely on that basis

 

How dare those bastards even sell acid! This is one of the things that make acid and the people who do it dirty/bad. I'm terribly sorry for your friend, god that makes me quite angry! My advice is to find this dick and get him booked for murder or something!

 

no, there is NO strychtnine(sp) in acid.

 

you are an idiot!

 

Strychnine does not cause embolisms. In fact, no known poisons or drugs do.

 

uninformed at least

 

Im not doubting you...but everyone i know seems to think there is or at least was strychine in some batches acid at some point, thats just what ive heard from a couple seasoned phish-heads so i took there word for it.

I'm not saying i beleive that there is, all I'm saying is...have you tested every single tab of street acid since 1967...probably not so you cant really say for sure

 

even if there was strychnine in LSD you would never notice. only an extremely low dose of anything will fit on a tiny hit of paper. if you dipped a hit of acid in the strychnine there would not be enough strychnine on the paper to cause any effect.

 

yeah, so i figured...i never beleived it fully like most people do anyway, i was just makin a point...

What would be the point of putting strychtnine in blotter anyways...it seems like an uneccisary additive...thats why ive never fully bought the myth was cause it just seems random, also because Erowid has an article downplaying the theory, and Erowid is my bible.

 

making a point? for what? you were wrong, you know you're wrong, but you're still arguing about how its ok for you to almost kind of believe and/or propigate lies about drugs?

 

what are you talking about man...did you not read the posts above, I never claimed to be right, I just said thats what I heard and you cant be sure lol...im not propogating lies...Above I just admitted to being wrong and im asking whats the point of the myth anyway, because random rat poison in blotter seems farfetched and random to begin with...wherre in that post do you see me argueing...fool...

trust me i would be the last person to spread untrue rumors about drugs...when in this thread did I say "STRYCHTNINE IS IN LSD BLAAAHH YOUR WRONG"...not once

 

but you kept defending the idea that strychnine COULD be in acid, even though it's been proven over and over and over that it is NOT TRUE

 

your argueing a moot point here bro...i accepted myself being wrong a while back

but...just for the sake of argueing with you...show me where its been proven...

dude its the same thing with heroin in E Pills....you cant prove it...its probably not true, and its farfetched, doesnt happen anymore but the rumors had to start from something...but YOU CANT prove it, which is why its still a hot topic. how do you know if one batch of acid had strychnine on it or not... you cant prove that and no one else can so dont even make that claim...

And also i said that its possible that a batch of acid in the 60's could have contained it..tell me how you would prove that

there you go....all myths start from some truth

like ive said all along, i wasnt right in assuming that it was still around, but theres defiantly some concrete foundation as to where the myth originated.

 

that info in that link looks pretty vague to me man... there is no strychnine in LSD, there is no point arguing that, or any idea's regarding strychnine in LSD.
