I am not going to link to the story or video, because as Solzhenitsyn taught, we have a right not to know.
But what strikes me is how the news gets things so wrong, and immediately by getting definitions wrong. In the story there is a cannibal attack attributed to "bad LSD." This is terrible. Some kid is going to get the idea there is such a thing as bad LSD.
It is either LSD or not. If not, then do not call it bad LSD, call it what it is. A nickname for LSD is Lysergic Detergent, because it cleans up the mind, and apparently this new drug is called "bath salts." Maybe a better name would be Dahmer salt.
In any case, LSD is a perfectly legitimate drug properly used. With so much medicine outlawed in USA, people are obliged to self-medicate, which in turn leads to so many disasters. And further, with self-medication rampant, the opportunity for mad scientists to introduce new drugs is rife.
Without these drug laws, we'd have more better cheaper faster, and plenty of doctors and pharmacists to meet the demand. We have patient, doctor, pharmacist, and insurance companies. Whose bright idea was it to add "cop?"
Steve Jobs attributes some of his success with Apple Computer to his use of LSD. Cary Grant beat nicotine addiction with it. (Isn't it odd they outlaw a drug that helps beat addictions?)
Whatever this new drug is, it can be forensically traded back to the developer. Maybe it is yet another CIA plot, or maybe just another Monsanto effort to eradicate world hunger. We can know. We just need truth commissions.
Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
