"Homeopathy conference ends in chaos after delegates take hallucinogenic drug."

"The group of 'Heilpraktikers' was discovered at the hotel where they held their conference in the town of Handeloh, south of Hamburg... suffering from delusions, breathing problems, racing hearts and cramps, with some in a serious condition...."
Torsten Passie, a member of the German government’s expert commission for narcotics, told NDR: “It must have been a multiple overdose. That does not support the view that the people concerned took the hallucinogen knowingly. One has to assume that people were not told about the substance, its effects and risks before taking it.”
Aren't these homeopathy people known for pushing a substance that has absolutely no effect at all?
The British Government’s drug advisory service, Frank, describes 2C-E as a psychedelic and hallucinogenic stimulant that has effects “somewhere between ecstasy and LSD”. Anyone taking it experiences a buzz and feeling of being “alive and in tune with their surroundings”, their colours and smells. It can also cause hallucinations, sexual arousal, hypersensitivity and other effects that become “more intense and uncontrollable” with higher doses. The drug is classed as relatively new by Frank....
Frank! The British government named its drug advisory service the way you'd name a baby. Frank, indeed. What drug were they on? Did they think a druggy sort of humor would reach out to drug-addled Britons?

I'm guessing that "cramps" is a euphemism for extreme diarrhea.

I bet if you took that drug before being handcuffed and buried alive that It would really enhance and magnify the experience.

...that the brown homeopathic remedy that is circulating around us isn't too good. It is suggested that you stay away from that.

Of course it's your own trip

Wow. If the drug was that strong straight-up imagine how powerful it would have been if they mixed it with 100 or even 1000 parts water!

I don't see anywhere in the article where it says, "Hilarity ensued." That's journalistic malpractice, plain and simple.

Cynicus said...

Frank is derived from Latin meaning "free". Is that because the drugs will set you free or because the drugs are free?

Never ingest anything for which you do not know the result, unless of course you are already high or stupid ... but I repeat myself.

Guy isn't feeling well so he goes to his homeopath, Doc.

Doc checks him out and says, "No wonder. You have a tape worm."

Guy says, "Oh no. I hope that doesn't mean I have to take any toxic drugs or anything."

Doc says, " No. No. We have an all natural solution, buts it's....well, some find it trying."

"I definitely want to go with the all natural solution."

"OK, then. Turn around, bend over and drop your pants." instructs Doc.

Guy obeys. Doc reaches into his desk, pulls out a banana and an oatmeal cookie. He swiftly shoves the banana up Guy's ass and follows it with the oatmeal cookie. He tells Guy to go home, don't take a dump no matter what and come back next Tuesday.

Next Tuesday Guy comes back. Doc checks him out and says he needs another treatment. Guy is understandably reluctant, but the only alternative is modern medicine, so finally he bends over.
Doc gives him another banana and another oatmeal cookie, cautions him against defecation and tells him he'll see him in a week.

At the end of a very long week, Guy returns. Doc tells him to bend over and drop his pants one more time. Guy whimpers, but complies.

Doc shoves a banana up Guy's ass, then he leans back in his chair and waits .

After a few minutes, the tapeworm pokes his head out and says, "Where's my oatmeal cookie?"

Quick as wink Doc grabs that sucker by the throat and jerks him out.

If the room was full of typewriters would one of them have written Shakespeare?

Probably Ken Kesey, I'm thinking.

Next time they should stick to the homeopathic version.

Neighbor lady decided to make her own brew of colloidal silver. Smeared it over her entire body 20 years ago. Her skin is silver head to toe. When my kids were younger they were terrified of her.

Sounds like a fun and terrible trip. I'd say that I'd be very upset by a surprise dosing with this drug. And one person having a bad trip will likely lead to a roomful of people having a bad trip.

Synesthesia and fractal visuals, in a strange hotel during a conference. It's not an overdose, it's just a bad place.

I think this was a practice run for the presidential nominating conventions.

In other words, Hillary will indeed win the Democratic nomination, on the first vote, unanimously, and maybe the Republican nomination, too.

Depends on how crazy the drug makes you, of course, but sounds like it makes you so crazy she just might look like a good candidate.

And I predict that she will choose Cuomo of NY as her running mate, because the much-preferred flying monkeys will disappear when the high wears off.

"Aren't these homeopathy people known for pushing a substance that has absolutely no effect at all?"

So, which is the problem:

1. They believe their own theory, and so assumed that a full dose would produce only small effects, or
2. They took a large dose because they don't believe their own absurd theory?

This was going to happen when you allow Homeopathic Marriage.

Frank is frank because they're frank. I can't find why they picked the name but they try to give accurate information about drugs instead of anti-drug propaganda. Sometimes it's written "FRANK" but if it's an acronym for something, I don't know what it is.

Relatively new?

Kids at my high school were buying 2-CE from reputable chemical companies in Japan back in the early-mid 00s and getting it shipped right to their parent's houses. Then the feds caught on (not to them specifically) and that ended right quick. But by then it was easily available domestically anyway. Well if you knew the right people. Like with any other illegal substance.

It's definitely not relatively new. It's been around in psychedelic circles since Shulgin wrote about it although it didn't gain much popularity until the late 90s.

If you're going to take drugs you need a few people not taking drugs to handle those who are stoned out of their mind. also, if you're going to take drugs you need to account for the effects of taking said drugs.

Maybe homeopathy does work. Instead of lsd take homeophathy.
