Florida Face Eater

[Cyber Wolf]

So, a lot of people were betting on that guy in Florida who ate the homeless man's face was chock full of weird and dangerous psychoactive drugs. Turns out he was only high on pot.

That was a vicious case of the munchies.

No, he was just really off his face.

Tox screen positive only for pot doesn't mean that was the only thing he was high on. LSD doesn't show on a drug screen ... I suspect mdpv doesn't either, but I can't find any information on my favorite go-to for drug information.

What I do know is that people can get and stay shit-crazy for a week or more on bath salts.

He may just be bat-shit crazy all the time but that day he happened upon a hooter.

Tox screen positive for pot doesn't mean he was high on it when doing the deed. It means he was probably high on it some time in the last few weeks.

It will turn out that he was bat-shit crazy all the time and what was not found in his blood were the anti-psychotic drugs he should have been taking or stopped taking.

Dewey Finn: Ok, here's the deal. I have a hangover. Who knows what that means?
Frankie: Doesn't that mean you're drunk?
Dewey Finn: No. It means I was drunk yesterday.

I remember a friend of mine going bathit crazy on ketomin and ghb. Thought the Bradford muslims were armed and preparing to launch a jihad against white people.

He got himself some guns and survival basics and locked himself in his house, wrapped in an old army blanket.

It's too bad you have to be born in the U.S. to be President. He could have beat out Romney in the Republican primary.

I was reading an article on Yahoo!News about this.

One of the commentors said "On marijuana, you might get the munchies, but not that bad."

Either the bathsalts shit was just not showing up in his system (if, as Wolf says, it can keep someone derailed for a week or more this seems a possibility) or he had an underlying psychiatric condition. The fact that he had pot in his system doesn't mean it was pot that made him eat a man's face.

Nah, pot in itself probably isn't what did it, but I wouldn't rule out the pot being a factor. Pot can lower inhibitions in some people. And there's been word this guy wasn't entirely right in the head well before all this, but he didn't want to get help for it. Given that, his head probably wasn't right to have those kinds of chemicals in it at all. And if he had smoked pot, I somehow doubt it was his first time.

I guess what I'm saying is, based on what's publicly available about him and the situation, I don't think all the behavior he exhibited from the first reports of him swinging around naked on lampposts up until he was finally shot dead would have happened if he hadn't had psychoactive chemicals in his brain, whether it was the first hit or a slow build-up over time. I kinda wonder what he'd have been like if he had gone on a booze bender.

Maybe he was insane, and the pot was an attempt to self medicate. Maybe the insanity caused him to steal the face right off that dude's head. Maybe the pot had nothing to do with it.

I hate that street name. Because dumbass middle-aged people, who get all their information about the new hip drugs from places like USA Today, are not aware that the drug is not actually bath salts. And then they overhear you talking about epsom salt baths, and they start to lecture you on how it's not safe to have that stuff around the house when you have a teenage stepdaughter...
