20 of the World's Most Disturbing Drug-Induced Freakouts
In the last few years, the news has become clogged with stories of people having adverse and detrimental reactions to drugs - particularly, synthetic drugs. The most common ones listed here include phencyclidine (PCP or angel dust); synthetic cathinones like mephedrone (bath salts or meow meow) and alpha-Pyrrolidinopentiophenone, or alpha-PVP (Flakka); and synthetic cannabinoids (spice or K2). Since every person is different, each reaction is unique yet equally traumatizing. Some users try to eat their loved ones, some people try to chop their arms off, and some people just take part in stripping down to their birthday suits.
People having bad reactions to street drugs isn't new. A quick YouTube search of teens trying molly, or any other synthetic substance, can dissuade most people from ever trying such things at all. Some of the items on this list of people taking recreational drugs are briefly entertaining, but most of them are horrifying and led to devastatingly tragic circumstances.
Vote up the most alarming activities executed by people on drugs, and be sure to let us know what you think in the comment section.
