Bad Acid Trip: Man Castrates Himself Because His Balls Contain Monsters

• also got dosed on that shit aroune same time period.some street metal institionalized irish looking dreadlocked crackhead on the run from san diego and some gullible kid he brainwashed with with PCP based acid.was the worst evening of my life.I was going to got to an all female glass blowing competiton,fundraiser for food for the people.deco not run away when some siu side of the road acid tripping crackhead asked To be smoked out.I alw.ays cave for the poor..dreadlock tall skinny guys name was karl.id fuck him up given the chance

• Ive done acid over 100 times,yes I said over 100 times...My balls are still intact

• take five hits of acid and trip

• i think acid should be done once or twice a yr (correctly ofcorse) but the lsa occurring in morning glory n woodrose seeds (in moderate amounts) is fantastic 3 or 4 seeds a day helps make the world a shiny sparkly colorful place furthermore traveling into the altered states is a very very very old human pass time, use of psychedelics far out date all religious groups and may have even spawned them, all persons on earth hav tripper ancestors psychedelics are a part of life whether u choose to indulge in it or not! the key is knowledge!!! stupid ppl are stupid ppl and they are going to do stupid things if anything going on a trip might make them smarter! and as for the ppl who went insane after the 60's n 70's that was there own fault for abusing it!!! all indoline alkaloids are keys to unlock the doors of perception! and allow 1 to walk between the realms of consciousness and in doing so 1 is able to stand back and see the universe from a different angle witch in-turn gives urself a better understanding of nature not to mentions its bloody fun!!!

• John...speed is nothing like acid >.< But yes, I have to agree with CW and the few others that have said the same...about mushrooms...more natural. <3 ~Hippie~

• &#64;meh- The article is from 2010 right here in Eureka, Ca.. Just to set the record straight...What the guy took was definitely NOT LSD-25. Not pure anyway. There hasn't been any of that around since Sandoz/Owsley Stanley/his students closed their doors. You may THINK you got you the real deal but, think again. Whatever it is that's on the streets these days is bathtub crap. Stay away from it!

• this article is from 1966 lol

• not worth any of the hassle! once you have a bad trip u realise theres no point in this ridiculous drug! fun for times but too much at times!

• you're assuming he's joking

• That's pretty funny, DoDrugs.

• Hey, am I the only one here that is going to point out the fact that this guy saved his own life?!?! Testicle monsters are one of the worst afflictions that you can come down with. They begin to manifest in the seminiferous tubules, and then they grow into large goblin-like creatures that devour the delicious testicle flesh. They then go on to munch their way right out of the sac, where they multiply into thousands of mini-goblins. The mini-goblins then swarm into a giant hoard and transform yet again into a giant uber-goblin that rips you limb from limb eating every piece of flesh in your body. The acid clearly gave this guy an almost psychic insight into the quickly forming infectious parasite in his tainted testicles. He acted fast and chopped off the poisoned organs and flushed them safely back to hell. You should only be so lucky to be on acid when the testicle monsters form so that you can gain a level of awareness to react quickly and save your own life. LSD and quick thinking are to thank here for this man's heroic life-saving actions. We can all take a lesson from this role model of society.

• I sure hope he'd miss them. What do you talk about the next day. Well last night I went to dinner and a movie. Oh yea...last night I took some acid, watched martha stewart and oh yea...I hacked my nuts off.

• Scott: LMAO! But yeah, sad too. He'll miss them now that he's sober.

• Well, I had to throw out a Firefall reference. I mean, how often am I going to get that opportunity? Glad you didn't die, though, or cut off anyone's nuts.

• This is sad and funny. Cut his own balls off. Holy crap. I can hardly cut my own nails.

• Aw, shucks, ccccc. That was sweet. :)

• VeggieBurger: Just remember we love you and it'll be all right.

• 1.) Yup, USAF definitely gives (good) speed to pilots/navigators, etc. 2.) Yup. Sounds like PCP. My best friend (who was five years older than me and had tripped a time or...a lot....) told me 35 years ago when I was 16 that I had too much weird shit in my head already that I should never, EVER do hallucinogenics. Never did shrooms or LSD or peyote or any of that stuff...but I DID do PCP, 'cause I was so stupid I didn't know it was a hallucinogenic. Dork. Anyway, I was at a concert -- floor seats (Firefall and Dave Mason -- hey, shut up :) ha ha) -- um, okay, anyway, before the show started we were allllll kinds of f'ed up, and I remember reaching up into the people in the crowd above and plucking them out (they were very tiny!) one by one and placing them into my palm and thinking about how much fun this was. Later, I was sitting there in my seat, tears falling sliently, while I "saw" the car accident my friend and I were "going to get into" on the way home because we were so messed up...I saw glass break and impale me...I saw my face smash into the dashboard... and I was so bummed because here we were having such a good time at the concert, and then it would be over, and then he and I were going to die that night on our way home. It just sucked. Such a shitty way to end such a great date. But I just sat there in my chair the whole time...I didn't run around freaking out or cut anybody's nuts off or anything. I also didn't do PCP anymore. So...no Darwin Award for me, mm-mmm, no thank you.

• Ya that doesnt sound like "acid" it sounds like PCP. I have also dropped acid a bunch of times (dont tell my mom!) and have never experienced any kind of "bad trip". Drugs like that aren't to be taken too lightly. Although, there's a reason why schrooms, lsd, marijuana etc aren't legal, and drugs like tobacco and alcohol are. Tobacco just makes the government money. You pay to smoke, you pay to try to quit smoking, then you pay for the health care you need to die. Alcohol numbs the senses and turns people into crazy fools, and although it is a good time, it keeps peoples minds unfocused and therefore unusable. Other mind-opening drugs like acid, schrooms, weed etc they are all illegal b/c the government doesnt want us dropping acid, and seeing what mind control we are all under and do something about it. You dont see people smoke a joint, then go out and pick a fight. You see people drink a few too many rye and cokes and then bash peoples heads in. (Bill Hicks said it first).

• JUST GIMME THE FACTS AND LET ME DRAW MY OWN CONCLUSIONS, HIPPY.

• I have taken LSD oh, about a hundred times. Never once , and i mean never have i even come close to hurting or wanting to hurt myself or anyone else. Yes i had the random thoughts of having to be put in mental hospital, but no mean thoughts. Anyway haven't touched the stuff in years. I doubt that the chemical involved was LSD. I was a crash test dummy for many batches of homemade acid and every time the night turned out to be wonderful. Stay off the hard drugs kids, but do dabble with LSD if you choose. It may change your life in a positive way. Peace

• Oh yea, and my balls are full of monsters too, but you don't see me cutting them off. I try and get the monsters out every couple days, but I just keep making more of them. Oh well.

• While it's true that all thoughts and emotions are due to the interaction of neurochemicals and electric impulses collectively referred to as electrochemical impulses, that does not mean that taking acid is somehow good for you or natural. While plenty of people have tried it and been fine, others have died doing something dangerous that they would NOT have tried to do if they were not on drugs. All recreational drugs have downsides. Even weed isn't good for your lungs or your ambition - but some people are better off smoked out than not, and most users are responsible.

• There's no such thing as bad acid, there just acid. Whether or not a person has a good or a bad trip depends heavily on the individual.

• That is cool. Look out for the mosters

• wow this guy knows that he should not be having kids.. and he dedicated an entire trip just to make sure he NEVER reporduced. perfect example of population controll. this was a bit much tho, but im sure it made sense to him at the time because arent all balls just full of monsters? i had a similar trip to this but i just went and bought some condoms.

• after reading the comments and regrettably the sophmoric name calling.i thought i would put in my 2 cents worth.having done alot of lsd in my late teens and early twenties,i have a few observations to point out.first lsd will not make you do anything that is described in this article that was attributed to the poor asshats.period.its not possible.the scientist who invented lsd had dosed himself with an equivalent that is far more potent than what the average guy on the street will get.by a factor of 1000.AND he rode home on a bicycle,no less.second,it can induce a states of uphoria,paranoia,extreme angsiety,fear,well being,ect.it is entirely related to your state of mind.i have had a (bad)trip many times but my mental state and emotional well being werent in tune with what the drug would induce.haveing done 800 plus doses from 18 to 23, i have NEVER EVER had an episode where i mutilated myself as described.EVER.i have taken doses that the microgram count was far higher anticipated,and coupled with a very high dose(70)hits i did wander around the woods of wasilla ak for 5 days enjoying the living shit out of the wonderful things i was seeing in nature until some friends noticed the 6 foot 5 man built like gorilla haveing the time of his life acting abnormally and realised it was me.i was herded as one might ferrets,and a good time was had by all.no harm.no foul.sorry guys,no purple dragons,aliens,and sad to say jesus didnt stop in to shoot the breeze.what is described here sound to me to be pcp.i have never done it due to the fact that anything that can enable a 130 man can take 8 bullets to the chest and still not die,perhaps shouldnt be consumed but a man who is 300 lbs of solid muscle from a life of hard work.common sense folks.before u do a drug reserch it.extensively.determine if it is right for you!ensure the health risks arent unacceptably risky.and i an not talking only about 'street' drugs.this applies to big pharma's synthetic ''we got a pill to make u sleep,to make u happy,mask your symtoms because curing the sick wont make us money.sorry for the grammatical abortion that was this comment.and please have a good day

• Definitely got dosed with that shit on the anniversary a few weeks ago in arcata, it wasn't so bad. Just raged and stayed up all night

• Definitely got dosed with that shit on the aniversary a few weeks ago in arcata, not that bad just stayed up all night and raged

• AHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHA acid is awesome, these weeners are, well...weeners.

• It seems as though I'm being accused of being an "MCR," though I'm not sure what that means. Sorry that I called that guy a fucking retard, but was he not acting like one? I didn't know you guys were close enough to have your own lingo. Christ.

• Yea which one is mcr I must have missed something?

• Nope, sorry, don't know who or what you're talking about.

• Wait wait, did I miss something?!?! Bianca is mcr? Or is it someone else?

• Ha! I've met the infamous MCR??? I feel so lucky to have been wiki'd by her lol :D yea me!

• someone broke the rule again...

• I knew that was you, MCR. The insta-bitterness and quickness with an insult is a dead giveaway. Welcome back, but it's been wonderfully peaceable since you've been gone. So if you're gonna start insulting people and calling them "fucking retards," you're gonna get banned again.

• No- you're making an added butt ache for Pete--why do you think your sad little remark was removed Captain infallible?

• Sorry, but if some moron is going to attempt to insult the intelligence of everyone here, when really he's the one lacking in that department, I'm going to call him out on being a fucking retard. Because he is.

• Try recovery it works if you work it!

• &#64;Tripper Ya that's what we thought. "trip safely" Out in the middle of no where in a cabin away from people. We were out side standing on a log and giggling at nature. I was the baby sitter. I went inside to use the bathroom and I came out-- the firewood pit open and the chairs knocked over. I called out, no answer. I started searching the perimeter and found where some tall grass looked as if it'd been walked thru. I had no clue the river was so close. Those idiots tried to go on a canoe ride and it sank. One could not swim. Digging for my very good friend in freezing water (it was October in the waaay north) amidst logs and tons of leaves was not easy. They'd run into a dam of accidental branch gathering. You'd be surprised how a slimy thick branch can feel like a human limb. And every log/branch I moved was sending up bubbles. The other tripper kept staring saying "THERE he is" and pointing. I kept grabbing him and shouting THIS IS REAL . I never found my friend. I was afraid of hypothermia as I could feel the early signs of getting dumb. So I had to give up and call 911. While I was dealing with the police the other one jumped out on the opposite side of the river (I had to pull him to the edge and that was the closest) and he ran off into the woods- thats when things got really ugly There is no SAFE way to do drugs

• &#64;Bianca wow that's rude of you, no need for name calling

• &#64;Richard, HAHA you got pwnd.

• interesting how he turned from a 31 year old to a 21 year old. but none of you were reading that carefully huh

• drugs and sex and greed will destroy people who are behind in religion and ethics .

• &#64;SDC can you point me in the direction of some evidence to that assertion? any other theories about where/how it might be produced. It's been a while since I studied the subject, but the pineal gland was pretty widely accepted as the source within our brains a few years ago. Thanks in advance

• I would not define that as harmless in the same sense that I do not define alcohol as safe. Anything that warps or demotes your sense of judgment is not harmless. If you would never cut off your own testicles while sober, how could you define the act of cutting your damn balls off under the influence of (bad) LSD harmless?

• &#64;Omar I find it pretty funny how some people seem to have no concept of grammar, yet I don't complain. Perhaps you should stop writing because you are completely inexperienced.

• I find it funny how many people are ignorant towards the effect of LSD. There is no "bad" LSD, it is either lysergic acid diethylamide or it is not. if the formula is changed then it is NOT acid! The drug isn't to blame, but the people. And it is these irresponsible fucks who ruin it for everyone else. I have done acid numerous times, as well as DOb passed off as acid. And never have I wanted to chop off my balls or do anything drastic. For those quick to judge when they haven't tried it, stfu cause you have absolutely zero idea what you are talking about because you are completely inexperienced.

• There's no such thing as "bad acid" in the sense that the LSD was "made wrong." Impurities that persist in the process of making LSD most definitely would not have an effect on the trip itself. When someone says "bad acid," it typically just means that the batch has been cut with some other substance. Like Tripper said, this sounds like the batch of LSD had a little (or a lot) of PCP in it (or it was just PCP labelled as LSD). Wandering in the forest for 8 hours with no shoes on is definitely in the realm of possibility for an LSD craze - throwing yourself at the pavement and cutting off your balls is, in my opinion, not.

• John - the air force still uses a modified version of speed for their combat pilots (when pulling an extremely long mission)

• &#64;notadumbass I totally was thinking the same thing. Sounds like PCP. With PCP, you don't have a ground -you don't know that you are hallucinating. The funny thing about LSD is when you are seeing/hearing/thinking something bizarre, you always know you it is only the acid and it isn't real, even if you have a panic attack from a bad trip. I have seen this kind of situation before when people are given PCP but told it is LSD. Arcata Shwilly Kids!

• It's all fun until someone loses their balls...

• &#64;jojo There is no evidence that DMT is produced in the Pineal gland. That is a theory, and a theory that is quickly losing steam, despite what Joe Rogan says. It IS endogenous to mammalian tissue, we just dont know why and how yet.

• Dude, is this stuff any good? It's so good you'll cut your balls off. I'll take 3 please. And I'd be willing to bet 2 sheets of blotter that this wasn't acid, it was something else entirely.

• All these kids needed was a Grateful Dead concert to get their heads straight. Jerry Saves!

• It's everywhere. Your just not looking hard enough.

• Man I wish I could find acid on the East Coast :(

• &#64; jojo shrooms are not poison. theyre incredibly not poisonous actually. unless you are talking about shrooms like amanita muscara- which are actually poisionous. what people commonly call magic mushrooms mostly belong to the class of psilocybin mushrooms. which are not at all poisionous and entirely safe to eat. that said some similar looking shrooms are poisionous- so make sure you know what your eating. :)

• Acid is mild compared to DMT. DMT is naturally produced by the brain. it is made in the pineal gland. you cant get away from it. as for acid and bad trips. its all psychological. if you are in a bad mood you are more than likely to have a bad trip. and vice versa. LSD is great. Peyote is great. DMT is the best. shroom are litterally a poison you are ingesting in large quantities. Shrooms are bad.

• Talk about bad trip. I pity the victims. Do they really deserve this?

• Don't blame LSD it's a great chemical. Blame people who are ignorant and take it without being prepared and just want to get wasted. Just because it isn't in your culture doesn't mean it is wrong or bad. There are people functioning in society quiet well that experiments with other mind altering substances than you are use to. Chances are the ones you use are more dangerous to your heath than the illicit ones. How many people have done really screwed up things when they were drunk? I bet you would blame the person doing the stupid thing more than you would the booze.

• It sounds like Humboldt County has got A whole bunch of acid going through there atm so of course they are going to have a few people coming into the ER freaking out. If my town got a big supply of acid and everyone was buying it then we would most likely see just as many noobs in the ER as well.

• This is the reason why I stay with good ol' Mary Jane. On the psychological side of this, though, there is never any predicting whether one goes on a good trip or a bad trip. Not to mention the whole seeing things that aren't there, and yeah, the possibility of going on a bad trip and chopping your balls off... OUCH! Just stay away from acid next time.

• Russell said: Why anyone would allow a chemical to take control of their brain just escapes me. I say: A poorly understood cocktail of powerful chemicals controls your brain all the time, and there's nothing you can do about it. And before you tell me "well that's natural," no... many of your brain's chemical processes are triggered by your environment. If you live like a typical civilized man, then there's nothing natural about your environment. tl/dr, who cares? I resent your attempt to disparage other people for their divergence from your own faulty personal morality.

• You idiots seriously believe it was the acid? The kid was obviously screwed up from the get go. You don't get bad acid that MAKES you do anything. You get acid that makes you trip and YOU are still responsible for being that retarded. Blaming the drug for the kid having a bad trip is ignorant. It sounds like he had GOOD acid but couldn't handle it. He should have had a shaman or a sitter with him. Responsible people don't trip alone. It's the equivalent of not having a designated driver. Yes you all do drugs as well, LSD is just a different one.

• Drugs are fun.

• Russel: Your brain is controlled by nothing but chemicals to begin with. Tripping LSD merely mimics and stimulates chemicals already present in any regular functioning brain. Tripping a few times over the course of several years with LSD that you know has been produced right can be incredibly beneficial, and change your life for the better. Not saying it is for everyone, though.

• They are describing PcP, not acid. Avoid Pcp like the plague, if you must try acid, make sure you do in the company of friends(one person in the group should remain sober), in a safe place you plan on staying for 12 hours.

• Yeah, its general consensus around Humboldt, its a good thing the testicles guy removed himself from the gene pool and that he should totally get a Darwin Award. Note: He's from freakin Tennessee, NOT Humboldt. One local guys thinks they're testing a new drug on us Humboldtians. Maybe. Maybe its just bad weed! Hahahah!! To all the people who think shrooms are still okay, well, don't do em in Humboldt County (or Del Norte), you might torture your best friend to death. "Murder suspect is charged with mayhem, torture" http://www.triplicate.com/20100324108541/News/Local-News/Murder-suspect-is-charged-with-mayhem-torture

• Hey Russell-from my experiences it was more of an enhancing kind of thing, maybe a little boredom too but all we ever did on it was laugh like hell for 8 hours or so. Nothing like in this article. That's what mushrooms do also, just makes you laugh like crazy then you go to sleep for a while. Like pot but a little stronger.

• Why anyone would allow a chemical to take control of their brain just escapes me.

• Darwin Award for the first guy for removing his genes from the pool.

• I've done acid a few times but it was back when you could trust what you were buying and whom you bought it from. Not anymore apparently...but mushrooms were always the best way to go if you were looking for some enlightenment.

• Holy sh&@!!! That's some painful stuff. Those acid-heads are tools. So retarded, lol makes you wonder what will come up next. I wanna find out what they find in a couple weeks. LOL

• Shrooms, good one. In reality, I'm too cheap to do drugs. I prefer to waste my money on my $$$ shoe habit.

• Mushrooms are the way to go-

• Some people advocating legalizing marijuana and some support legalizing it all. It appears that if we legalize it that we would have to regulate dosage and purity. If someone violated dosage, they would still be in jail for a "drug" related crime. Plus there still would be bootlegging. Too much fun! NOT! Chewing coca leaves is one thing. Getting purified crap is another. The Army air force gave out speed in WWII. They backed off. I am sure they had pure stuff with quality controls. If they wanted better soldiers and they back off shouldn't we take that as a warning?

• Well I suppose of the toilet backs up we know why...

• Either way, it seems wise to avoid buying acid AT ALL.

• Note to self. Stick to buying acid on the East coast.
