Youth drinks drugged tea, cuts off doinker and tongue
2003-09-23
Hat tip: Drudge.
A student cut off his own penis and his tongue after drinking an infusion of the latest drugs craze to sweep Germany.
Wonder what he was a student of?
The 18-year-old, only named as Andreas W, from Halle in Germany drank a tea made with the hallucinogenic angels’ trumpet plants. His mother said: "Andreas was behaving normally the whole day until he left the house and disappeared into the garden for a couple of minutes." When he returned to the house he was wearing a towel wrapped around him and was bleeding heavily from his mouth and between his legs. The emergency doctor who arrived a few minutes later said the student had cut off his penis and his tongue with garden shears and it was impossible to reattach the organs.
Sounds like he wanted to stick around to see what happened after he departed the gene pool...
Dr Andreas Marneros, from the local psychiatric hospital the student was admitted to, said: "Andreas will have to receive psychological help for years. Tea from Angels’ Trumpets is extremely dangerous as the drug cannot be dosed." Angels’ Trumpets, known for their fragrant and trumpet shaped flowers, have increasingly become popular as an alternative drug in Germany.
This stuff must be incredibly potent--I mean, he couldn’t cut off both organs at once, so he must have been numbed out enough to do one then the other... Scary sh*t! What are the chances this guy will wind up committing suicide in the end?

#14  It will be intresting to see what the social reation to this will be. I don't understand how he could get much of his tongue off with garden shears, but will the EU restrict the sale of shears small enough for a drugged teenager to perform tounge trimming with? Maybe the solution will be to require unremovable helmets with facemasks for druggies. The pecker protector will have to include elements of a mideval chastity belt and some 50 mm diameter wire mesh hose (and I know hose let me tell you.)

This incident and all the discussion of Jock Sheetrock reminded me of this tragedy from several months ago.

#13  What I want to know is... which cut did he try first? "Hmmm... that didn't hurt much, let's try another..." just doesn't seem to cover it.

#11  I recommend we start a fund and buy shit loads of this stuff then donate it to Islamo countries. Within one generation the world will be a better place.
Cut the wacker: no more reproduction
Cut the tongue: no more indoctrination in Mosques
Cut the hands: no more shooting infidels

Who's with me on this

#5  Has anyone else seen the DARE commercial where all the kids talk about the crazy stuff they have done on drugs? Then the last girl's crazy experience was having unprotected sex and contracting the AIDS virus. Then all the kids stop laughing and there is silence.

Well now they can tack this guy's story on the end. Someone will say, "hey, Gunter what funny stuff have you done on drugs?"
And he can say, " uhumma mya wickan. Michwa dunnah." Then we can all laugh again.

#1  Datura is bad news - I remember in college, when Carlos Castanedas' "Travels with Don Juan" book series came out, there was a run on datura, based on the drug use described in the books with the spiritual hallucinations outlined
