Student cuts off penis and tongue after drinking hallucinogenic tea
A student cut off his own penis and his tongue after drinking an infusion of the latest drugs craze to sweep Germany.
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.
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.
"Datura (Jimpson Weed, Angels Trumpet, Devils Weed)
Recognized especially by their striking, trumpet shaped flowers, Daturas grow world wide through all warm and tropic climates. There are many species of Datura varying in height from 3 - 10 feet, all sharing the stunning flowers.
Datura produce unusual, distinctive walnut sized seed pods covered with spikes. It has been used in every area in which it is known, in rites of passage and in diverse forms of Shamanism.
A very powerful Shamanic tool, it was sometimes said to take years of navigating the spiritual worlds to be ready to learn from Datura and in many cultures its use was forbidden to all but the high priests."
Well gosh, this alternative recreational drug obviously should be legalized and taxed, because SURELY kids who cut off body parts with garden shears are the exception.
</bitter sarcasm>
This kid has just ruined his entire existence. There are no words. I wonder if anyone else will decide that playing with this stuff is not such a good idea?
A good tool for the job. (But a bad job for the tool.)
If God were female, she'd have put a man's penis on his chin...
She already has. See #80.
While it is annoying stepping on the darned thing all the time, this solution is a little too radical.
That's for certain. I don't recall Castaneda's Don Juan using it. Didn't he stick with the mushrooms and peyote?
Can you tie it in a knot?
Can you tie it in a bow?
Do you sling it over your shoulder,
like a Continental soldier?
(apologies for freely adapted lyric)
This doesn't show causative effect at all.
People who are prone to cut off their privates are simply braver about sampling various kinds of tea.
LMAO!!!
What are the chances of such idiots succesfully evolving in the first place?
I think we are all grateful that He did not.
Can you just imagine if the Three Stooges were on duty at the hospital where this kid was admitted and they in their rush mixed up the cut-off parts and sewed the tip of his tongue on his penis and his penis on his tongue???
That dude would have one happy girlfriend ;-)
