LSD caused four violent episodes, Santa Cruz sheriff says
San Jose Mercury News ^ | December 25, 2016 | Michael Todd

Four instances of violent behavior in Santa Cruz County over one month have been attributed to ingested LSD, according to the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office.

The string of incidents began with the Nov. 19 case of Luke Smith, 15, who was fatally shot by a sheriff’s deputy after he stabbed his father and uncle in Corralitos.

A fifth report documented a 17-year-old girl who ingested LSD on an ice pop in Felton on Dec. 14. That girl had a seizure and nearly died because of the drug, said Sgt. Chris Clark, the sheriff’s office spokesman.

The office is investigating the origins of the drug, Clark said. “We know this stuff is probably still out there,” Clark said.

The reports spanned Nov. 19 to Dec. 19.

“It was a trend we noticed following Luke Smith’s death,” Clark said. “Four out of the five we’ve seen over the last month involved some level of violence on the part of the person who took it.”

Maybe not LSD but something like 25C-NBOMe sold as LSD. Phenylethyl derivatives like DOB or “NBomb” can be sold as LSD and if the local cops don’t do an analysis they will rely on the person they nab for an ID- the guy I bought it from said it was acid.

Did a quick literature check and almost all cases of death and or violent behavior due to hallucinogen use where the drug is positively identified is linked to 25I-NBOMe and 25C-NBOMe, not LSD. Some have been due to bromodragonfly or 2C-Fly.

Naturally the end user has, usually, no clue what’s in the blotter, cap, or pill and no control of dose. once you hook it down, THEN you see what the effects are.

Nice, the Nancy Pelosi approach to dosing. Pass it to see what’s in it.

I’ll second that! And then we’ll outlaw banks and everything with sharp edges.
