Could the derp FF killers be hopped up on henbane?

Great catch Mel.

I have looked into the ancient use of Henbane. Found some interesting theories to do with Henbane and the Witches broom.

In my opinion Witches and Warlocks and their victims never leave the ground except in their minds. The Craft is just so much misdirection and “smoke and mirrors” in the very suspicious minds among us. Very much like dimwit’s aging playbooks.

If witches and warlocks were going to influence and use young boy and girl “derps” they would be smart to get access to early childhood and medical records to recruit the most susceptible to groom and program.

Then one would need gingerbread cakes/candy fun houses and tea parties to gain access, hook and draw the liddle ones through a looking glass.

Excerpts-

It started with bread.

In the Europe of the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance, bread was made, in large part, with rye. And rye and rye-like plants can host fungus—ergot*—that can, when consumed in high doses, be lethal. In smaller doses, however, ergot can be a powerful hallucinogen. Records from the 14th to the 17th century mention Europeans’ affliction with “dancing mania,” which found groups of people dancing through streets—often speaking nonsense and foaming at the mouth as they did so—until they collapsed from exhaustion. Those who experienced the “mania” would later describe the wild visions that accompanied it. (In the 20th century, Albert Hofmann would realize the psychedelic effects of LSD while studying ergot.)

So people, as people are wont to do, adapted this knowledge, figuring out ways to tame ergot, essentially, for hallucinatory purposes. And they experimented with other plants, as well. Forbes’s David Kroll notes that there are also hallucinogenic chemicals in Atropa belladonna (deadly nightshade), Hyoscyamus niger (henbane), Mandragora officinarum (mandrake), and Datura stramonium (jimsonweed). Writing in the 16th century, the Spanish court physician Andrés de Laguna claimed to have taken “a pot full of a certain green ointment … composed of herbs such as hemlock, nightshade, henbane, and mandrake” from the home of a couple accused of witchcraft.

So why do the brooms fit into this? Because to achieve their hallucinations, these early drug users needed a distribution method that was a little more complicated than simple ingestion. When consumed, those old-school hallucinogens could cause assorted unpleasantnesses—including nausea, vomiting, and skin irritation. What people realized, though, was that absorbing them through the skin could lead to hallucinations that arrived without the unsavory side effects. And the most receptive areas of the body for that absorption were the sweat glands of the armpits ... and the mucus membranes of the genitals.

So people used their developing pharmacological knowledge to produce drug-laden balms—or, yep, “witch’s brews.” And to distribute those salves with maximum effectiveness, these crafty hallucinators borrowed a technology from the home: a broom. Specifically, the handle of the broom. And then ... you get the idea...

End Excerpts-

I take this to mean that the - means of external application as detailed would help to overcome first-pass hepatic metabolism as would occur with oral ingestion.

I won’t excerpt anymore here. It is an interesting if not vulgar theory none the less, so the more curious may read more at the links.

I will never look at Halloween the same way.

The dancing mania mentioned is so strange. I have been digging in the hole of the red shoes (forced to dance until dead) fairytale off and on for a while. Like so much else the red shoes have been outside my notice forever. But not anymore.

Nah they have improved on henbane with things like Prozac. I think they are all taking drugs like Prozac and some are being manipulated - possibly by whatever program replaced MK Ultra.

Prozac and similar drugs have known side effects of Homicidal or suicidal ideation. Used to be in the warnings. More recently, IIRC, the manufacturers simply dropped the Homicidal, but left the suicidal warning.
