Florida man on LSD tackles Disney security guard at Animal Kingdom
Orlando Sentinel ^ | November 18, 2020 | Matthew Moyer

Years worth of jokes and boasts about visiting Disney whilst tripping – we're thinking especially of a Simpsons episode where Lisa Simpson had a bad trip on a ride that seems suspiciously like It's A Small World – went drastically wrong when a South Florida man on acid tackled a Disney security guard at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park.

Unlike the Disneyland Paris visitor last year who took some LSD and simply got naked and went for a wander, James Arvid, 19, was arrested after tackling a security guard at DinoLand U.S.A. last month. Arvid later admitted to authorities that he was on LSD at the time of the incident.

As reported by the Orlando Sentinel, the arrest report describes Arvid as sneaking up on the uniformed security guard from behind, tacking him and putting him in a headlock. Park visitors then intervened and subdued Arvid until authorities arrived.

Arvid was restrained on a stretcher and taken to a nearby Celebration hospital for evaluation. "I took LSD and tried to kill someone," he told a nurse who was attending to him.

Arvid has been charged with the felony of battery on a security guard, and banned from all Disney property.

“LSD and Animal Kingdom...what could possibly go wrong”.

That’s what I came on here to post, but then I read the article, and apparently it’s a thing.

When I was in the navy in Orlando, we had a young fire control tech that went missing from muster for 3 days,

They found him, 1st they found his shoes, then his socks.
The trail eventually led to his naked body in a field.

Eventually he recalled finding this pasture full of pysolcibin mushrooms and he just started eating LOL true story

One time a cop I know had to fight a guy on an LSD trip. He ran into a public park, grabbed a three-year-old and tried to drag it away. The mom freaked out, other people called 911. The cop said the skinny little kid had the strength of 10 men, and somehow the fight wound up inside the police car. He said the weirdest thing is that the entire time he was yelling out colors, blue!! red! yellow!! green! Eventually he was able to get him handcuffed through the steering wheel.
Later, at the hospital, when the kid was back to his senses. He said he had believed the three-year-old was his younger brother and was trying to take him home. He thought the mother was trying to steal his little brother from him.
Spooky drug.

I was in love with a girl on LSD
She’d see things I’d never see
She broadened her perspective
Then I got more selective
I was in love with a girl on LSD

Acid absorbs 10,000 times it’s own weight in excess reality...

Tums don’t help.

Live 2 hours north of Disney world so our high school senior trip was there (1978). Heard a million stories about people getting busted smoking pot while riding through the haunted house....so my partner JUST HAD to give it a shot. Sure enough as we were going through this DW employee literally pounced on the car we were in with a flashlight threatening to turn us in if we didn’t turn over everything we had. The stories were all true....what a trip. Lol

Same reason mushrooms had such a prominent place in Allman Brothers album art. Capricorn Records was in Macon, lots of cow pastures in a warm moist environment nearby.
