TAMPA --

A family of four was hospitalized after ingesting meat laced with LSD bought from Wal-Mart on Monday, Tampa police said.

Tampa Police Chief Jane Castor said during a news conference on Thursday that the family, including a pregnant mother, her two children and her boyfriend, started experiencing hallucinations, dizziness, rapid heart rates and difficulty breathing shortly after dinner.

The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner's Office determined the family consumed bottom round steak bought from a Wal-Mart located at 1505 N. Dale Mabry in Tampa, which was contaminated with LSD.

LSD? I doubt this can be tested for so quickly.

I sure hope that we don’t find out it was the anti-Wal-Mart unions who did this to replicate the old Tylenol scare. I’m sure it’ll turn out to be a “lone gunman” as it were.

I hope the baby is unharmed.

Tracheal intubation

That does explain why my hamburger started screaming as I bit into it.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Imagine giving birth on LSD.

[A CA Guy]

Someone spiked it to cause problems for WalMart.

[SatinDoll]

Does anyone else suspect the folks who bought the meat did it themselves in order to sue Walmart?

At this point, police say it is not clear if a crime has occurred.

in what scenario would LSD-laced bottom round steak be legal?

[A CA Guy]

I don't think it was the ones in the hospital that did it, I think some wise @ss where they pack it did that and the victims were random.

I was under the impression that heat renders LSD harmless.
[that is what I was told, many years ago, anyway]

I have no personal knowledge of such things so maybe somebody a bit savvier could verify.

Are you sure the cow had been slaughtered already? :-)

[JennysCool]

I suspect that sort of thing every time a story like this pops up. And nine times out of 10 it’s a hoax.

Coming soon...a new trend involving steak/eyeball related injuries and a new cut of Beef called “LD50”..

[Norm Lenhart]

And lots of Psytrance/Techno played in Butcher shops...

[dagogo redux]

Really hard to get good stuff for decades now. 350 mcg of “Purple Owsley” would make one hell of a steak.

“I was under the impression that heat renders LSD harmless.”

It does.

[Squawk 8888]

I didn’t know you could buy LSD at Walmart.

[Salamander]

*Whew!*

Good.

Now I don’t have to become a vegetarian, under duress...:)
