There appears to be some very nasty acid traveling the streets of Arcata, California, which has led police to issue a warning. It began April 18, when cops responded to an emergency call at the home of a 31-year-old man on a very bad trip...
It seems he'd gotten the idea that his balls contained "monsters," according to the Times-Standard. So he castrated himself and flushed his testicles down the toilet to rid himself of the supposed demons.
On May 8, weirdness took place again, as a 21-year-old man spent two days wandering in the forest without his shoes before returning home. And the day after that police were called to a hospital to subdue a 19-year-old suffering from nasty flashbacks from an acid trip he'd made two weeks earlier.
Two days later, police found an 18-year-old hurling himself to the pavement in the middle of the street.
There have been other weird incidents around Humboldt County, but since police haven't been able to get a sample of the acid in question, they're not sure if it's simply a bad batch produced by non-union manufacturers, or if there's been a spike of lightweights who can't hold their drugs. We're guessing the former.
Either way, it seems wise to avoid buying acid around Humboldt County for the foreseeable future.
