Whoa! The poor victim will obviously have a painful disfigurement and blindness the rest of their life to remind them of this drug episode. The attacker lost all higher mental function and was operating on only the primitive brainstem, a true predator, and was killed like the wild animal he was. How tragic and bizzare and sadly preventable.

I've seen a few things on this already, but really this could provide an interesting new advertising campaign for the war on LSD.

What makes a naked man, eat another naked man's face? Well, aside from hunger.

Some sort of home spun hallucinogenic they call bath salts... oh my.

That's really not funny. You should be ashamed for making jokes about that.

Bath salts isn't really a straight up hallucinogen like LSD, I don't know why the article describes it that way, but causes hallucinations much in the same way as PCP, not by causing stimulation of receptors but by inhibiting intraneural communication (like extreme sensory deprivation). There are a couple of different compounds that are referred to as bath salts but to my knowledge they all do that and at least one of them is also a pretty intense stimulant, which can lead to increased aggression and overheating. They were probably doing drugs together and that is why they were naked and then some small thing caused the one guy to completely lose his shit.

But from what I've heard, the toxicology report isn't even back yet, everyone is just guessing at which drug was used.

True but there really are only a few substances that are typically involved in a person continuing doing the crazy shit they are doing while being shot multiple times and even fewer that result in behavior as extreme as eating another person's face.

Are you taking into account laced drugs?

Yes, I mean it could have been like mdma laced with pcp or something but that would be a hell of a lot less common than bath salts

Well this wasn't exactly a common news story, perhaps the rarity of the drug, matches the rarity of the reaction.

Extreme violent reactions to bath salts (especially violent crimes committed while nude) are getting to be rather common in certain regions, including Florida, though the stories may not be making their way to your area as few of them are interesting enough to go beyond local news. Eating someone's face isn't exactly common but instances of people mauling and biting other people while nude coupled with an apparent inability to understand or communicate while seeming to not register any pain are well documented.

I should also point out that it isn't like the guy was actively eating the other guy's face, he was attacking him with every available weapon including his teeth, there is nothing to show that he was chewing and swallowing what he bit off. There have also been people who said that the cops and medics were slow to assist the injured man due to fear of "OMG zombies!" but the truth is that they are frequently attacked by the people they are trying to help, and the risk is intensified that much more when they are on something like bath salts, so they have to be extremely careful when dealing with these kinds of things.

From some of the sources I've seen, they said that when he turned his head to growl the officer saw him swallowing.

That actually would make sense even if that was the only bit that swallowed, it is a natural reaction to clear the mouth before making any vocalizations and swallowing is my far the most common way for a person to clear their mouth. The only alternative would be to spit out whatever is in their mouth and spitting is a learned behavior not an instinctive one so that would have actually been weirder.

Not only that but if there is liquid in your mouth, including someone's blood, then you would instinctively swallow that as well even if it isn't something that you are actively consuming.

No no of course not I completely disagree with that concept, I would never argue with anyone, and I challenge you to prove me otherwise

Actually I'd just really like the toxicology report as opposed to all these differing arguments I've heard about, leaving me with conflicting information. So instead I'm just trying to pry open any possibilities that might be out there, not really settling on any of them just adding them to a list of what it might be. Given my lack of direct experience with drugs I have no basis for settling.

Why on gods fucking green earth would anyone take chances on a drug like this? It falls into the same category as crocodile does.... clown shoes. It makes me genuinely angry, sad, and more depressed about humankind than I ever was.

The Tox report is finally in! Unfortunately the news is not good, as the only drug he tested positive for, was Pot. So what now?.... Does this mean that pot is bad, or was the pot laced with something? If it was laced with something would that something specifically show up on the tox report or would it just fall under a general category of pot.

All in all, in spite of saying I would keep an open mind as to the possibilities, I'm still quite surprised.

The thing is is that if he was on something uncommon and they didn't test for it, they wouldn't know.

Some people get high off of really weird things and it takes a long time to figure out. Like inhaling hair spray was a thing here at one time.

So pretty much we know even less about what he was on than we did before? (well other than now knowing what he wasn't on)

Perhaps it's a good thing I'm finally downloading and watching the x files from start to finish(currently on season 4), so I'm more experienced with and prepared to handle inconclusive endings.
