Ok so being a chemistry ignorant as I am, I went to Wikipedia to read about this acid, thinking it was probably a very common household item sold under a different name or perhaps a very common drug with a different street name, you get it. But it's not. It's just some acid used in a variety of industry processes.

Why on earth would anyone, even on drugs, think an enema with acid is something they need to experience? I've never done cocaine and I'm also not into painful anal stuff so if you are into either and care to explain I'd really appreciate it.

Maybe a bizarre suicide attempt by someone with some chemistry knowledge?

If someone had some knowledge of chemistry/biology they'd expect it to be agonising pain

Yeah that's the bizarre part. If you are picking this very specific acid you either stole it without knowing anything about it or you know exactly what it is. Both equally puzzling
