It's not a party unless your doctor gets a whole paper out of it
"intoxicated from intranasal cocaine administration" is such a hilariously sterile way to say it.
I actually appreciated that they put in the "intranasal" because it would have made way more sense without it.
A WAT. Y THO
cocaine.
Well, alright then.
In order to extract the various minerals, obviously.
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.
I'm into both and I still can't explain what he was thinking.
Username checks out
Well, some people should not do drugs. It can cause all kinds of conditions that you may have genetic predispositions for.
One notable case: drug-induced psychosis which causes (among others) delusions and severe confusion. Sounds like one might pour a deadly acid in their ass when delusional and severely confused.
Well I guess I’ll cancel mine then

The answer as to why is in the abstract: dude was flying on coke.
I've done a whole 8-ball in one night. Coke doesn't make you stupid or blow out your inhibitions. This guy was something special to begin with.
I was trying to poop and now I can't. I deserve this for scrolling on the toilet.
Sounds like you could use an enema.
I wonder was he ever able to get his ostomy reversed since they did just Hartmans, or did the acid also destroy all the anal muscles and all that, preventing it. Yeesh what an interesting and horrid way to fuck up your life
Jeeesus they picked the most active possible in amazed they're not just instant dead
if it was left untreated, the necrotic colon wouldve caused sepsis due to secondary bacterial infection.
Surprised he didn’t win a Darwin Award for this one!
How is this cunt alive? And how concentrated is "concentrated"
I heard about boofing from.the Darwin Awards before, but that was for vodka and the guy did it died because of alcohol poisoning to earn it. This one seems to raised the bar and lived to tell the tale of acid boofing. Which makes me wonder how many interesting people we share this beautiful world...
In 1993 I went to a apprenticeship school for the union I belonged to. The very first class was alcohol and drug awareness taught by a eighty something ex alcoholic who told us about butt chugging. It was basically how to get drunk and hide it from others 101. I know of a few people who have tried it. I guess they just wanted something up their ass.
No fucking way
intranasal cocaine administration
It always makes me smile seeing technical language used to describe ridiculous stuff. It's almost comforting. Like, even if you snort a bunch of cocaine and then pour hydrofluoric acid in your ass, the medical system isn't going to have any trouble describing or documenting it. They've seen worse.
This paper is apparently referenced in the Wikipedia page for HF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofluoric_acid#cite_ref-28
Cases of intestinal damage from contact with hydrofluoric acid requiring surgical intervention are rare but known in medical literature
Jeez, I was sure this was AI, but sure enough it’s on pubmed https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8420252/
