We have all heard the true stories-unbelievable and gruesome failures to stop, the stuff of zombie movies. Usual behavior ranges from disassociation (staring at the wall, basically comatose) to bizarre acts similar to the seizures of temporal lobe epileptics(nudity, climbing furnature, jumping from windows or trying to float in water).
However there are the petty crooks on dust, who out of the blue(no previous violence*), commit a 7-11 holdup and decide to shoot it out with responding officers. Taking dozens of COM hits with zero effect. Getting their forearm blown off at the elbow and using it to club the EMT's working on him. Or the enraged ones who wanna go barehanded, and 8 grown men cannot overpower. It's pretty scary stuff to think about, particularly if all you have to rely on is a handgun. 1982 was the year this crap was the thing. As far as what I've read, today, the drug is particular to specific cities (such as DC, NY, Buffalo, St. Louis, and the major cities in CA). And as a boost to low grade pot, not so much requested or purchased itself. I have never known anyone who knew anyone who did it. Is it still a common street drug in your estimation, and do these ridiculous situations still go on.
I've read of a chemical produced in the brain of those using cocaine and alcohol together called cocaethelyne(sp?), which makes a person incapacitation/death proof, beyond PCP, outside of being laid on their chest or hogtied (which will suffocate them). A lot of people do blow and every one of them drinks with it. Probably no superhuman strength stuff, but that being impervious to pain, and a seeming removal of the body's death instinct let alone self preservation.
Just something I was thinking about, how common is it that you guys or civilians have to deal with whacked out dust heads.
*I recall a film in school where this hippy woke up in a cell, bewildered to be in jail, no memory of how he came to be locked up. They asked if he used drugs and he said weed occasionally. They told him apparantly his last bag was laced with PCP and while out he had decapitated his two year old kid.
