Friends told investigators, Koffi tried to leave the house around 8 pm, punched a woman at the house, stabbed a man with a pencil and choked another man.

He got out of the house, into his rental car and backed into a parked car before crashing into the garage of their rented house.

Koffi then ran down the street until a security guard stopped him.

Investigators say he picked up a landscaping stake and stabbed the security guard with it, before knocking him to the ground.

Koffi then got into the security guard's truck and sped toward a man and a woman who were walking by, hitting them both.

Then, police say Koffi drove off the road and toward another couple who were standing on a bluff, hitting that woman.

Investigators say Koffi kept driving, into a wall and through yards.

A CHP officer and Sonoma County Sheriff's Deputy got there about the same time and say Koffi tried to run down both officers.

The deputy fired several shots when Koffi wouldn't stop.

Investigators say at least three bullets hit him through the windshield of the security guard's truck.

He's lucky he didn't kill anyone.

That's the worst "bad trip" I've ever heard of, BTW (possibly barring the one's where the tripper dies).

Yeah, I would have thought it was something more like PCP if every source on the internet didn't say it was LSD.

The linked article goes on to say "The two women he's accused of running down are hospitalized with serious injuries, but both are expected to recover, along with the stabbed security guard."
So nobody was paralyzed.
But no, I would never blame anyone for something they did in a genuine psychotic state.

Technically you dont even black out on hallucinogens, you remember everything but just experience it in a surreal altered state of consciousness. So hell likely live with these memories, just the trippy [even more] horrifying version of it all.

Well, he took 2, then 2 more. But there's no telling what kind of delusions he was acting under once he started tripping. And there's no standardization of LSD, so there's also no actual way of knowing how potent the tabs(?) he took were.

LSD absolutely does cause psychotic breaks, but it generally doesn't stimulate anger and aggression, which is why this event is so unusual.

For all we know, he really did think he was "inside a video game" like GTA...

Acid doesn't really make you freak out like that, so it sounds like he was on some other shit. Sure, you can have a bad trip, but it usually results in you running away and hiding rather than going on a rampage.

All banning LSD has accomplished, is that you have no idea how much you're taking, or even if your "acid" is LSD at all instead of PCP or rat poison or something.

my thoughts as well.

sounds more like PCP or bath salts. or maybe an RC being sold as LSD.

edit:

They were able to calm him down, but a short time later Koffi took two additional hits of LSD and that's when things got out of control.

again, that doesn't sound like LSD. your body builds a tolerance to LSD rather quickly. if you take two tabs and then take two more again shortly after, the second dose won't have anywhere near the same impact as the first. you typically need to wait at least two weeks between doses to achieve the same effect using the same amount.

I've never tried it myself. A part of me wants to buy a part of me is like nah fuck that. I've done other things that are hallucinatory and I had bad experiences. Nothing extreme, but like, i didn't have a good time.
