Not exactly true. While face eating isn't exactly a predictable outcome, heavy, prolonged stimulant (read: cocaine and methamphetamine) abuse can induce severe psychotic episodes. How different people react to such episodes is probably the result of a combination of personality traits and underlying mental conditions, but this incident isn't that unbelievable. Some dude in an episode of methamphetamine induced psychosis, I believe, decapitated his son and threw the head out of his truck window on the interstate because he believed that his son had been possessed by the devil. There was a pretty grisly incident at my undergraduate university in 2005 where a guy, likely experiencing cocaine psychosis, along with another girl shot his girlfriend in the head, tried to dismember her in the bathtub with a hacksaw, got about halfway through, gave up and tried to flee to mexico. Stimulant psychosis can make people do some weeeeeird shit.

Small world! I used to go to parties all the time where Colton was shroomed out of his mind. Strange kid. Wannabe coke dealer too...

Yup. We ran with a lot of the same crowd, though I never actually hung out with him. Might have met him once, not sure, my memories of that period in my life are a little...hazy. But yeah, he was a wannabe peddler of lots of stuff, and even prior to that incident was prone to aggression and general assholishness. He pulled a gun on an acquaintance of mine not too long before the whole thing at the apartment, maybe even the same gun? I do know at the time of the murder he was pretty deep off into cocaine and xanax, so a psychotic episode would be a pretty plausible explanation of what happened.

For sure. I'm always surprised at just how much of a small community the ATX feels like some times.

Umm.. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say NO drug is gonna make you strip bare naked and eat someone's face.
Back when LSD was more socially acceptable, society saw some very strange crimes. All it takes is the right combination of latent mental issues & the right drug to unlock them. Remember Charles Manson? Crazy stuff!

Eh...I'm more inclined to believe whatever ends up coming out of a toxicology report than what his on again off again girlfriend said. Smoking weed made we want to eat a lot of shit, a homeless man's face was not one of those things.

Another thing I thought of, could've been smoking PCP or embalming fluid. People lose it when they get "fried out."

They're now saying they think he was abusing bath salts. I saw an intervention special about a kid who was abusing salts. He was on the roof of his home with a "specially made flashlight" (he wrapped newspaper around it) because he thought some aliens were after him. However, the flashlight protected him. That kid was hallucinating all the time. That is some nasty stuff.

"bath salts" are just a kind of synthetic amphetamine, which is still legal in many places. It is labeled as "bath salts" and sold in head shops.

Mom of Miami cannibal dismisses depiction of him as zombie

The mom of the crazed cannibal who gnawed off the face of a homeless man in Miami defended him as “a good kid†Thursday and said he doesn’t deserve to be remembered as a “zombie.â€


“He gave me a nice card on Mother’s Day,†Ruth Charles told CBS Miami about son Rudy Eugene. “Everyone says he was a zombie. He was no zombie. That was my son.â€


The woman said that she was horrified to see reports of Saturday’s attack on TV and cried for Eugene, 31, who was discovered lying naked beside a homeless man on a sidewalk along Miami’s MacArthur Causeway. Police shot and killed Eugene when he refused to stop eating the face of victim Ronald Poppo, 65, who was also naked.


Poppo remains in critical condition after nearly 80% of his face was chewed off, police said.


A sister of Poppo told WFOR-TV that she thought he had died years ago. He graduated from Manhattan’s Stuyvesant High School in 1964.
Eugene, meanwhile, may have been under the influence of an LSD-like drug called “bath salts,†according to authorities. Toxicology reports are due in about a month.


Charles told ABC affiliate WPLG that her son may have been drugged and then dropped on the causeway beside Poppo.
“When you are awake you are like a confused patient,†she said. “Whoever you see, you go and fight.â€


An unidentified girlfriend described Eugene as a “sweet, loving gentleman,†and that the attack “wasn’t him, that was his body but it wasn’t his spirit,†CBS Miami reported.

"Eugene, meanwhile, may have been under the influence of an LSD-like drug called “bath salts,†according to authorities."

:picard:

Why is it that the media can't do a simple wikipedia search about drugs when writing an article? This kind of sensationalism and complete indifference to facts drives me f@##ing nuts. This drug isn't even remotely similar to LSD, and none of these kinds of drugs in the vast majority of cases are going to result in a tragedy like this. Now there's gonna be a national outcry to illegalize mephedrone ("bath salts"), and it will be completely meaningless and ineffective.
