I donât know where it could have come from, and this terrible, but it does explain some of the apparel worn by the people of Walmart.
Maybe they were using paper plates and it was on the plates not the beef? Just a guess.
Obviously WalMart mislabeled it - it wasnât beef, it was mule.
Should have kept quietâŚnow everyone will want LSD beefâŚ
Wow. A shame they didnât know until later that the cause of the hallucinations was LSD - the emergency delivery, which I imagine would have been quite traumatic, would probably have turned out to be unnecessary.
Good grief, thatâs horrible. What could someone get out of doing that? Gah.
I understand the desire to take hallucinogens oneself, but whatâs the point of giving them to unsuspecting people, especially children?!? As for the pregnant woman, I donât know whether the LSD would have any impact on the kid-in-utero, but maternal stress isnât good for 'em, and getting dosed must be stressful â even more if youâve never tripped before.
Shame on Boing Boing! Forwarding scare headlines helps nobody!
LSD would disintegrate in cooking. Police drug tests are notoriously incorrect.
This âLSD Beef from Wal-Martâ scare headline is based on the word of one police officer. I have no doubt that they ate something that sickened them, but the idea that somebody went in and so thoroughly soaked a piece of meat in LSD that it survived the cooking process and got everyone in a family is straight out of âreefer madnessâ.
THANK YOU.
Seriously, BB, WTF, and other all caps expressions of disappointment.
Good point. Being sick from a terrible infection can make you hallucinate as well, amongst other things.
Who the hell would waste good LSD like that?
What with LSD being a fragile chemical, the ignorant speculation by law enforcement, the mass hysteria aspect, credulous reportage, and did the whole family all eat the same piece of meat, seriously?
Iâm not buying it. It smells like âBatboyâ to me.
So apparently not everyone knew to avoid the brown meat.
Maybe weâd best ask the CIA why they used to think it was worth doing to people?
Me neither. LSD breaks down very fast at cooking temperatures. It reminds me of those stories in the 60âs warning school kids to avoid the âstickersâ laced with LSD that hippys would just âgive awayâ to kids.
More likely explanation. It was in the house already and the kids got into and this is a cover story.
One should always stick to the True Black Meat.
Iâm expecting to see this show up in email chains and then on Snopes.
Or a crazy neighbour/relative/random Floridian spiked 'em some other way. If, as has been said, there was any acid anywhere. I dunno about the states, but itâs canny hard to find here these days.
Wait, you can email acid?
The story says steak. Rare steak doesnât get cooked that much in the center (hence the phrase âcold-center steakâ). I would hold off on dismissing the possibility that the meat was tainted prior to cooking until we have more information.
