Taking strange pills can kill people, yet some take them all the time to get high. Pills from their ‘friends’ and dealers.
One man in his late-twenties in Portland, Oregon (Travis) reports that he was quite the partier when he was younger. He was known for drinking and taking all kinds of drugs.
One night he and his room mate were sitting on the couch, drunk and carrying on a slurred conversation. They were closely examining pills they‘d found; they didn‘t recognize them. Then, with a grin and a knowing look to each other, they both popped the pills into their mouths and swallowed.
What was That Pill For?
An hour later, Travis felt his head being pulled to the right, gently at first, but soon it got to where he couldn’t fight it. His head was stuck turned all the way to the right. Then his back muscles stiffened.
They didn’t know what to do, so the room mate took Travis to the ER. The doctor got a book with pictures of pills and they found the ones they’d closely examined just hours before. The doctor then knew of an antidote to give.
After the shot Travis’ muscles began to relax and he could turn his head again, but then an hour later, it came back. They again went to the ER, the doctor scolded them and gave him another shot. They went home and it happened again – only this time to the room mate, and Travis had to bring him to the ER.
These men are lucky they’re alive. Don’t take stray medicines.
