Ok so being a chemistry ignorant as I am, I went to Wikipedia to read about this acid, thinking it was probably a very common household item sold under a different name or perhaps a very common drug with a different street name, you get it. But it's not. It's just some acid used in a variety of industry processes.
Why on earth would anyone, even on drugs, think an enema with acid is something they need to experience? I've never done cocaine and I'm also not into painful anal stuff so if you are into either and care to explain I'd really appreciate it.
I'm into both and I still can't explain what he was thinking.
Username checks out
Thank you
Well, some people should not do drugs. It can cause all kinds of conditions that you may have genetic predispositions for.
One notable case: drug-induced psychosis which causes (among others) delusions and severe confusion. Sounds like one might pour a deadly acid in their ass when delusional and severely confused.
the person was also DRUNK and on cocaine.
These two generally cancel each other out. Not perfectly, but a dose cocaine makes your drunkenness symptoms not as bad and vice-versa. So if you ever want to win a drinking competition, do a line of cocaine beforehand.
Ime it just makes your experience of you less drunk. You're still making drunk decisions just with the confidence of cocaine
I meant mostly physically, your decisions are pretty much double fucked by both cocaine and alcohol.
Maybe a bizarre suicide attempt by someone with some chemistry knowledge?
If someone had some knowledge of chemistry/biology they'd expect it to be agonising pain
Yeah that's the bizarre part. If you are picking this very specific acid you either stole it without knowing anything about it or you know exactly what it is. Both equally puzzling
it can be bought in italy as a cleaning agent without going through entire process as for reagents purchase iirc
It ~~can~~ used to be bought in the US from hobby stores, it's used to etch glass
It's one of the most scariest. Definitely don't put it up your butt
isn’t it “poppers?” a common party drug that it supposed to be left open in a room and passively inhaled?
No, poppers are various alkyl nitrites. Hydrofluoric acid is a different thing altogether. It has no psychoactive properties but will give you nasty chemical burns.
Isn't ... isn't hydrofluoric acid what Walter white (breaking bad spoilers:) >!used to dissolve a body? !<
Nope, poppers is something tottaly different (amyl nitrite). It's also not ass-friendly. AFAIK people inhale it directly from small bottles (cca. 10—20 ml).
That's amyl nitrate.
HF is caustic, poppers use nitrate compounds.
Remember the scene in Breaking Bad where they dissolve a body in acid? It’s that one. Just in some dude’s butt. So maybe he was watching Breaking Bad and misunderstood what was happening
