Thai man amputates penis with SCISSORS during cannabis-fuelled psychotic episode

[GeorgeCross]

Quote

A Thai man cut off his penis with a pair of scissors during a frightening cannabis-induced psychotic episode.

The life-changing injury occurred after the unidentified 23-year-old smoked 2g of marijuana – the equivalent of six joints – in two bong rips. 

Prior to his self-amputation, the man had quit using cannabis use for three months after being a frequent user for two years. 

Two hours after smoking the drug for the first time in months, he began to have a painful erection unrelated to any sexual stimulation, which can be a side-effect of smoking cannabis.  

During his hallucination, the man grew paranoid that the head of his penis looked 'distorted' while examining himself to identify the source of the pain. 

In an attempt to eradicate the problem, the man decided to use a pair of scissors to 'trim' the skin of his penis before amputating it completely, leaving a 2cm stump and a 5cm laceration in his scrotum.   

drugs are bad 'mmkay... ????????✂️????????

I would ask couple of my friends who were preaching how cannabis is better than everything else to help these people learn about safe and responsible consumption of cannabis...

This is not a good story for our cannabis legalization campaign.

 

I am not going to be the one to say that if this Thai man left a 2 cm stump it must have just been a slight trim.

Yes i mean we seen people kill 4 while on alcohol so then its ok but when someone does damage to themselves under the influence of canabis its bad. I rather have someone cut of his on junk then to kill others while drunk.

 

So yea canabis is far better, that said no drug is perfect and alcohol is really bad one.

According to various German media, emergency services in Berlin found a man several bleeding in the bushes of an allotment garden. The intoxicated victim reportedly cut off his own penis before throwing it away.

No way did the canabis make him do this.  There must be other factors involved .   Mental health, another illicit drug or something.   No where in history  has canabis made someone  lose control like that.

[ezzra]

OUCH!!!! now i have heard everything, this is it, is there anything thing worse than self mutilation and cutting off your own deek?...

[2long]

Has anyone noticed that the article is from the infamous Daily FAIL?

Another pinch of salt, please.

[Berkshire]

There are so many holes in this story that I can't believe the author can make these claims with a straight face.

 

"Cannabis-induced psychosis"...??

"Smoking cannabis can cause mild hallucinations"...??

"....painful erection...which can be a side-effect of smoking cannabis....?? 

 

I smoked for a lot of years and never saw any of this.  Maybe the guy was on meth or yaba, or perhaps the guy is just plain nuts.  But to say that pot caused this guy to cut off his penis....??  Lordy. 

[jollyhangmon]

 

... really? In 45 years of, uh, acquaintance I haven't felt the urge to self-castrate nor did anything like this happen to any of the 1000s likeminded folks I've come across in that time.

 

Oh wait, there it says 'Thai man' ... of course, they react differently than anyone else on this here planet, LOL ...

 

Also - like with pretty much anything else - it's the amount that makes the poison, nothing new here.

 

At least an apostle of Darwin it appears, 555 ...

Don't forget the very very dangerous flashbacks due to smoking weed. Ganja kills people! ????

I would certainly think that he had an underlying mental health problem prior to the episode.

More likely meth as tweekers can go into raging paranoid psychosis.
Weed.  If weed was involved meth probably was too.
More likely a campaign to demonize cannabis prior to taking completely off the Cat 5 narcotics list.  Need to instill the Reefer Madness fear into the common-folk.

It strikes again!

Cannabis has been called a "gateway drug". When you progress to the harder stuff, you can start removing major limbs.?

Totally agree.

The timing is suspicious.

Now look for a Thai incarnation of Harry J. Anslinger to arise and lead the anti-ganja crusade.

Just in case you have doubts about the veracity of this story -- it was written up in The Daily Mail after all -- the original source was an article in the Journal of Medical Case Reports by Chiang Mai University's Department of Medicine.

 

A detailed account (with more graphic details than you can probably stomach) was in the Australian press:

Is this for real?

 

Only seeing this on foreign sites.

 

 

And scissors? Really. Was he running?

 

Maybe ban the sale of scissors?

 

At first I thought this was the Central World kook.

It has been called a gateway drug, which is a very incorrect way of looking at drug use, mostly drug use does not progress in a linear fashion when it come consumption.

More frequently in the past decade or more, problematic drug consumption has begun with amphetimines (easier to secure and cheaper), prescription meds (self medication) and often  younger users frowned upon dope, as for old people and loosers.

In many years of professional experience in western countries, rarely if ever have I seen canninbis (only user drug) self harm, or become violent.

Polysubstance use however is another matter, and dope may be part of the mix there, though rarely

A life time of regret to look forward to?

Someone give this man a Darwin's Award. He's a perfect example of how Darwinism works, as long as he's done that before having any offspring. The defect genes pool will stop here.

Cannabis a psychogenic drug. Causes Psychosis…. too many cases of psychosis / violence for it to be promoted or legalized.

Although I would want to see ALL Drugs legalized controlled taxed.

Let all weak minded fools remove themselves from society, healthcare  & gene pool by immediate overdose
