Wasn't anyone on this forum I hope :)

TV presenter Ben Fogle has said he will never forgive the unknown person who spiked his drink with LSD and propelled him into a psychotic episode.

Ben Fogle was taken to hospital in February where he threatened to "jump through a window" after someone supposedly spiked his drink with LSD.
He turned to Twitter to vent his frustration, asking whoever had spiked his drink: "Did you think of the damage you would cause you cunt?"

Mr Fogle started to feel the effects of an LSD-type drug when he was holding his one-year-old daughter after a visit to a country pub.
"I will never, ever forgive them, the bastard" he told the Daily Mirror. “If it was a prank which someone thought was funny, I can assure them it wasn’t."

"There is no doubt in my mind that I would have injured myself very, very badly – if not killed myself – had I not been stopped by my wife and my friends who restrained me."

If, as he claims, he has never taken recreational drugs, how the hell does he know it was LSD? Surely this is pure conjecture as it wouldn't have been detectable at the hospital. Also, why does everyone who can't handle their acid claim they nearly jumped out of a window? I'm surprised he didn't also think he was a glass of orange juice and stare at the sun til he was blind ;)
 
All joking aside, and I agree Fogle is a twat and possibly a hypocrite, spiking is never cool. You never can be sure what people have already taken, or what medication they may be on.

If I were to get spiked with acid, for example, chances are I'd have a massive, potentially-fatal seizure.

His outrage is sententious, perhaps, but I do agree spiking is bad. It's a breach of trust and consent. Unless perhaps it's a mate who's be willing anyhow.

+1 for dosing too high and blaming it on being 'spiked' =D
 
Hahahahhaha, that's ridiculous! I think he only took more than he thought he'd handle =D

My grandpa once ate a red mushroom and almost jumped off the window, spent few days in the hospital after too. Window stories are insane. Maybe if you don't know that you have taken plenty of psychedelics it fucking hits you very badly? i guess, i can't imagine haha :)
 
As Sammy said, spiking people isn't big or clever, and even as an experienced tripper I wouldn't appreciate someone slipping me a tab. But even if you feel as though you're going insane, why suddenly have a compulsion to jump out of a friggin window? I personally think he's full of shit, but I may be wrong...
 
spiking is a terrible thing to do to a person in my experienced opinion. I believe in choice. However, now I have finally experienced LSD albeit the 1p stuff I am really resentful of the bollocks put out about the stuff. Fucking ridiculous, I know trips are variable but the media lies are stupid. not surprising tho at all. I really hate the media. He likely ended up in hospital and had to concoct a story between themselves. all so contrived.

Such a shame you cannot do these things any more sam. Yesterday was such a beautiful day for me, I look forward to doing it again.
 
Ben Fogle: the real story as relayed to the reporter...

"Listen man, the wife would fuckin kill me if she knew I'd dropped a tab, so let's just say I was spiked yeh? OK, I had a bad fuckin time.. It happens - but I'm supposed to be such a responsible dude who lived on an island for months with a bunch of other twats yeh? Tell you what, I'll say I went insane and thought I could fly, that's what every other cunt having a bad trip sez innit? Also, put down that I was so psychotic I started punching the walls - nothing to do with the booze obviously, but I just can't let the Mrs know I was fucked off a tab when I was with the kids, y'know? Listen man, cut me some slack and I'll see ya right, know what I mean?

Do ya want any acid?"
 
If someone spiked my drink with acid, i would gouge their eyes out and eat their face. Daily mail style, oh wait that was methadrone
 
*wheels out hoary ol' story*

My uncle died after jumping out of a window whilst tripping on acid in the late 60s. True story.

And that would be where the story ended if the Heil (or almost any other "news" media) reported on it. Whilst the basic facts would be entirely accurate they'd've missed the rather important bit about the years of extreme clinical depression - often severe enough to require inpatient treatment. Who knows what was going on his mind when he decided to jump but I have no doubt whatsoever that he decided to jump - it was in no way a "side-effect" of tripping.

AFAIK the whole "jumping out of a window cos s/he thought they could fly" myth comes from the ultrashady MKULTRA sheningans in 50s America. The CIA were fond of deliberately spiking each other - and random members of the public - without consent and sometimes things went wrong. Whoulda thunk it, eh? There's one specific incident that I can't recall all the details of but seems to be the original version of the windowflight on acid myth. The bit left out in this incidence being that it was a CIA man who had made himself unpopular was spiked with acid and subsequently found splatted on the pavement with a big hole in a window several stories up... with signs of a struggle in the room. Event was reported at the time as simply a case of a man going nuts and jumping out of a window under the influence of LSD and thus a legend was born...

That aside, I completely agree that spiking is just plain wrong. Even if it is a supposedly "comedy" target like Ben Fogle. Absolute dick move. Aalthough I also have my suspicions about some of the details Fogle is giving too - definitely has the feel of a basically true story spiked with a few unlikely additions to make for a more tabloid-friendly tale.
 
Exactly, Being spiked with such a drug when you're not in the mind state for it is just torture.
 
Who is he? I bet he did it himself n is making up this "spiking" story. Why can't celeberities take ant responsible for themselves or at least be honest?!

Take Kerry Katona, for instance. At the end of her first autobiography she was condemming her mam for being a coker user, saying she'd forbidden her to have owt to do with her kids. LoL what a complete and utter JOKE! Turns out SHE was also doing coke n if it hadn't have been for a video exposing her, would we ever have been told the truth? Probably not. Yet she's ready to expose her only Mam's use whether her Mam liked it or not.
