Child eats mom's LSD-coated candy

Why is there an underlying presumption that LSD is harmless to a child? I don't agree with that assertion and I'd like to see proof that it is not harmful. Advocating that people not bring their children to the hospital for consuming LSD might be construed as spreading harmful, misinformation on bluelight - which is punishable by at least a warning, I'm sure.

It seems as if a lot of the people here are thinking that the worst that can happen is a bad trip. That leaves me wondering: how do you know if the baby is having a good trip or a bad trip? Maybe I'm just rusty on my child psych (or maybe because I never learned it) but can someone explain to me where this absurd notion (LSD is harmless physically and mentally to children) came from?
 
OH tokey, silly willy! kids are always happy and in sunshine land, lsd=sunshine=kids, so kids+lsd would only amount to more sunshine happy gumdrops! It's science.

Well, one word: idiocy....and stupidity.
 
Upadate 1/24 - Child who ate LSD candy reunited with mother

A child who ate candy laced with LSD is back with his mother.

As she promised a year-and-a-half ago, Ashli Freas did everything required under the law to get her son back.

In June 2006, Freas was attending a friend’s party when her son ate LSD-laced candy from a party bowl. Freas says she didn’t know drugs were at the home. But police said she waited too long to call 911 for help.

Freas went through a series of court-ordered parenting classes and drug tests.

This week, a judge closed the case and Freas regained full custody of her son.

Don't you remember being a kid? 90% of the time my head was in the clouds visualizing crazy shit, kids will turn a bunch of ketchup packets into a war game.
Being a kid is like being on drugs, come on just ask your parents what you were like.

Dumb. You do that as a kid because you don't "know" that other people will find it rude. And most people don't do it as an adult because they're trying to be polite or fear the imagined negative reactions from society or actual unpleasant consequences. When you're on drugs you might forget that is is "inappropriate". But to tie that together with the other symptoms of childhood is: 1. Not logical. 2. Doesn't make any sense. 3. Stupid.

I was visiting some friends in a different city with my lady friend and my friend's two year old son came walking back into the room with a quarter of mushrooms that came out of my lady friend's purse. Slightly awkward. Luckily he didn't eat them.

Peace,

The point is there is nothing that can be done for a child that has consumed LSD in a hospital besides maybe sedation if they become agitated.

Its not toxic, there is no chance of overdose, physical harm, or death. I wasn't advocating childhood use of LSD, and I think the trauma of parental freak out and forced separation has a very good chance of causing lasting psychological harm.

Has everyone forgotten that ketamine is commonly used as a pediatric anesthetic because small children can't complain about troubling hallucinations, so pediatricians aren't too concerned about bad trips.

and how do you feel about something like DMT
why would your body produce it if it where harmful ?
is dreaming harmful to a child ?
those trip are intense cuz they dissolve boundary, if you dont use language, if you haven't created a structured world you can control, not much will change imo
i dont remember what it was like when i was 2 year old, cuz my memory wasn't organize enough to record what was happening in a comprehensive way,
you dont make yourself your own meal i mean you still shit on yourself at that age, you are already not controlling or understanding whats going on
...
not saying that its harmless, cuz there isnt much study done with babys and LSD...so i dont know
but personally i dont think its that much of a deal
alcohol imo is probably worse
 
huh?

so pipes are illegal in the Land of The Free, these days?

is there a pipe USA black market now or something?

The guy selling grinders and pipes and bongs and papers and machines and vaps and lighters and salvia and amyls etc,
is the stall next to the one selling candles and cakes, in the market in town.
where do americans get all that stuff?
 
They're only illegal once they're paraphenalia. You have a brand new, unused glass peice, it's totally legal.

They find some resin in it, and you're fucked.
 
"Anderson is still in custody on a probation violation. She was convicted in April of manufacturing and selling designer drugs and sentenced to two years of probation."

What the is “manufacturing designer drugs”? Drugs that are unscheduled ? And how would a 19 year old girl be making synthetic designer drugs? Most 19-year-old girls can barley make dinner.
Sounds like bullshit to me.

The mom is in big trouble, I would of let the kid trip at home the hospital is not going to do anything good for him the LSD is already in his system.
I would of just surround him with colors and his favorite toys and put party streamers on his mobile. Babies’ minds are very elastic I doubt it would do permanent damage. But all those cops and hospital people probably gave him a bad trip, poor kid.

Yeah - def. would have gone for containment, not hospitalization and public announcements.

Sheesh.

Common sense - as long as the kid looks ok, acts ok, and physically is fine, why freak out?
You'll only scare the kid.

Knowing what they're about to go through, you should try to keep the child calm, give them something soft and fuzzy, tell them jokes and keep them as happy as possible.

Call into work, say you're kid's sick, you have to stay home, and TAKE CARE OF THEM.

Last thing I'd want on LSD is to be in a hospital with strangers, my mom being drug off by the cops, not knowing what's going on, and not being able to have my mom hold me and tell me I'll be ok.

What was she thinking?

Common sense? Are you kidding? You expect a girl who not only got pregnant at 18 or 19, but then left LSD out where the kid could get it to have common sense?

I don't think the young mother deserves anything she's getting, neither in court or in this thread from most people. A young mother is going to be inexperienced, but mistakes like this do not make her a bad mother.

Whether it is LSD (in her case), some prescription drug, something from under the sink, or getting a nickel stuck in their throat... this kind of stuff even happens to children with good experienced parents who watch their children like hawks.

Her actions to call a Poison Control Center, attempt treatment (inducing vomiting), and taking her child to the hospital... without any regard or hestitation for the illegality of her situation... tells me that she is actually a very responsible, caring mother that made a mistake.

For such a mother, the reality of the mistake, with the fear of even death for her child as consequence for a simple mistake, has taught her more of a lesson than any court system can impose upon her... and might actually serve to straighten her up.

IMO, she does not deserve the charges "physical abuse of a child". She did not intentionally harm or abuse the child. As for the other charges, I don't think any drugs should be illegal, so... as far as I'm concerned she shouldn't have any charges on her.

When she woke up Wednesday at about 9 a.m., her daughter was sitting on the floor near her Care Bears couch and said, "I like these, Mommy" and had one of the drug-laced candies in her hand.

That's definitely not how I would have handled it. Even with a developing mind, there's nothing a hospital can do besides load her up on benzos or antipsychotics (the latter of which are far more dangerous), so why not try to make the best out of a crappy situation?

I don't think the girl would freak out, and even if she did, as the Haight-Ashbury clinic showed, the talk-down method is the best method available.
 
god that womans a dumbass leaving the drugs out in reach of the kid is one thing but she didnt even have the sence to flush the rest of the drugs or at least give em to some one else before calling posions controll she fucked her self over bad idiot

I think the point is there is nothing a hospital can do aside from administering sedatives.

Screaming in despair and fear: bad trip. Not doing those things: good trip.
