Police: Miami cannibal was overdosing on new, super-potent LSD

It’s not LSD.

It’s so-called “bath salts.”

Adams said the new LSD is commonly called “bath salts.” The drug, Adams said, can raise a persons body temperature to such a high degree that logic and the ability to feel pain are lost; then delirium sets in and that often leads to disaster.

“We’ve had several deaths,” Dr. Adams said. “Earlier last year, we probably saw our first death from bath salts where people were running on the MacArthur Causeway, under the MacArthur Causeway being chased by the police and then all of the sudden just collapsing.”

“Bath salts” are actually the synthetic stimulants mephedrone, MDPV, and methylone. Not LSD or any kind of “super-potent” LSD.
