Kid takes DXM/CPM, kills friend next day

[Our Lady of Infinite Space]

I agree that PCP or ketamine would have been a closer comparison, but LSD and DXM share the following effects (among others):

*changes in body image
*changes in time perception
*changes in visual perception
*changes in auditory perception
*induction of 'ideas of reference'/'synchronicity'
*promotion of loose mental associations between concepts
*euphoria

Disassociatives and murder do have a bit of a history- especially PCP. Gang Bangers have long been known to do the dust before they commit a homicide so they won't feel anything. However, it's important to note that the intent to kill is present before taking the drug.

You just described nicotine, caffeine, marijuana, alcohol, or any other drug that anybody uses at any given time. Not picking on you or anything. I'm just pointing out how vague it is when the news describes drugs as 'similar to' because when it comes down to it there's at least 5,000,000 people around the world doing the same drugs legally and safely (ie, without murdering their friends).
