This story caught my attention last night. Apparently, a newlywed couple in Missouri had to be rescued when the bride had a bad reaction to the LSD she was tripping on. A seizure and a helicopter ride later, she was in serious condition in the hospital. Nicely done. I wonder if she was trying to get down the rabbit hole…
In all seriousness, I think the wilderness is a pretty horrible place to be taking drugs that have the potential for a reaction like that. But even prescription drugs can cause problems. So where does the line get drawn? Do drugs belong in the woods, or on any trip where you’re some distance from help?
