Hmm, really? I dunno… Sure, it’s his fault for taking the acid, but psychedelics can be very unpredictable drugs, and this could have been a completely isolated case in which the acid affected him in completely different way, causing him to be violent. I don’t think you can totally be to blame if you end up doing something bad while intoxicated on something that takes away the ego.
I agree the same can happen with alcohol – but there is the option to stay sober.
The UK drugs culture encouraged by the rave scene has been going on for 25 or so years now and there’s plenty of evidence that LSD can be risky, if the lad had sense he should have done it with friends, away from the family home. FFS Newmarket is not London, its surrounded by lots of quiet open spaces, OK a bit cold but that might also have encouraged him to keep his kit on when he went “off the lead” :laugh_at:

It’s the same with people with severe mental disorders – are they really to blame if they go out and murder a load of people?
not as much as they can’t help having the illness – a drug or alcohol user has the option not to partake – but there are still a lot of people who have less serious personality disorders but a bullying/controlling nature and play the “mental health” card, making things worse for people with genuine illness.
