Indians getting high off scorpion stings

[iwearnosox]

"The trendy and the elite in India's wealthy western state of Gujarat, bored with mundane drugs, are turning to the sting of a scorpion to get their kicks... After the customer pays a fee of 150 to 200 rupees (about $A5-7) the scorpion is produced and placed on the body of the thrill-seeker, who is then viciously stung. Users say after the initial pain the venom produces an illusionary, floating feeling." In the words of one arachnid pusher: "You should try it at least once ... a lifetime experience."

Grooovy man.

LOL..

I could picture Jon Asscroft on this one.. "Okay, now we need a law that makes it illegal to get stung by a scorpion. Anyone found guilty should be thrown in jail."

For $10, I'll let you run naked into a nest of yellow jackets.

Lucy Liu and the pit (Empty swimming pool) of snakes?

If I could Hit Lucy, I'd let the snakes bite me all they wanted!!

Maybe you needed to go to the skid row end of town.

?? What's a "skid row" ?

Main Entry: skid row
Pronunciation: -'rO
Function: noun
Etymology: alteration of skid road
Date: circa 1931
: a district of cheap saloons and flophouses frequented by vagrants and alcoholics

IE, the bad end of town.

 

[UNCjigga]

That's what you get when you ban alcohol...

I can't believe they actually had an entry for that. I sure do love the information superhighway.

Not to mention Skid Row is/was a really bad '80s hair band.

my sister used to work as an counsellor for TTK (an alcoholic and drug addict deaddiction center)

and from the stories I have heard from what her patients used to get high on.. scorpion stings are the least of the problems.

They have snakes bite teh tounge of teh patient etc etc..
