I had a friend tell me once of a drug she did once growing up near Jacksonville called "T" I believe it was powder form.. no clue what it was made up of..

She did it at the beach with some friends.. she passed out for hours and later somehow made it home.. where she passed out in a tub of mostly vinager (because she was so sun burned ).. somehow hours later made it to the bed and woke up 3 days later..

I noticed in thom's post he used the letter "t" to label the drug he was talking about.. Could it be the same stuff she told me about? because if thom meant 't' .. I have also heard stories of it. I also assumed it was pcp or sorts..Was there, in the late 70's a drug in Fla. called just "T"?

I ,imo ,don't see how any form of THC could produce effects like that..

marshall:
The powder you are describing was available in Georgia in the early-mid 70's too. People called it "T" and everyone said it was THC at the time. I bought and used loads of it. Whatever it was...it was not pcp. The tabs that were sold as THC were indeed PCP...at least they had all the effects of that drug. That pill-form pcp was the first drug I ever used besides pot. The effects of 'T' were much different. T seemed much more like a mild hallucinogen of some sort...maybe mescaline, MDA or some derivative. Effects were too short to be acid.

Tom, I don't doubt your story about the girl dying from whatever was in the punch. But I do question whether the agent was either THC (not at all likely for reasons others have stated) or strychnine poisoning. From my research, the whole (& very common) belief that lsd was cut with strychnine was indeed a sort of druggie urban legend.

Here's an article I found on the web that may expain the origin of the myth:

"Strychnine in LSD

This rumor is spread with abandon, explained variously as "strychnine is a by-product of the LSD production process" or "strychnine is used to bind the LSD to the blotter paper" or "LSD is cut with strychnine." Again, there?s little basis in truth for this one. The main argument against this rumor is that active levels of strychnine wouldn?t fit on a piece of blotter paper. There seem to be a couple of mentions of strychnine associated with LSD in the professional literature. One screening test in 1971 showed a trace amount of strychnine in a sample of LSD, but was never verified. Then, in LSD: My Problem Child, Hofmann describes one 1970 case where strychnine powder was sold as LSD, but no LSD was actually involved."

Why thank you, Terry. But I'm off my 3 daze now. I can speak for myself.

Tom, I wondered if the story you heard at the time had much to do w/ the facts of the case. I don't doubt that the girl died somehow or that you knew the admiting physician. But a LOT of raw bs about drugs flew freely as fact in those days. Still does. But most especially at the Seed.

The THC thing especially. I never knew till this day that anyone refered to PCP as THC. I always thought it was funny (ha ha funny, not odd... sort of my own private joke) that each and every newcomer in the Seed and Straight always claimed to have used THC in addition to pot.

So anyway, I went looking for info on what strychnine does. And it is as I vaguely remember from the last time I looked it up. It just doesn't do anything like what you described. So then I wondered how a practicing medical physician could be fooled, unless maybe you've just never had reason to question it. I imagine strychnine poisoning is extremely rare these days. I don't think I've ever heard a first or second hand account.

And I wonder what you think now about what really killed that poor girl.
