"intoxicated from intranasal cocaine administration" is such a hilariously sterile way to say it.
I actually appreciated that they put in the "intranasal" because it would have made way more sense without it.
Ok so being a chemistry ignorant as I am, I went to Wikipedia to read about this acid, thinking it was probably a very common household item sold under a different name or perhaps a very common drug with a different street name, you get it. But it's not. It's just some acid used in a variety of industry processes.
Why on earth would anyone, even on drugs, think an enema with acid is something they need to experience? I've never done cocaine and I'm also not into painful anal stuff so if you are into either and care to explain I'd really appreciate it.
I'm into both and I still can't explain what he was thinking.

Thank you
Well, some people should not do drugs. It can cause all kinds of conditions that you may have genetic predispositions for.
One notable case: drug-induced psychosis which causes (among others) delusions and severe confusion. Sounds like one might pour a deadly acid in their ass when delusional and severely confused.
It's not a party unless your doctor gets a whole paper out of it
The answer as to why is in the abstract: dude was flying on coke.
I've done a whole 8-ball in one night. Coke doesn't make you stupid or blow out your inhibitions. This guy was something special to begin with.
For all you youngins out there: DO NOT PUT HYDROFLUORIC ACID IN YOUR BUSSY
I was trying to poop and now I can't. I deserve this for scrolling on the toilet.
Surprised he didn’t win a Darwin Award for this one!
No fucking way
Jeeesus they picked the most active possible in amazed they're not just instant dead
if it was left untreated, the necrotic colon wouldve caused sepsis due to secondary bacterial infection.
How is this cunt alive? And how concentrated is "concentrated"
I wonder was he ever able to get his ostomy reversed since they did just Hartmans, or did the acid also destroy all the anal muscles and all that, preventing it. Yeesh what an interesting and horrid way to fuck up your life
Well I guess I’ll cancel mine then
This paper is apparently referenced in the Wikipedia page for HF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofluoric_acid#cite_ref-28
Cases of intestinal damage from contact with hydrofluoric acid requiring surgical intervention are rare but known in medical literature
intranasal cocaine administration
It always makes me smile seeing technical language used to describe ridiculous stuff. It's almost comforting. Like, even if you snort a bunch of cocaine and then pour hydrofluoric acid in your ass, the medical system isn't going to have any trouble describing or documenting it. They've seen worse.
I heard about boofing from.the Darwin Awards before, but that was for vodka and the guy did it died because of alcohol poisoning to earn it. This one seems to raised the bar and lived to tell the tale of acid boofing. Which makes me wonder how many interesting people we share this beautiful world...
Jeez, I was sure this was AI, but sure enough it’s on pubmed https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8420252/
Even with the cocaine, the pain must have been INTENSE. can't imagine there wasn't at least some regret deep down.
Damn I need to improve my english vocab. I understood nothing from this.
tbf this uses a lot of medical jargon that most people who aren't doctors will never need. put simply, it's a case of a man who put hydrofluoric acid in his ass (owie) while high from snorting cocaine
edit: wrong acid, it's actually way worse than i thought
No, hydrofluoric.
I know it's not that relevant, but isn't hydrofluoric acid a different and much more reactive acid than hydrochloric acid?
It's reactive enough to bond with uranium and make a gas for enrichment. Crazy stuff.
And here I'm wondering what he used for the enema vessel. Hydrochloric acid absolutely wrecks plastic in no time at all, it does significant damage to metals fairly quickly as well. I'm going to assume it was glass.
Polyethylene, polypropylene and Teflon aren't damaged by hydrofluoric acid. Enema bags are commonly polypropylene, so he may not have used anything special, just the glass etching kit and the enema bag he already had to make an arse etching kit
Eats glass too.
