Teenagers boil sanitary pads to get high

[left-of-center2012]

Police in Jakarta; Bekasi, West Java; and Kudus, Central Java, have arrested several teenagers caught while experimenting with unusual methods of getting intoxicated. Most used menstrual pads to make the formula.

Adj. Sr. Comr. Suprinarto, the head of the Central Java chapter of the National Narcotics Agency, said it was the chlorine in the boiled mixture that created a feeling of "flying" and hallucinations similar to the sensation experienced when taking certain drugs.

"The used pads they took from the trash were put in boiling water. After it cooled down they drank it” Suprinarto said, as quoted by kompas.com.

“I don’t know who started it all, but I knew it started around two years ago. There is no law against it so far. There is (also) no law against these kids using a mixture of mosquito repellent and cold syrup to get drunk,” Jimy Ginting, an advocate for safe drinking told The Jakarta Post on Saturday.

2. Aldous Huxley, "The Doors of Perception" . . .

That humanity at large will ever be able to dispense with Artificial Paradises seems very unlikely. Most men and women lead lives at the worst so painful, at the best so monotonous, poor and limited that the urge to escape, the longing to transcend themselves if only for a few moments, is and has always been one of the principal appetites of the soul.

A firm conviction of the material reality of Hell never prevented medieval Christians from doing what their ambition, lust or covetousness suggested. . . . But all such facts are remote and unsubstantial compared with the near, felt fact of a craving, here and now, for release or sedation.
