Ethan Rickman, 14, Dies After Taking Synthetic Drug 'Acid'

Ethan Rickman, 14, Dies After Taking Synthetic Drug 'Acid' huffingtonpost.com
They call it "acid" -- but it's not what you think. And that confusion may have cost a young Missouri student his life.
Ethan Rickman, a high school freshman from Northland, Mo., died last week after taking "acid," a synthetic hallucinogenic drug made to mimic the effects of LSD.
Rickman was rushed to an area hospital Oct. 4 after Platte County sheriff's deputies received a call about an unresponsive teenager. The 14-year-old died at the hospital. Another 14-year-old, who has not been identified, was also treated for the drug.
Court documents state that the drug was "not the LSD form of acid," though Rickman thought it was.
KCTV reports that two other teens now face drug charges related to the death. According to court documents, Krista Meeks, 17, allegedly sold six hits of a "research chemical drug" known as "acid" to Rickman and the other teenager Oct. 3 in order to settle a debt with 18-year-old Jamell Montgomery.
The Kansas City Star reported that the unnamed teenager originally approached Montgomery about buying drugs, but that Montgomery then referred him to Meeks.
Court documents say the copycat hallucinogen has effects so "harsh and violent" that the young woman, who admitted to being a heavy drug user, said she refused to try it.
Montgomery and Meeks are both charged with felony distribution of a synthetic controlled substance. Meeks also faces two marijuana-related misdemeanor counts.
A statement released by the Park Hill School District called Rickman "a bright, talented, fun-loving young man who played in a band," and noted that "his family donated his organs, which are already saving a life."
Law enforcement told KSHB that police have seen an increase in the availability of synthetic drugs such as "acid" on the market and in schools, in part because they are cheaper than their organic counterparts. The side effects of those drugs are also far more violent and dangerous.
Earlier this month, police in northern California seized several different kinds of illegal drugs after breaking up a wild house party in which a teenager reportedly spit blood at emergency personnel and used "superhuman strength" to block responders from entering.
Last week, a Tennessee man who allegedly took synthetic drugs claimed he was "a god" and jumped from a building multiple times. Even after responders got a hold of him, officers said that the man continued trying to hurt himself, and yelled at police to kill him with a "shotgun to the face."
In September, the horrific homemade drug krokodil was reported for the first time in the U.S. with two related cases in Arizona. The "flesh-eating" drug, which in some cases reportedly causes users' flesh to rot off the bone, was also reported outside Chicago this week.

Hi, yes, can I please have the LSD form of acid? Yes, that's right, not the not-acid form of acid. Cool thanks!

Poor kid. RIP. I hate when shit like that happens. And I blame the drug war. I blame politics in just the same way as I blame past legislation for the death of women when abortion was outlawed. I also blame social stigma and taboos against recreational drug use. The struggle for legalisation should not be centered solely around junkies who need clean heroin, it should also include experimental/recreational drug use and recognise that the occasional use and curiosity for mind-altering substances is entirely concordant with human nature and the need to experiment and experience what the world has to offer. It makes me feel so horrible to think that 50 years ago, this poor boy could have been having a fantastic psychedelic trip with real, quality-controlled Sandoz LSD instead of the awful junk that was falsely sold to him as acid (by the way, if you sell something as ACID, you ARE implying that you are selling LSD...if your product is anything but acid, you are committing fraud). It also makes me shiver to think about all the shroomery members who could easily end up in a similar situation as this teenager...it just takes one careless purchase to end up with serious health issues.

honestly you can't blame the drug war. You need to blame the people who sell RC's as acid! that's just wrong.. Kid probably just thought he was gonna have a life changing acid trip.. instead hes dead.

Sad. Prohibition kills another. Had LSD been legal there would be no story.

Funny how they don't seem to talk much about teens drinking too much and dying, despite it being far more prevalent.

I do blame the drug war because it creates the perfect terrain for a black market. The black market operates on a savage-capitalism model because it is illegal and is therefore in no way obliged to play by any set of rules; the only rule is profit, profit at the expense of product quality (and as a result, safety of the consumer). It is a very natural tendency to seek out maximum profit by cutting short on quality, and it happens in all commercial sectors. The government sure as hell knows this and it also knows the offer-and-demand rule...

Not all, but many. Had LSD been legal and his hit prepared in a quality controlled lab, he would still be alive. Look at alcohol, it may have a lot of issues itself, but how many people buy a bottle of Rum at local store and wonder if it contains methanol and will make them blind?

 A very large portion of drug-related deaths could be avoided by lifting the ban on recreational drugs. Heroin ODs are most often caused by shifts in purity from one batch of heroin to the next (sadly, this is how Janis Joplin dies), ODs from psychedelics are caused by dealers passing off RCs as real LSD, ecstasy/MDMA deaths are caused by shitheads selling adulterated pills, and the list goes on....This is a very real consequence of prohibition.
