Straight out of Portland, the video makes it that much worse.

ALOHA, Ore. (KOIN) — Two separate recent cases of teens overdosing on LSD prompted the Washington County Sheriff’s Office to issue an alert to parents.
Sgt. Bob Ray said the incidents both happened last week and the teens did not know each other.
“We don’t have any information that the drugs came from the same place,” he told KOIN 6 News. “(The teens) didn’t know each other, so we believe that there is an influx in the use of LSD just because these 2 cases just jumped out at us very close together.”
In the first case he said the teen “was essentially tearing the house up inside, out of control,” Ray said.
The other case involved a 17-year-old chasing a 13-year-old from an Aloha park to his house. Authorities said the older teen kicked in a door, grabbed a baseball bat and began swinging. The younger teen escaped and called for help while the older teen destroyed things inside the house.

“LSD is one of those at the top of the list that causes such violent behavior,” he said. “You know they’re kind of experimenting but they also think in some regards they’re indestructible, nothing bad can happen to me. They may be tempted to try something like this as peer pressure and both of these could have had much more catastrophic results.”
LSD is the most widely used hallucinogenic drug, WebMD.com said. Popularized in the 1960s counterculture, LSD has many other names, including acid, blotter or dots. It can be taken as a colored tablet, a clear liquid, as a thin gelatin square or on blotter paper.
Its effects depend on the amount a person takes and the “trip” can last up to 12 hours. LSD typically is out of a person’s system within 24 hours.
Washington County Sheriff's Sgt. Bob Ray, May 27, 2015 (KOIN) Washington County Sheriff’s Sgt. Bob Ray, May 27, 2015 (KOIN) Medical personnel said each suffered an LSD overdose, the sheriff’s office said.
LSD is the kind of drug where it’s easy to overdose, he said. “It’s a drug when you’re talking about one drop (of liquid) and then if you get a drop-and-a-half — which is a very smal amount — it could completely overdose someone,” he said.
“One of the problems with this drug is the person that consumed it, they don’t feel pain so they can literally break their bones and not have any idea they’ve broken their bone,” Ray said. “A lot of times they only way to subdue them is just by sheer mass.”
The sheriff’s office decided to send out the alert because they believe it’s something parents would want to know.
“We always counsel parents to look for changes in children’s behavior, changes who they’re hanging out with, dropping grades, mood swings, any sort of thing that is really out of the ordinary.”
The sheriff’s office said both cases remain under investigation.
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Ha, I am in Aloha ("a-low-ah").
I like how they said it was one of the top violence-inducing substances.
