Teen gets 9 years for assaulting elderly woman while on mushrooms and naked.

Calling the crime "vicious and callous," a judge Wednesday handed down the maximum nine-year, prison term to a young man who while naked broke into an elderly woman's Berry Creek home and beat her into unconsciousness. The 84-year-old victim, who was hospitalized two months due to the extent of her injuries, told a judge that at one point her suffering was so great, she asked her doctors to let her die.
The victim reportedly got off two pistol shots before she was tackled into a wall and her face "pounded" into the floor by her admitted attacker, Logan Duane Hursh, then 18.
In urging a lesser sentence, his attorney argued Wednesday the teen was in a "disassociate state" due to the ingestion of some hallucinatory mushrooms, which Hursh claims he was induced to take with an abusive family member as part of a "spiritual cleansing" process.
When police responded to the victim's 9-1-1 call, they found the naked intruder in a back bedroom, watching TV, as the elderly victim lay unconscious in a pool of blood on the floor of a front room.

Sounds like a setup to me. I'll bet this guy wasn't even naked until he heard the police, took his clothes off once he knew he was busted, and set the stage for an insanity plea or some type of incapacitation. Guy was probably a common thug and used his ingestion and "abusive family" as an excuse for committing the crime.
Seems quite suspect.

I call bullshit. Has anyone here ever had a point during a mushroom trip where they could actually carry out such a crime? Or even know someone who has? The article says he was in a "dissociative state" at the time, but psilocybin mushrooms take people in the opposite direction -- making them more connected and more aware of how their actions affect others.
This is so far out of character of the mushroom experience that I have a really hard time believing he was actually under any meaningful influence of mushrooms. In fact, I would go out on a limb and say that this whole defense was a lie, and neither the defendant nor his lawyer have any first-hand knowledge of what a mushroom trip is really like.
I suppose the other possibility is that he consumed mushrooms in anticipation of the crime so that he could use that as a defense, then committed the crime prior to the shrooms kicking in. But even that is far-fetched, because then you'd set yourself up for the most hellish experience imaginable.
Glad the judge threw the book at this waste of oxygen.

sadly I must answer yes to this question. I do know of a case in europe I think it was around year 2000 when a person brutally murderet another person durin a trip with a knife thinking the victim was possesed by evil spirits or something like that. As much as I love psycadelics I wont go in some denial that things like this cant happen, mushrooms affects people in very diffrent way and people are diffrent in many ways. I also know about a case when mushrooms were used in a satanic cult where they brutally sacrificed animals and stuff like that.

Violence is possible during a bad heavy trip. Under these circumstances he might have thought that he was in his house and the old lady was an intruder with a gun threatening his safety. Ego loss can get messy if the person experiencing it tries to fight it.
But I agree that this was probably a common criminal trying to get out of trouble.

No it just means that mushrooms are bad for some people. People on this board need to wake the fuck up and stop being so stupid. Yes in my experiences I have never lost control, but to say it doesn't happen is stupid. I've seen people get super disassociated on mushrooms, never violent, but it still happens. Mushrooms are neither perfectly safe nor are they the devil. But if you give psychedelics to someone with a head full of garbage, what do you expect is going to happen?

That's fine except that judges don't see drug use as an mitagating factor.
The truth is the guy was a retard to begin with and shrooms made no difference.

Another case against something that can be very special and completly harmless to the majority, which of coarse one case with something that alters your perception can ruin it for many.
