This is what it looks like when a bunch of German homeopaths take actual drugs by accident.
Photos have emerged on Twitter of the scenes when a group of alternative medicine practitioners had to be rushed to hospital after apparently accidentally taking a powerful hallucinogenic drug at a conference near Hamburg.
Last Friday the 29 delegates were found sprawled around a field in the small north German town of Handeloh, suffering from “delusions, breathing problems, racing hearts and cramps [and with] some in life-threatening conditions”, according to the German public broadcaster NDR. The men and women “staggered around in front of the Handeloh convention centre, curled up in a field, talking nonsense and suffering violent convulsions”, NDR said.
The delegates tested positive for a drug called 2C-E, better known in Germany as Aqua Rust, which has been banned in the country since last year.
