After injecting cocaine into his penis, a 35-year-old unnamed man found himself in the emergency room while in pain.
The man spent the past three days in “excruciating” and worsening pain in the penis, scrotum, groin area, and right foot.
The U.S Sun originally reported the story:
“They [New York doctors] said the 35-year-old unnamed man turned up at the emergency room at BronxCare Hospital Center in agony.
He had spent the past three days in “excruciating” and worsening pain in the penis, scrotum, groin area and right foot.
The pain started almost immediately after he injected the class A drug cocaine into the dorsal vein of the penis, which runs the full length of the shaft.
It wasn’t the first time he had chosen the mind-boggling method of delivering his high.
The man admitted to having injected cocaine into the dorsal vein at least twice in the past fortnight, although without any obvious problems.
He said he had a long history of intravenous drug use, and with most other injection sites damaged, he had turned to one of the only places left – his penis.
Upon examination, medics discovered swelling, ulcers, a “foul-smelling serious discharge”, and necrosis, the medical term for rotting tissue.”
A lot of you might ask how the man was able to get the idea “Hmm, what if I injected cocaine into my penis vein?”
Reports said that it wasn’t the first time the man had done it, he also tried it multiple times despite increasing pain.
You might be asking as to why other injections didn’t result as the man had experienced, the Sun also explained some cocaine facts:
“The mechanism behind how the cocaine rotted the patient’s flesh was unclear.
But the doctors noted around 80 per cent [sic] of cocaine seized in the US is cut with levamisole, a parasitic worming treatment for animals.
Around two thirds of cocaine smuggled into Britain contains the chemical.
In very rare cases, cocaine with levamisole can cause the skin to rot. Users have seen parts of their face, limbs, genitals and stomach blacken and die.”
Now, after reading this story, does anyone ever think why the Dems want to encourage more of this behavior? Drug use is not a victim-free endeavor; even if no one else is harmed, the individual is destroyed after each use.
