I pity the poor woman who has to live with that moment in her memory for the rest of her life.
This is horrifying. Poor guy. Poor fam. 😞
Holy fuck, imagine cracking open a cold one and instead of a brewski it’s FUCKING METH!
That’s insanity, that poor guy!
Always smell your beer before you drink it for two reasons: It could be meth, or it could be coors light!
AYYO!
This is fucking awful. Such a terrible, out of nowhere death
Have to say aswell, after reading the article, how stupid is his boss who gave him it? He was involved in the whole meth operation with these cans and decided to give away the excess ones that he thought only had beer in them. Why not just throw them away? Such an idiotic risk for no good reason. Was he high on the supply or something? Only thing I can think to explain why he’d do something as utterly careless as this. And now he’s in prison for 20 years because of it
The asshole almost escaped to the UAE too. Good thing they caught him in time.
Not sure he’d have a good time over there…
I hope the swelling went down.
That’s brutal. Assuming he took a single gulp, I wonder what the equivalent of that is in the regular crystal/powder form?
Solubility in water is .5g/mL, average gulp is around 20mL, so possibly up to 10 grams. A normal dose is .1-.2g so it could’ve been the equivalent of 100 doses.
Damn, his heart must have been beating out of his chest.
A normal dose is more like 0.01g for someone with no tolerance
