Freddy Sharp, a drug addict since the age of 13, describes his overdose on bath salts as being the ‘evilest thing imaginable.’
A shocking video of Sharp after taking the potent drug shows him writhing on the floor then making faces and singing to himself as he is strapped down by paramedics.
Having survived the overdose Sharp, 27, of Tennessee, told CNNthat he was hallucinating about being in a mental hospital and being possessed by Jason Voorhees – the hockey mask wearing serial killer from the Friday the 13th movies.
Admitting to being on drugs since he was 13 or 14-years-old, Sharp said that he’d ‘never experience anything like’ overdosing on bath salts.
‘It really actually scared me pretty bad,’ he told CNN. 'It felt so evil. It felt like the darkest, evilest thing imaginable.'
Bath salts, referred to on the street as 'the new LSD' and sold as a cocaine substitute, contain amphetamine-like chemicals such as methylenedioxypyrovalerone.
Users of the drug report to feeling no pain. Its effects include paranoia, hallucinations, convulsions and psychotic episodes.
'This is a terrible drug because it takes a combination of methamphetamine, and the paranoia and the aggressiveness, and LSD, the hallucinations, and PCP, the extreme paranoia that you get, combines it into one, and has unpredictable effects on human behavior,'Paul Adams, a doctor at Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital, told CNN.
Toxicology results will determine whether Rudy Eugene was on bath salts when he pounced on Ronald Poppo, a 65-year-old homeless man he found sleeping on elevated train tracks by a Miami highway.
Footage of the attack shows Eugene stripping and punching his victim before he straddles him and starts to eat his face off.
It was almost 20 minutes until officer Jose Rivera shot Eugene shortly after he arrived. He shouted at the 31-year-old to stop but he simply got up and growled and continued eating at the man's face.
