The answer as to why is in the abstract: dude was flying on coke.
Ok so being a chemistry ignorant as I am, I went to Wikipedia to read about this acid, thinking it was probably a very common household item sold under a different name or perhaps a very common drug with a different street name, you get it. But it’s not. It’s just some acid used in a variety of industry processes.
Why on earth would anyone, even on drugs, think an enema with acid is something they need to experience? I’ve never done cocaine and I’m also not into painful anal stuff so if you are into either and care to explain I’d really appreciate it.
I’m into both and I still can’t explain what he was thinking.

Thank you
Well, some people should not do drugs. It can cause all kinds of conditions that you may have genetic predispositions for.
One notable case: drug-induced psychosis which causes (among others) delusions and severe confusion. Sounds like one might pour a deadly acid in their ass when delusional and severely confused.
the person was also DRUNK and on cocaine.
These two generally cancel each other out. Not perfectly, but a dose cocaine makes your drunkenness symptoms not as bad and vice-versa. So if you ever want to win a drinking competition, do a line of cocaine beforehand.
Ime it just makes your experience of you less drunk. You’re still making drunk decisions just with the confidence of cocaine
I meant mostly physically, your decisions are pretty much double fucked by both cocaine and alcohol.
Maybe a bizarre suicide attempt by someone with some chemistry knowledge?
If someone had some knowledge of chemistry/biology they’d expect it to be agonising pain
Yeah that’s the bizarre part. If you are picking this very specific acid you either stole it without knowing anything about it or you know exactly what it is. Both equally puzzling
it can be bought in italy as a cleaning agent without going through entire process as for reagents purchase iirc
It
canused to be bought in the US from hobby stores, it’s used to etch glass
isn’t it “poppers?” a common party drug that it supposed to be left open in a room and passively inhaled?
No, poppers are various alkyl nitrites. Hydrofluoric acid is a different thing altogether. It has no psychoactive properties but will give you nasty chemical burns.
Isn’t … isn’t hydrofluoric acid what Walter white (breaking bad spoilers:) >!used to dissolve a body? !<
Nope, poppers is something tottaly different (amyl nitrite). It’s also not ass-friendly. AFAIK people inhale it directly from small bottles (cca. 10—20 ml).
That’s amyl nitrate.
HF is caustic, poppers use nitrate compounds.
sniff “Let’s do some acid”
literally and up the butt.
Surprised he didn’t win a Darwin Award for this one!
No fucking way
“intoxicated from intranasal cocaine administration” is such a hilariously sterile way to say it.
I actually appreciated that they put in the “intranasal” because it would have made way more sense without it.
How is this cunt alive? And how concentrated is “concentrated”
I was trying to poop and now I can’t. I deserve this for scrolling on the toilet.
Sounds like you could use an enema.
I vote citric acid this time
'89 Joker has entered the chat
don’t forget the mentos go first!
Jeeesus they picked the most active possible in amazed they’re not just instant dead
if it was left untreated, the necrotic colon wouldve caused sepsis due to secondary bacterial infection.
It’s not a party unless your doctor gets a whole paper out of it
This paper is apparently referenced in the Wikipedia page for HF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofluoric_acid#cite_ref-28
Cases of intestinal damage from contact with hydrofluoric acid requiring surgical intervention are rare but known in medical literature

Even with the cocaine, the pain must have been INTENSE. can’t imagine there wasn’t at least some regret deep down.
It’s not a strong acid, it’s just extremely toxic. No idea how much it would have hurt at the time, my guess would be not much, but would have been fucked to experience the aftermath of such an act of idiocy
The pain isn’t from the acidity. It’s from the fluorine attacking your nerves AND bones.
Yep, IIRC many people don’t notice exposure until later when that happens
It’s just one of the two strongest acids. It is able to dissolve glass. But yes, it is toxic and supposedly it kills by removing calcium from the system.
That’s not the definition of a strong acid, a strong acid is an acid that protonates easily
It’s a weak acid
Okay, despite being a weak acid by the formal definition, hydrofluoric acid is extremely corrosive and dangerous because undissociated HF penetrates tissues and the fluoride ion strongly complexes with calcium and magnesium in the body. This is why HF can cause severe burns and systemic toxicity even though it is not a strong acid in the acid base sense.
HF is a pretty weak acid. HCL, H2SO4, HNO3 ARE MUCH acidic. the flouride itself is toxic in other ways, not due to the acid.
“Ulcerated, necrotic and purulent” sounds like a sick metal song
Among metal bands that I’ve known for a long time is the goregrind band Purulent Spermcanal. Who at different times did split releases with Pulmonary Fibrosis and with Vaginal Herpes.
Necrotic puss ulcer…lovely
I mean, do I need to make a “goregrind lyrics or medical journual” game? The overlap might as well be a circle
Jeez, I was sure this was AI, but sure enough it’s on pubmed https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8420252/
You’d be amazed of the things that butt doctors see.
But still… Hydroflouric acid is not something you just happen to come by on a bender. I would assume that if you had access to it you had some idea about what not to do with it - cocaine and fetishes notwithstanding
you would be surprised at how many chemists are strung out on some form of illicit contraband.
I wouldn’t be, having known a couple of people who went into chemistry and what their motivations were
