Friends,
I was just watching a show that got into:
"Were much of the Olde Tyme Witch Hunts spurred on by Hallucinations caused by consuming Moldy Rye?"
{Ergot Poisoning and I Think that Ergot is commonly used as the precursor for LSD-25—Though I'm not 100% sure about that.}
Imagine a new and potent street drug that causes a small percentage of long-term users to have well rationalized delusions that they are under attack by "Witches".
We have a bumper crop of serial killers going on Vigilante Witch Hunts…
If the Drug made everyone go on a Witch Hunt word would get around and no one would use it.
If one out of every 1000—or even 10 000 users of Cocaine or Heroin went on mass killing sprees…
{No that doesn't happen—but I'm trying to give a feel for the Quantities…}
If we want, we can further suppose that the afflicted become Maniacally Strong and are barely able to feel pain, can get by on far less sleep than a normal person—but are continually getting less than they need. The syndrome does an excellent job of both tweaking all their senses and making them Hyper-Vigilant—and thus far harder to catch or track down.
By the time the Syndrome manifests the Afflicted are on a one-way trip towards a terminal crash and burn.
The point is: One Serial Killer like "Son of Sam" can induce panic. What could three or four unconnected Serial Killers in every State of the Union as well as every town with over 100 000 people—what kinda panic could they incite?
Totalitarian Bullshit like surveillance cameras on ever corner, Real ID, Curfews, arrest and detention without probable cause—might result…
Along with the Backlash by Freedom Lovers.
