The 18-year-old, only named as Andreas
W, from Halle in Germany drank a tea made with the
hallucinogenic angels' trumpet plants.
His mother said: "Andreas was behaving
normally the whole day until he left the house and
disappeared into the garden for a couple of minutes."
When he returned to the house he was
wearing a towel wrapped around him and was bleeding
heavily from his mouth and between his legs.
The emergency doctor who arrived a few
minutes later said the student had cut off his penis and
his tongue with garden shears and it was impossible to
reattach the organs.
Dr Andreas Marneros, from the local
psychiatric hospital the student was admitted to, said:
"Andreas will have to receive psychological help for
years. Tea from Angels' Trumpets is extremely dangerous as
the drug cannot be dosed."
Angels' Trumpets, known for their
fragrant and trumpet shaped flowers, have increasingly
become popular as an alternative drug in Germany. |
