I don't think there was a urban legend/myths thread here, but I figured it was well about time to make one. Basically, just discuss urban legends and myths - Bigfoot, Slenderman, you name it. Heck, you can discuss wierd ones too! A like so....
See that flyer up there? Well, it was part of a strange, albeit true urban legend where panicky parents claimed drug dealers were giving away rub on tattoos featuring cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse and Bart Simpson laced with LSD and for some reason strychnine to schoolchildren. The flyers scared the living daylights out of random people because they claimed that the LSD was "addictive" and killed many children. The latter is some pure poop. Here's the facts:
1. LSD isn't a addictive drug.
2. Blotter acid isn't laced with strychnine.
3. An overdose on LSD is highly unlikely.
4. The stickers never even existed in the first place!
There's more to the urban legend, and there's more info on this handy dandy website: www.lycaeum.org/drugs/other/tattoo/ It explores more of the questions and finds more of the warning flyers, which are plain at times or pack some skull and crossbones, like the picture above.
