PORT ANGELES — An eight-year-old boy was airlifted to a Tacoma hospital after he ingested his mother’s LSD.
Monday afternoon, deputies and paramedics were dispatched to a residence in the 200 block of McCarver Street in Port Angeles on reports the boy ingested LSD hidden by his parent who used the drug recreationally.
The boy was conscious but non-responsive to deputies’ attempts to question him about the incident. The boy was airlifted to a Tacoma area hospital to be closely monitored by medical staff.
Clallam County Chief Criminal Deputy Brian King says the boy’s mother had previously hidden the LSD in their kitchen’s freezer in a manner she believed was out of reach of her son. The LSD had been in the freezer for about a year.
The boy’s mother told investigators she found her son laying in the living room “tripping” after the boy had told her minutes earlier that he was “feeling funny”. The mother immediately called 911 and asked for paramedics when she discovered the “acid” was missing.
King says no one has been arrested yet, but the case will be forwarded to the prosecutor for possible charges.
