Snurf Pills: Like Ecstasy, but Herbal, and Therefore Safe, Right?

Snurf Pills: Like Ecstasy, but Herbal, and Therefore Safe, Right?

Four students from Council Rock High School in Philadelphia have been hospitalized for overdosing on an herbal supplement. Yes, you heard correctly, even mother nature can mess you up if you're an idiot. The students bought "snurf pills" online, which has left everyone wondering, what the hell are smurf pills? Well the student officials did some dilligent reserach by reading the packaging:


"From the information on the packaging, we understand that SNURF is an herbal supplement with mood altering properties. We strongly recommend that anyone in possession of these pills dispose of them immediately."

 

Wait a second, the packaging told you it was a mood altering herbal supplement? Oh and the pills are small and pink? Yeah no that's just called ecstasy right there. But further Googling proves them right:


"(Snurf pills) generally consist of pure dextromethorphan, or DXM, a drug found in many cough syrups that can act as a hallucinogen if taken in large doses."

 

So were the kids tripping balls when they were hauled away? No, they just were violently, violently ill. Well it looks like snurf pills won't be catching on any time soon. But that's what they said about oxycontin...

"From the information on the packaging, we understand that SNURF is an herbal supplement with mood altering properties." That's Truth In Advertising. One good way to alter my mood is to make me violently ill. Posted 09/09/2008 1:23 PMReply

I agree, way to go capitalism. These idiots took the pills and they got sick from it. Think they'll do it again? Maybe they will, but it's their choice and their bodies. Just don't make me pay for their hospitalization or mental therapy. Posted 09/09/2008 2:32 PMReply

Maybe Council Rock School District can admit(like every other highschool in bucks county) that they have issues with drug abuse amongst their students? School officials need to be honest and realistic. They need to put their blue ribbons aside and do what is best for the kids. There are plenty of local resources, Bucks County Council on Drug & Alcohol, Today Inc. ...and more! Posted 09/10/2008 12:57 AMReply
