Another gripping tale of Flakka abuse in Florida. The synthetic drug – which causes delusional and often aggressive “zombie-like” behavior – has been responsable for a number of outrageous arrests in recent months, from the tree-fucking man who claimed to be Thor to the man who impaled himself on a spiked fence trying to flee an imaginary mob. Now we have the arrest of a teenage girl in Melbourne, Florida who was naked, bloody, and claiming to be both God and Satan.
Via ClickOrlando:
Police spotted the tattooed teen coming out from behind a home, naked, covered in blood and screaming repeatedly, “I am God,” and “I am Satan.”
Police say she had earlier jumped through a glass window of an occupied home before running toward a car and striking it. She also punched a person outside of home as she continued to run around the area, reports show.
Officers used a Taser to stun the teen. Hours later at Holmes Regional Medical Center, the girl told officers that she took what she thought was LSD earlier in the evening but refused to tell officers where she got it.
“Whatever she was on, it was some mind-altering narcotic. The characteristics which exhibited are just like flakka. One of the characteristics is that it raises your inner core temperature…so that causes them to take their clothes off,” Lynch said.

Flakka resembles a mix of crack cocaine and meth and it has a noticeably foul smell reported. St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office special investigations Sgt. Rob Pettit said: ‘It has a strong odor like a sweaty sock. It’s pretty serious. We’re always trying to play catchup with the drug dealers as it is, and now here we are trying to get accustomed to finding yet another drug.’
Once ingested, the drug causes a feeling of euphoria, hallucinations and sometimes psychosis or apparent superhuman strength. The high lasts for a couple hours and users are left with a strong desire to use again.
During the high, users often experience something called “Excited Delerium” where the body goes into hyperthermia, generally a temperature of 105 degrees.
‘The individual becomes psychotic, they often rip off their clothes and run out into the street violently and have an adrenaline-like strength and police are called and it takes four or five officers to restrain them. Then once they are restrained, if they don’t receive immediate medical attention they can die.”
