Plucking Out Eyeballs on LSD
Another LSD Myth
by Erowid

---

From John:
The myth in question is of the teenage who plaucked out his eyeballs in a jail cell whilst under the influence of LSD. This bears a strinking resemblance to a passage in Hunter S Thompson's novel 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.' The main character/narrator, Duke, was reading several articles in some paper, one of which described a young person who plucked out his eyeballs in a jail cell and felt no pain. Instead of LSD, he had used PCP, so perhaps this myth can be disregarded once and for all, even if the article described in the story happened to be real.
