A homeopathy conference in Handeloh, Germany this past weekend was upended by the most unlikely of things — actual drugs.

According to the Independent, 29 conference attendees, both men and women ranging in age from 26 to 52, were believed to have taken a synthetic hallucinogenic drug known as 2C-E on Friday. The LSD-like drug, known as Aquarust in Germany, had recently been banned in the country last winter.

...

The authorities were apparently alerted by the attendees’ strange behavior at the hotel where the conference was held, which included “staggering around, rolling in a meadow, talking gibberish, and suffering severe cramps,” according to local media outlet NDR.

...

“It must have been a multiple overdose. That does not support the view that the people concerned took the hallucinogen knowingly,” Torsten Passie, a member of the German government’s expert commission for narcotics, told NDR. “One has to assume that people were not told about the substance, its effects, and risks before taking it.”

To be fair, they probably couldn't coherently answer questions prior to taking the 2C-E either.
