TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Suicide under the influence of "magic mushrooms" JO - Archiv für Kriminologie A1 - Müller, Katja A1 - Püschel, Klaus A1 - Iwersen-Bergmann, Stefanie SP - 193 EP - 198 VL - 231 IS - 5-6 N2 - Psilocybin/psilocin from so-called psychoactive mushrooms causes hallucinogenic effects. Especially for people with mental or psychiatric disorders ingestion of magic mushrooms may result in horror trips combined with the intention of self-destruction and suicidal thoughts. Automutilation after consumption of hallucinogenic mushrooms has already been described. Our case report demonstrates the suicide of a man by self-inflicted cut and stab injuries. A causal connection between suicidal behaviour and previous ingestion of psychoactive mushrooms is discussed.
