Kind of a weird debate....

There's this story in r/wtf about a guy passed out in his truck on the freeway, who then goes kind of nuts, crashes, and flees the scene:

Some guy in the comments claimed he's clearly on opiates, and while the guy's initial nod looks like it could be, his crazy twitching is nothing like any opiate related behaviour I've ever seen.

Here's his comment: http://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/1oxhmf/channel_2_news_finds_passed_out_driver_on_highway/ccwual6

Am I missing something here, or is this guy completely nuts?

I don't really get this. They saw him obviously on something and they just let him drive? What the hell? This news station should get some kind of Seinfeld law on them. And my guess is tweak, judging by the skinniest arms I've ever seen. I wonder what the hell happened. He looks like an animal escaping the scene and jumping over the fence.

Wtf indeed!!! Why didn't the tow truck driver take his keys and tow him??? I mean I would think the tow truck driver would be somewhat responsible since he let him drive away and he smashes up a few cars in the process!

I cracked up when he got out of the truck and jumped the fence!

Right? Its fucking hilarious! Almost unhuman the way he jumps it.

I couldn't tell from the video...but it looks like there is barbed wire on the top of that fence.

The dude had a serious case of paranoia.

What state was this in? Most likely heroin and meth and this event was at the end of a long run with no sleep.

Definitely not just opiates. The guy is obviously at the tail end of a tweak and hasn't been sleeping for many days. It's likely he was just nodding out from exhaustion.

Yeah, that sounds more reasonable. Some people had also mentioned diabetic psychosis as a possibility, and I've definitely heard of that being mistaken for various kinds of drug intoxication.

The guy even claimed he was "high right now", and that he's annoyed he has to "explain 'bodygasms' to a neckbeard". I've never opiate users talk about "bodygasms", and I definitely never experienced uncontrollable waves of euphoria that made me to move in weird, erratic ways, and be unable to communicate. Even in the middle of the rush from IVing pretty intense doses, it's not all that

I have to wonder if the commenter is just lying, and his knowledge of opiates comes from movies, TV and stories he's read online. I wouldn't be surprised to learn he has done anything more intense than a couple T3s.

yeah I agree. He sounds like he was trying too hard to justify his credibility.

My father is a type one diabetic. You dont go into a psychosis but when your blood sugar dips really low you go into a diabetic coma but trust me, you can't move around or cause harm to anyone but yourself. You're pretty much stuck like you would be if you were in a coma drooling. Before his sugar gets that low he does start making bad jokes, gets a little wobbly and has a glaze in his eyes, so I can always tell when its getting low but I've never heard of or seen him go into any sort of psychosis from his condition, in fact just the opposite where he will literally collapse if anything.

My guess is meth bender, or some sort of medical condition he's neglected cuz I'm sure this isn't normal behavior for him. Maybe soma might be involved if he doesn't have Cerebral Palsy, cuz I know people in a soma coma's arms get like that, and they get super stiff
