I saw the speculation about Balldo's empty shell casings somewhere. I didn't even think about this.
This is going to sound horrific and unreal, and I kind of doubt it's the case. However, I saw signs of Balldo's narcotics abuse all the way back in 2023 and convinced myself it wasn't the boundary he will breach. He was probably just stressed and tired, which does make a person kind of act like they're tripping.
Gunpowder contains nitroglycerin, this can be mixed with cocaine/amphetamines, then snorted. Yeah, I'm not kidding. And yes, all three can be mixed together and then combined with booze, like any drug.
The nitroglycerin causes vasorelaxation, which relaxes/widens blood vessels, it's commonly used to treat abdominal pain. This lethal combination probably allows for a far more intense trip.
Balldo had a scale that he could use to sort out the ratios of this totally batshit mixture.
Guess what the colour of this mixture is? Brown.
Guess what they found at Balldo's residence? Some kind of brown solid, rock/salt like I assume.
No, don't do it. People die from this.
I'm not saying Balldo was getting high on gunpowder mixed with cocaine and ketamine, but the chances aren't zero.
Truly dark stuff.
