Teen OK after shooting himself to end bad drug trip

7/6/2012

A Florida teen who was on a nightmare of a trip after eating some mushrooms and drinking tea made from them got so confused about what was real and what wasn't that he shot himself in the forehead in order to wake up. Fortunately 17-year-old Steve Tilbury not only survived the shot from the .22-caliber rifle he delivered straight to his noggin, but also actually showed calm problem-solving skills considering his situation. After shooting himself, Tilbury told police he tried to clean up blood that had splattered on the carpet and even bandaged his own wound before walking outside and flagging down a man and asking to be taken to the hospital. The teen assured police he wasn't suicidal; maybe he's just seen "Inception" a few times too many.
