“Rocky Mountain High” may be one of Colorado’s official state songs, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.
One 21-year-old University of Colorado at Boulder student found that out the hard way recently after she took too many psychedelic “magic” mushrooms and ended up stripping naked and freaking out, according to law enforcement officials.
Her “bad trip” near the mountainous flatirons in Chautauqua Park prompted a massive rescue operation Sunday.
The way police tell it, “Boulder County Communications received a 911 call reporting a female hiker … who was high on mushrooms and in distress.”
About 35 rescue personnel responded, and when they found her she had “removed all of her clothing and was being physically restrained by her companions,” police say.
“The victim had to be restrained with handcuffs, and it took a number of rescuers to secure her into a litter,” according to a statement from police.
She was eventually treated and released at a local hospital, and could be in trouble for consumption of a controlled substance, along with some of her hiking peers.
