At first, she refused. However, after repeated persuasion, she reportedly gave in and inhaled a small amount. Moments later, her condition changed rapidly. Witnesses said she began acting strangely, shouting uncontrollably as her body reacted badly to the substance.
In a state of panic, the young woman ran out of the house and into the street, where she started removing her clothes and calling for help. Residents nearby were alarmed by the scene as she appeared disoriented and unable to control herself. ....…
