Return of the 'Blue Star' LSD Tattoo An urban legend by David Emery Message from a reader, August 23, 1998: I'd like to report another sighting of the Blue Star legend. On 21-Aug-98, in Brooklyn NY, I saw a flyer taped to a telephone pole on the letterhead of the Sanitation Workers Union, and signed by someone purporting to be the president of that union. It was pretty much the classic Blue Star story, though the confirmation this time was from someone at a hospital in Danbury, Connecticut, and written at the bottom, in the same hand as the signature, was a request 'please don't tear this down, parents need to be warned', or some such wording. Message from a reader, September 21, 1998: I heard about an email going around that warns parents about tattoo decals that are popular with kids (too young to get the real thing). These decals are alleged to contain LSD capable of sending the unsuspecting user on the trip of a lifetime. Any truth to this, or have we another legend??? Currently circulating chain letter, October 1998: 10/07/98 This was faxed from Valley Hospital in Ridgewood. A form of Tattoo called "Blue Star" is being sold to school children. It is a small piece of paper containing a blue star. They are the size of a pencil eraser and each star is soaked with LSD. The drug is absorbed through the skin simply by handling the paper. There are also brightly colored paper tattoos resembling postage stamps that have the pictures of the following: Superman, Mickey Mouse, Clowns, Disney characters, Bart simpson, and Butterflies. Each one is wrapped in foil. This is a new way of selling acid by appealing to young children, These are laced with drugs. If your child gets any of the above, do not handle them . These are known to react quickly and some are laced with Strychnine. From: J. O
