Soldier OD's on Meth, Has Crazy Adventure | Tales From the Bottle

Some had more fun during history's deadliest conflict than others.
"Koivunen was assigned to a ski patrol on 20 April 1944, along with several other men. Three days into their mission, on March 18th, the group was attacked and surrounded by Soviet forces, from which they managed to escape. Koivunen became fatigued after skiing for a long distance, but could not stop. He was also the sole carrier of army-issue Pervitin, or methamphetamine, a stimulant used to remain awake while on duty. Koivunen had trouble pulling out a single pill, so he emptied the entire bottle of thirty capsules into his hand and took them all.
He had a short burst of energy, but then entered into a state of delirium, and lost consciousness. Koivunen remembered waking up the following morning, separated from his patrol and having no supplies. In the following days, he escaped Soviet forces once again, was injured by a land mine, and laid in a ditch for a week waiting for help. After skiing more than 400 km (250 miles) he was found and admitted to a nearby hospital, where his heart rate was measured at 200 beats per minute, double the average human heartbeat, and weighing only 43 kg (94 pounds). In the week Koivunen was gone, he subsisted only on pine buds and a single Siberian jay that he caught and ate raw."

Imagine you're a soviet regular, already having heard the black legend of the elite Finnish "ghost" soldiers. Encamped in the middle of the forest, you stand restless on your post. Suddenly, you hear a cry in the distance and feel the wind on your face. You turn around and then you see it. An unholy demon speeding towards you, dressed in sooted rags, his eyes big like dinner plates, laughing like a maniac. You draw your rifle, but it is too late. By sheer luck he misses you by an inch. Your squadmates initiate pursuit, but he is simply too fast for mortal men. He is not concerned neither by bullets flying his way or the limits of the human condition that the pursuing party must consider. He is gone, the only thing left is the diabolic laughter in the air. He will be back.

I need to make a few corrections to this video. I'm from Finland. He didn't eat all of the pills at once. He swallowed a bunch of them because they were chased by the Russians and they were in hurry. It's not said how many he ate at first, but obviously more than he should have, lol. He also ate the pills later on. It's mentioned that when he had passed the Russian camp and Russians were chasing him again, he at that point also ate those pills to be able to get rid of the chasers. He was part of the Finnish special forces, a commando. They were basically Finlands most elite soldiers who did the most demanding tasks. Maybe that's why he was capable to ski like a madman and maybe those pills had some part as well ;) hahaha. These things happened in March 1944 in between Kantalahti and Salla.The temperatures were in between -15 to -30 Celcius.

[@nicolasnod7359]

A few notes to keep in mind, about him being the Finland version of a green beret, a special forces soldier of an army that with around 15.000 soldiers held off the soviet advance of 450.000 for over a year, (until they declared the soviets winners but with a lot more breathing room than initially demanded by the soviets, as they had a puppet leader in finland). So you can imagine how freaking good a special forces soldier from such an army is, keeping in mind that the skills they handled best were survival and recconoisance. An absolute mad lad.

Pervitin (and other meth products) were not just given to soldiers. You could actually buy it from your local pharmacy, even after the war. It was not declared an illegal drug until 1968 in Finland. There are stories of old people asking for amphetamine in pharmacies all the way up until the 80s or so because they remembered how you could work all day and all night with it.

[@missvida6251]

@@yommmrr Heorin. It's heroin. Heroin is 1000000000000000000% worse than meth because it causes a PHYSICAL addiction in the body, whereas meth addiction does not. Meth doesn't give withdraws - a meth user can stop using meth ANY time and all that will happen is they will sleep a lot because the body's repairing itself, and eating a lot to catch up for all the food not eaten while on meth... it's a mental addiction, the person enjoys it a lot so they are hooked. With heroin, however, you get horrible withdraws that stop you from getting clean even if you desperately want to. I was a heroin addict for 6 years and HATED the drug for most that time but couldn't get off it because of how horrifying the withdraws are. Been in and out of rehabs during that time, seen thousands of meth addicts and thousands of heroin addicts, i know the difference.

All plants produce melatonin (as do all animals) and tart cherries produce way more than most. Organic tart cherry juice seems to work for most with this specific issue as it contains plenty of melatonin. Bitter cakes (made with hops) also work but taste bloody aweful and the hops being a natural weakish antibiotic will screw up your digestive system.
