Meth Fueled Finn

Aimo Koivonen was a soldier in the Finnish Army. During the continuation while on patrol he and his company were being tracked by the Soviets. In desperation Aimo took Pervitin. A German wonder drug to increase endurance and performance. But taking too many, he found himself abandoned by his comrades due to his erratic behavior and on a 2 week long "trip". Hallucinating and skiing all the time, he somehow managed to evade capture, despite skiing right through the middle of a Soviet camp. After 2 weeks he was eventually found weighing only 43 kilograms and with a heart rate of 200 beats per minute.

There's some symbolism to the bird Aimo ate being a siberian jay (kuukkeli in Finnish). It's a very curious bird and often comes to examine forest-goers up close. In old Finnish folk belief it's seen as a bird of luck and also a soul bird - a creature that is inhabited by the soul of a dead person. It's seen as bad luck to kill a siberian jay and it's said that a hunter's luck is gone forever if he kills one.

Fantastic story. A man i knew, knew an older Finnish man that moved to Sweden. He was a ski patrol soldier during the winter war (WW2). He and his group were patrolling the wilderness and used to take turns finding fire wood. It was really cold (-40 C & F) and they were really tired. They stumbled upon an abandoned civilian house. Being his turn, his comrades went into the house to rest and get a fire started while he gathered fire wood. He gathered wood quickly, finally seeing rest ahead, when he had the house in eyesight, the house detonated completely destroying the houses, and taking the lives of his comrades. Miraculously he survived and made it back to friendly lines, and after the war he moved to Sweden like many Finnish people did at that time, but always felt guilty for his friends losing their lives and him surviving. He was reportedly a hugely generous, kind and silent man.

Being so far gone on psychotropic drugs that your own reality begins to slip away is one of the most truly terrifying things i have ever experienced. Its a level of mental and existential confusion that is impossible to actually relay to someone who hasn’t had such an experience. The feeling of coming too, back to a reality realising that what you thought was real for the last however long in fact was a disassociation/hallucination leads to a horrific sense of temporal confusion and the sense it will never end. Combine that with being in a frozen war-zone and being hunted i just cant imagine. Its incredible that his will to live pushed him on.

I have after no sleep for 7 days experienced this. No drugs no alcohol but I was seeing bugs hearing demons. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I've been shot at and rather have that happen again than go back to the horror of hallucinations and auditory torment the mind can bring upon you. Bless this man.

[@brigidtheirish]

Good Lord. The weird "REM while awake" effect I was getting after just a couple *days* without sleep (curse you, Greyhound Bus) was bad enough. I don't want to think what a whole *week* would be like.

[@CProductU]

@@brigidtheirish it was absolutely the worst thing Ive ever gone through. The amount of absolute terror of not being able to fight back against something you cant even see. It messed me up for weeks. So super f'd up you wouldn't believe. (P.s) greyhounds sucked.

[@brigidtheirish]

@@CProductU Totally believe it. I imagine it'd be something like a combination of my own experience with shorter periods of sleep deprivation combined with the withdrawal symptoms I've experienced when the local health system decided to eat my refill request for the medications that *keep me sane.* Only worse, because I still had enough mental control to realize what was going on and brace for mental turbulence. And, yes, Greyhound *sucks.* Or sucked. I heard they went bankrupt or something a little while ago. *And about time.*

[@CProductU]

@@brigidtheirish I've been there man I feel for you. Had to be on anti phycotic meds after that period of no sleep. I hope you're doing better ❤️

[@brigidtheirish]

@@CProductU Yeah. Thankfully, my sanity drugs aren't of the anti-psychotic variety, although the combination almost might as well be. They just make rational thought possible without constant interference from pinballing emotions and runaway anxiety. Still working on a few things, like *focusing.*

This is quite possibly the most extreme incident I've ever heard. From being almost burned alive, overdosing on pure methamphetamine, being shot at and blown up, twice, being abandoned by imaginary friends, facing death as it twists its moustache ends and grinned at him, being lost in a huge hostile forest, the overwhelming sense of hopelessness and hallucinations... Just to end up living to a ripe old age... Good god this is one mind blowing story. Different breed of man.

[@pepperachu]

This is the best version I've ever seen of this story

[@humboldtoregonian9400]

Having been that high before (college) I find the story to be that much more gripping. People who have not had such hallucinations can never fully grasp how real it feels. Imagine getting up to go to work and working half way through your shift as normal; and then, finding your self in bed having not done anything at all and only ten minutes have passed. That must have been terrifying to be lost in the forest in such a mental state.

[@beenez8194]

I’ve experienced that growing up being sick in the bed. You imagine yourself going up to the toilet and you think you’re there. But then you realized you never left the bed. A lot to people do that getting sick off boos

[@trainknut]

I've been told that its like that all the time when you have schizophrenia.

[@brigidtheirish]

@@beenez8194 Yeah. Being sick and sleep-deprived from coughing all night or just general discomfort produces some results that sound like descriptions of bad trips. Honestly makes my wonder why people take drugs in the first place.

[@IDFKLMAO]

Moral of the story: Don't take drugs especially Meth and more importantly don't give it to a Finnish soldier named Aimo cus he will punch your logs and burn your log cabin

[@jonsku6662]

Side moral: Don't invade Finland (White Death was terrifying enough without meth addicts running through your camp while Larry Thorne sabotages your vehicles)

[@theseukonnen1200]

@@guidedexplosiveprojectileg9943 When people have died of meth use at raves, it is typically from a combination of dehydration and heat stroke - their bodies overheat from the combination of the drug, the physical activity, and the close confines. In the brutal Finnish cold Aimo was being exposed to, the meth keeping him constantly moving (generating heat from muscle usage) and cranking his metabolism way up (generating heat as well) probably played a significant role in keeping him from freezing to death. Simultaneously, the freezing temperatures kept him cool enough to not die of heat stroke from all the meth he'd taken!

[@lordperkele3778]

Tell me about it. If you ever get to play Talvisota: Icy hell, as Finns you get to deploy field kitchens. They attract soviet soldiers, because they are starving. In real life history, a potentially war-winning soviet raid failed because the soviet soldiers abandoned their mission to attack the defenders from behind and instead started eating the Finn's dinner - enough sausage soup for two thousand people. The delay gave the Finns enough time to regroup and drive the raiders back. We call this event the sausage war. Truly one of the legendary meals of history.

Keep in mind that in 1940, the issues with Meth aren't fully understood at the time by people making it. Hence why Pervatin was an over-the-counter drug in Germany, and mass-issued to the army. A practice that they would try to undo by around 1942 when they began seeing the effects. To some random Finn, I imagine his understanding is even more basic. All he knows is that this will give him energy, not give him the energy to end up in a booby-trapped German base 400km away from his last known position.

The UK had liquid methedrine which kept 60's London moving. 2-3 weeks without sleep was normal and brought about the expression "to crash". After a while, the government realised it was only being used by clubbers and banned it. Many switched to prescription heroin and cocaine as a result.
