Overdose of psychedelic ‘love drug’ killed man at festival at VT legislator’s farm

State police have named the Boston man who died of an overdose July 7 at a regional version of the Burning Man Festival, hosted by a Vermont legislator. They also named the drug that killed him: MDA, a psychoactive and psychedelic amphetamine also known as ‘the love drug’ because it creates heightened feelings of closeness and euphoria.

Ian Denhardt, 35, died of ‘acute MDA intoxication,’ police said yesterday. The autopsy conducted by the Vermont Chief Medical Examiner’s Office concluded the manner of the death was accidental.

MDA (also known as Sally, Sass, and Sassafras) is a psychoactive drug belonging to the amphetamine family. The names Sass and Sassafras refer to the fact that MDA, like MDMA, comes from the oil of the sassafras plant in the illicit manufacturing of the drug. MDA was reportedly a drug used in MKUltra, a CIA program that also administered LSD to subjects with and without their knowledge. American tennis player Harold Blauer reportedly died in 1953 after MKUltra researchers injected with with 450 MG of MDA.
