St. Louis County police warn of new drug in area: 'N-Bomb'

Police here are warning of a new hallucinogenic drug authorities say has begun circulating the St. Louis area.

St. Louis County police say the synthetic drug known as "N-Bomb" has been linked to deaths in other parts of the country including California, Louisiana, Minnesota, North Dakota and Virginia.

The drug, sometimes also called "Smiles" is known as N-Bomb for its chemical compositions, 2C-1-NBOMe or 251NBOMe, and can be extremely potent and dangerous, police say.

Police say the liquid drug is often called "legal acid" and is derived from mescaline. Users typically take the drug by ingesting blotter paper soaked with the liquid, similar to LSD.

Officer Randy Vaughn of the St. Louis County police said county's undercover drug officers have reported purchasing the drug recently.

According to media reports, the drug was banned in Virginia last year and later outlawed in Louisiana after a 21-year-old man died at a New Orleans music festival in November. The man apparently took N-Bomb from a stranger, began convulsing and died a short time later.

Did he get his LSD from a pharmacy?

Because if he did not, you obviously don't know what caused his problems.

Which is, ironically, an argument in favor of legalization.

What are you talking about? Post 5 was very concise and accurate, there was nothing insulting or provocative in it, and nothing that called for this bizarre flurry of posts from you.

Post after post from you and still nothing to tell us what is going on your head, or why the childish outbursts.

Meanwhile, the original argument was that prohibition of any drug never works.

Prohibition of anything never works perfectly.. Regulation doesn't work perfectly. Laws don't work perfectly. We live in an imperfect world. Whether we like it or not we are going to have prohibitions, regulations and laws.

People who want it will get it

So I suggest we eliminate all regulation of pharmaceuticals. I would bet the average IQ in the US would increase significantly within one year.

Are you attempting to infer that drug prohibition increases drug crime and other violent crimes all over the world?

I'm saying that, as plain as day.

On the plus side, it does allow the stupid to cull themselves from the herd.

You know, that is what they used to say about marijuana, but then the first and only long term study proved that there is a very strong negative effect of marijuana among heavy teenage users. The marijuana study showed that adult brains are more resilient than teenage brains and are able to fully recover from marijuana, while teenage brains do not recover.

Maybe LSD could work the same way.

Maybe the war on drugs should be the way war was waged on igarettes- there’s no denying that the war on cigarettes has been very effective.

That’s a good point. Starve them by taxing them, until they quit. ;-)

You’d be wrong. See the United States.

And don’t forget the trashing of individual and state’s rights resulting from the absolutely failed ‘war on drugs’.

Try to keep up. See #105 "world".

What individual or state's rights have been trashed resulting from the "absolutely failed ‘war on drugs'"?

The DUI law isn’t a prohibition from using the drug. It’s a prohibition on driving while using the drug.

Correct, prohibition on driving under the influence of a drug. If you are stopped and found to be in possession of an illicit drug, you'll more than likely be hauled off to jail.

Not a hypocrit at all. He was talking about stoppimg people from bath salts and such destructive drugs.

Are you really so foolish as to allow people to use bath salts as much as alcohol?

Wait, reading your posts, yes you are. LoL!
