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.

You’ve moved past possible reading comprehension problems all the way to repeated LIAR.

I didn’t say any of those things. We’re done, I don’t truck with LIARS.

The plural of anecdote isn’t fact. Meanwhile nobody, not even the government trying to ban it, has found any side effects.

Read outside your creative editing

Stop spinning and answer the question if you dare.

Dude, I was just trying to steer you towards the inkling of a reasonable thought you had. It’s not my fault you deteriorated your mental capacity to that of an iguana.

Sheesh!

“LSD is physiologically well tolerated and there is no evidence for long-lasting effects on brain and other parts of the human organism”

Foolish. My best friend from college days got deep into acid; He’d trip for 3 days at a time, on and off again for a period of couple of years.

His ability to rationalize diminished, his attention span shrank, and it got to the point where he became too weird to be around.

30 years later I still can’t carry on an intellectual conversation with him.

2nd case, another college friend inherited a farm in the mountains, a pile of cash from his grandfather and immediately dropped out of school and started following the Grateful Dead around. He got so baked that when we all caught back up 5 years later he didn’t recognize me or 1/2 the others who used to hang out with him daily over a two year period.

Your original post stated there was “no evidence”. And you also stated “NOBODY has found any side effects.”

I am not “nobody” I am somebody, and I have evidence. While mine is, yes, anecdotal, even though first hand experience and not “a friend of a friend”, it is evidence contrary to your opinion. It is factual enough for me.

Your problem is you wouldn’t accept a fact that countered your dearly held belief. So, thanks for the chat. We’re done here.

Nobody has found side effects. You know people that seemed to change after doing the drug. Maybe they had issues before hand, maybe other things were going on collinear to that, maybe they’re just the bad luck kids with just the wrong genetic makeup.

I accept FACTS just fine. But like I said, the plural of anecdote isn’t fact. You have anecdotes. Facts are the reams of studies that say no it doesn’t have long term effects.

Again the plural of anecdote isn’t fact. What else was he doing in that 3 day period? Or the period of years? Other drugs? Booze? Sleep deprivation (which has been shown to do a lot of damage)? Maybe he just had issues and nobody had spotted them yet.

Dude at least a dozen times you said I said things I didn’t. That’s not steering, that’s LYING. Any deteriorated mental capacity in this discussion is shown by the guy that has to make up content for the other one.

Prohibition causes more harm than good

Alaska Wolf said: Would rape, robbery, burglary and murder stop if we rescinded the laws against them?

One of the dumbest questions ever posted on FR Alaska Wolf. You are totally ignoring the effect repealing prohibition had on organized crime. Took them a long time to over come that one, until the found illegal drugs to replace the alcohol they were bootlegging.

Prohibition also caused more alcoholism than before the law was passed and many, many deaths from poison booze.

Trying to compare rape, robbery and burglary to outlawing drugs is simply stupid and on the lines of an argument the left would use about gun control.

Outlawing drugs only accomplishes a few things. One: low level dealers get caught, the main guys don't. Two: Many in the government get a kickback from drug dealers. Three:Gangs are given money by which they buy weapons and equipment used in killing other gang members and lots of innocent victims. Four: honest law abiding citizens and legal residents lose their freedom due to over restrictive laws. Confiscation of a person's home and other property on a pretext is just one of them. Not being able to carry your own cash around is another handcuff on the every day citizen.

The only reason you and others have for banning drugs is purely moralistic. Either your brain is rotted or you simply won't admit the truth to yourself. If you are against gun control laws and see that they fail to work, how can you even begin to support the idiotic drug laws of this country and the freedom sapping war on drugs?

There are no dumb questions.

Hmmmm....who was making a comparison? Are you on something or in your natural state?

The only reason you and others have for banning drugs

You are showing the effects of drug use, aren't you?

I’ll make it easy for you; a simple yes or no answer. Does the use of mind altering substances always only effect those who use them?

That was quite an effort on your part, since you are so ignorant that you did not recognize the truth of my post, you grunted out a “you’re stupid” crack, brilliant.

They are different issues. Prohibition of harm to another, is very different than prohibition of possession and ownership of a thing for an individual. Do you have the intelligence to understand that?

For example, John Lott has conclusively proved that prohibiting firearms ownership increases firearms crime and other violent crime, all over the world. In this case, prohibition has an opposite effect of what's intended.

LOL, no, new drugs don’t come from that, and they won’t in the future.

But drug legalization is about all drugs, current and future, and libertarianism is about unlimited marketing and advertising of them.
