What are bath salts? Acadia Hospital doctor explains dangerous new trend
Bangor Daily News ^ | Sept. 01, 2011 | Dr. Anthony T. Ng

Posted on 09/07/2011 4:46:57 PM PDT by mainevet

The alarming new drug bath salts is not the same as the bath salts which many people use for softer skin when they bathe. This new substance, which also has other innocuous names such as Monkey Dust, White Ivory or Kryptonite, is a synthetic drug that has seen an increase in use in Bangor and northern Maine since late last year.

And it’s aimed at white suburbans, apparently.

Supply chases Demand and if there were no demand in these white suburbs you speak of, there would be no on aiming their supply to that group.

In the case of addictive substances, supply creates demand.

“In the case of addictive substances, supply creates demand.”

The drug trade does not escape the laws of economics.

If the people in those white suburbs demand a drug, it will be supplied.

Is this from the same people that got Four Loko banned because it was the most dangerous thing ever concocted by man? Eventhough it has the same active ingredients as Rum and Coke or Irish Coffee? That group?

Or is it the group that had Ma Huang banned because it was so damned dangerous that 1/2 the women in America happily lost weight on it?

That group?

What percentage of the population is infected?

This is bad stuff and already destroying life's. K2 is bad stuff and needs to be banned as well. Serious side effects worse than the “legal” drug. Don't take these lightly. I've already seen someone I love severly affected. Remember, Heroin, Cocaine, LSD were legal at one time

The crew of Anoreth’s cutter were furious about the Four Loko ban. A gang of them were yelling at me over the phone, “Mrs. Tax-chick, we hate the government!!!” Nice children ... Anoreth is an excellent influence.

And, alcohol was illegal at one time, too.

Are we learning anything, yet?
