My feelings are mixed on this too. I have heard recently that kids are smoking and snorting all sorts of common things. Used to be when I was in school that we would buy a big bottle of vanilla extract and get loopy on that. Mouthwash worked too. Then they started IDing kids for it.

If the products are legitimate bath salts, what is the problem? If they are cocaine or meth disguised as bath salts, that is a completely different story. Law enforcement should be trying to locate the manufacturers of this stuff and arrest them on false advertising, or something of the like, considering meth and coke are already illegal.

If these are legitimate bath salts that people can use for bathing and/or aromatherapty and kids just happen to be snorting it to get high, it is the same damn thing as vanilla extract or mouthwash. Heck, look at what they did to pseudoephedrine. Used to be OTC, now you have to get it from a pharmacist. Just ridiculous.

Let them kill themselves. Others will notice, kids will start realizing, Gee, this stuff is dangerous. If governments existed during the time of the dinosaurs, we would have a bunch of incredibly retarded animals walking around.

These “bath salts” were being sold at the front counter of some gas stations.
Right next to the “incense” that came in many flavors...and were located next to the “rolling papers” used to smoke them with.

Not the venue most people frequent to buy their luxury personal hygeine items.It may interest you that Publix, Walmart,CVS, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc, do not carry these single use “bath” products.

Not exactly a direct competitor to Calgon, but it will take you away...

I don't have any mixed feelings on this.
If a gas station sold pint bottles of gasoline to minor children, would you also have “mixed feelings” about the intended use of the product?
Or are you ignorant of the dangers of “huffing gas”?
