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.

In context with relation to drug abuse.
You are the silly one, injecting the standard excuse, that the same dozen dope pushers on FR inevitably do, of hiding behind alcohol.
In desperation of clinging to a fellow dope pusher in this thread (which is another thing you failures to our country always need to do) and without having the smarts to check the context of the discussion you entered - you are saying people can use bath salts just as much as alcohol. That is the picture of the freakish country you seek to transform America into.
As for alcohol, it has been widely acceptable to American society as part of the cultural inheritance. You seek to push bath salts abuse and all manner of other sick drug abuses into the cultural inheritance. I will always stand against wreckers of the country - like you.
Not that it really matters, but sine you are calling me a hypocrite because I drink alcohol - I don’t happen to drink alcohol but I accept that others do, because of like I said - cultural inheritance.
36% of all people in correctional facilities were under the influence of alcohol during the commission of their crime.
In 2004 17.6 million people in America were dependent on or abused alcohol.
So what are you "pushing"?
I am not pushing anything because alcohol is legal. And since alcohol is legal, a certain percentage of crime will be under the influence.
However, you are trumpeting a Leftist agenda of blaming anything except the criminal, to push drugs. For Shame!
Anything else I can help you with son?
If mentioning statistics on alcohol-related crime is a “leftist agenda” you’re a hell of a lot more in love with the bottle than you’ve been letting on in here.
You can help yourself to a life, “son”. I’ve got one, you ought to try it.
Ouu feel better?
Individual: the natural right to do anything that doesn't violate anyone else's rights - such as make, sell, buy, or use drugs.
In your lifetime, when was that legal?
Relevance?
You're the one bitching about it, aren't you?
No, I'm the one answering your original question.
Does driving 110 mph down a residential street violate anyone's rights?
If the owner of that street has disallowed that (and, for public owners, the disallowing is reasonably related to the protection of rights such as the right to not be run over) then such actions violate the owner's rights.
Your disjointed
Only in the eyes of semiliterate Drug Warriors.
LIEbertarian response is hilarious. Who "owns" the streets in the towns and cities across the United States?
The people through their local governments. Did you really not know that?
When and where can I see signs along town and city streets stating that driving 110 mph is disallowed?
Here's one:
It's a dandy! LOL!
So anything that's legal becomes part of our cultural inheritance? It's legal to insult one's spouse - is insulting one's spouse part of our cultural inheritance?
Though I would much rather be insulting you.
Yea, as Freedom of Speech.
Wrong; that freedom of speech is part of our cultural inheritance does NOT make any particular exercise of that freedom part of our cultural inheritance. Likewise, freedom to ingest what one chooses does not make any particular exercise of that freedom (such as drug use) part of our cultural inheritance.
The sign says “Maximum 90km/hr.”
Words, numbers, and measurements mean things. Why are you being disingenuous?
Yes they do. So do laws.
My point is, and was, that alcohol IS a drug. You can't deny that.

Much has transpired in the history of the United States....
The Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 made possession or transfer of cannabis illegal throughout the United States under federal law, excluding medical and industrial uses, in which an expensive excise tax was required. Annual fees for the tax were $24 ($337 adjusted for inflation) for importers, manufacturers, and cultivators of cannabis, $1 annually ($14 adjusted for inflation) for medical and research purposes, and $3 annually ($42 adjusted for inflation) for industrial uses. Detailed cannabis sale logs were required to keep record of cannabis sales. Selling cannabis to any person who has previously paid the tax is $1 per ounce or fraction thereof; however, it is $100 ($1,406 adjusted for inflation) per ounce or fraction thereof to sell any person who has not registered and paid the special tax.[29]
The American Medical Association (AMA) opposed the act because the tax was imposed on physicians prescribing cannabis, retail pharmacists selling cannabis, and medical cannabis cultivation and manufacturing; instead of enacting the Marijuana Tax Act the AMA proposed cannabis be added to the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act.[30] After the Philippines fell to Japanese forces in 1942, the Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Army urged farmers to grow hemp fiber and tax stamps for cultivation were issued to farmers. Without any change in the Marijuana Tax Act, over 400,000 acres of hemp were cultivated between 1942 and 1945. The last commercial hemp fields were planted in Wisconsin in 1957.[31] New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, who was a strong opponent of the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act, started the LaGuardia Commission that in 1944 contradicted the earlier reports of addiction, madness, and overt sexuality.[32] In its 1969 Leary v. United States decision the Supreme Court held the Marijuana Tax Act to be unconstitutional, since it violated the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.[33] In response, Congress repealed the Marijuana Tax Act and passed the Controlled Substances Act as Title II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, which repealed the Marijuana Tax Act.[34]
LOL!
Some people seem to have trouble understanding speed limit signs.
Alaska Wolf, I hope you dont drive.
No, some people ignore them just as some ignore other signs like no parking, no trespassing, keep out, do not litter, etc.
I hope you dont drive.
I've driven hundreds of thousands of miles in everything from 40 foot RVs to muscle cars, commercial trucks to Corvettes and Jaguars, in Canada and the US.
Yes, and there are always a few people who have behaved like that through out the history of humanity.

Well, that's good, but you said:
When and where can I see signs along town and city streets stating that driving 110 mph is disallowed?
You understand speed limit signs, right? You're just being a smart ass, right? :-)
And because of them and those who are worse, we have more and more restrictions, prohibitions and laws.
You understand speed limit signs, right?
Not only do I understand what the signs mean, I also know the reason why they are posted.
Food and drinks are especially a part of culture and every time you pass your neighborhood bar, remember how wrong you are.
My point is, and was, that alcohol IS a drug. You can't deny that.Well gee, that's your big point huh?
