Uh Oh.
Now we have to sign in and register to buy bath salts along with Sudafed - just like we would if were bying bullets or guns!!
My heart goes out to these poor children.
There is a cohort of (barely) human beings that simply should *not* be permitted to breed.
Good Lord,is there anything safe left?
Mother of the Year she isn’t.
I’m really at a loss as to understanding this new bath salts thing. Are they legitimately bath salts? Can you actually use them in a bath, or are they surreptitiously designer drugs packaged as bath salts?
Florida apparently had an epidemic big enough to require our new AG to declare them illegal, but I’m left trying to understand: are they actually legal products being misused or illegal products being marketed as legal? Either way, why aren’t we investigating the manufacturers?
Heard a story about this recently, and for the record, they are not actually bath salts, they are boutique drugs, available at convenience stores and the like.
This clears up a mystery I have had for years. My wife locks herself in the bathroom to soak in the tub with bath salts. No wonder she is in a good mood when she gets out.
So now an attack on another kind of salt? Bath salts?
To the dopers those effects are collectively known as "fun"
(We live in a very scary world)
According to liberal dopers, the war on drugs forced her to do it.
People are weird.
Snorting bath salts?
This takes the old phrase, “Keep your nose clean” to a whole new level.
With all the real drugs out there...
Great, now just as many people will get it, but instead of getting it from the store, with the money fueling legitimate business profits, they'll get it from their neighborhood drug dealer and the money will fund gang activity.
Some funny comments. But this story is very sad. Hope the babies are going to be ok.
I should have said “more about bath salts here”.
This is an epidemic in the Rust Belt states.
These “bath salts” are comparable to meth.
We have stories like this in our paper every week:
Police: Bath salts user thought river creatures stalked him
February 21, 2011 - By PATRICK DONLIN -
Disheveled, disturbed and apparently under the influence, a local man had repeated run-ins with South Williamsport Borough police the past few months.
Borough Detective Sgt. James Taylor said the first time the 29-year-old man encountered police, he claimed to be using synthetic marijuana.
“He said it was K2 or spice from the head shops,” Taylor said, using drug culture slang for types of chemically laden herbs smoked to get high.
The man said in later encounters he had snorted Blue Silk, which officers investigated online to discover is a type of bath salt.
Taylor said police had nine encounters with the man from Nov. 18 to Dec. 5.
Sometimes, he allegedly called 911 emergency dispatchers with whom he reportedly had rambling conversations.
On other occasions, Taylor said he was known to disturb area residents by knocking on their doors.
On Nov. 18, the man believed he was being chased by other people - and other creatures.
The clothes he was wearing were wet, and he was partially disrobed when found near a borough home after police were summoned by residents who said he had pounded his fists on their door requesting entry.
Taylor doesn’t know for sure if the suspect jumped in the nearby West Branch of the Susquehanna River, but he was told so.
“He told me he was being chased by two other people who were trying to lasso him with a rope in the woods,” Taylor said. “From there, he said he swam in the river to get away, where he claimed to be chased by snakes and crocodiles.”
Just another unintended consequence of the war on drugs. Who knows what evil genie has been let out of the bottle now. They will make it illegal, then fight its manufacture. Then we will go another round as someone else finds a way around the laws against this substance. Same way meth was created.
