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.

It has potential.
OK. First of all, I am not a dope pusher, second, I don't live in the US, or Germany, as a matter of fact, Berlin_Freeper, and third, I have not used the words “bath salts” once.Excuse me, are you saying you are not an American?
In your pushing drugs, the discussion you quoted me from was in regards to people using bath salts.
Not only do I understand what the signs mean, I also know the reason why they are posted.
Then you understand that your question, "When and where can I see signs along town and city streets stating that driving 110 mph is disallowed?" was profoundly silly.
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.
Food and drinks are especially a part of culture and every time you pass your neighborhood bar, remember how wrong you are.
You seem to falsely think your observations contradict mine; since you haven't indicated why you think so, I'm going to have to guess at the reason.
My guess is you think that when I said "freedom to ingest what one chooses does not make any particular exercise of that freedom part of our cultural inheritance" I meant that NO particular exercise of the freedom to ingest what one chooses is part of our cultural inheritance. I didn't mean that, nor does it logically follow from what I said. My point is that if a general freedom to do X is part of our cultural inheritance, some particular exercises of that general freedom are also part of our cultural inheritance, while other particular exercises of that general freedom may not be part of our cultural inheritance.
Thus, while the general freedom of speech is part of our cultural inheritance, insulting one's spouse is certainly NOT part of our cultural inheritance. Likewise, the general freedom to ingest what one chooses does not make drug use part of our cultural inheritance (although the ingestion of other things is part of our cultural inheritance).
Your erroneous and badly contorted opinion is noted.
But do continue, I might start collecting your weird posts as a case study.
Your failure to offer any argument for its erroneousness is noted.

I encourage that - that way, maybe someday you'll allow yourself to understand them.
Only if i go senile.
I've never ever seen a speed limit sign stating that driving 110 mph is disallowed, have you? Try to keep up.
Yes, I have, many times, since "speed limit X" means driving at any speed faster than X is disallowed.
Then it should be quite easy for you to post one that states, "Driving 110MPH is disallowed". Thank you in advance.
Why are there speed limit signs and who has the authority to post them?
Yes, I have, many times, [TEXT OMITTED BY ALASKA WOLF: since "speed limit X" means driving at any speed faster than X is disallowed.]
Then it should be quite easy for you to post one that states, "Driving 110MPH is disallowed".
That's not the question you asked - I answered the question you asked in the text you omitted from your response. Since it's not practical to list every speed that is disallowed under a speed limit regulation, that's not how speed limit signs are worded.
Why are there speed limit signs
To inform drivers as to what the speed limit is.
and who has the authority to post them?
In Minnesota it's "local road authorities" - not sure exactly who those are ... cities' and townships' Departments of Public Works, maybe. Why do you ask?
You admit then that there are no signs posted that driving "110 MPH is disallowed", or for that matter, any speed sign states, "disallowed". Thank you.
To inform drivers as to what the speed limit is.
Why is that necessary? (Do you see where this is going?)
In Minnesota it's "local road authorities"
Actually it is local, county, state and federal authorities.
I used to live near Good Thunder, Mn. Do you know where that is?

I never said otherwise. What of it?

Quit the bubble-dancing and make your point.

Dandy. What of it?

Not a clue.
THAT was the line of the discussion I entered into with YOU.
WHY do you not include alcohol as a drug???

In any event, if you accuse me of “pushing drugs” again, I will use the abuse button. Fair warning.
Excuse me, are you saying you are not an American?
Did you not click on my home page?
I noticed you fly the American flag in the corner, but use the colors of the German flag on your “home” page.
Interesting, considering you talk about what is acceptable in "American society", and say things like "I will always stand against wreckers of the country - like you." If you only want to trade insults, instead of having a level headed discussion, find a mirror.
The line needs to be drawn by the US Constitution. And absolutely nowhere in that document does the Federal government have the specific, enumerated power to regulate what adults choose to put into their bodies.
Now be a good little German and live your pathetic life inside whatever lines the German government decides are appropriate for serfs like you. After all it’s got such a great track record at that sort of thing. Unless of course you’re a Jew or a Gypsy or a Pole.....
That, though obvious, is a shame, FRiend.
THAT was the line of the discussion I entered into with YOU.I was including alcohol as a drug, in that discussion. You are taking one line out of context and now providing a link to your own post that took the one line out of context.

Oh boo-hoo, you are going to report me. You are pushing drugs with the agenda of George Sorrows. If you were arguing for another liberal cause like homosexual marriage, then you would be pushing that. Did you not click on my home page?

Yes I fly the American flag and also have the colors of the German flag. I am an American currently living in Berlin, married to a German and have a daughter with an American passport. I can be on a plane to America in 3 hours, 3 months or 3 years. You are a foreigner. You are not an American, not even in America, but are insistent about pushing drugs on Americans. Do you lose sleep at night because drugs are not legal in the US?
How about you search the internet to find a forum of another country and try wrecking it by pushing drugs there?
What is next? An Iranian (in Iran) is going to be on FR telling me about Israel?
LoL! You want “specific” mention in the Constitution do you?
All the criminals sitting in jail can use your moronic defense.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it prohibit a liquor store next to a school. That is why it created the Congress to make laws within the powers granted.
Article I of the Constitution states “all legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives.”
If you want to discuss drugs in relation to the Constitution, then you need to create an Amendment to the Constitution. Something that says: “Congress shall make no law prohibiting the use of drugs.”
You should really try sticking to your name “Lurker”, your complete foolish misunderstanding of the United States Constitution displayed on FR is embarrassing. Embarrassing!
Your comment about Germany in this discussion about drugs, only serves to show how unhinged you are.
Sometimes things are so self-evident that flowery, lengthy replies are not needed in any way, shape, or form.
