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.

Sheesh...
Whatever happened to those innocent days of yore when kids just huffed glue?
Wrongo.
I don't care what your alleged "pharmaceutical studies" show, LSD can mess people up big time, long term. The real stuff, the potent stuff, is very very
“Whatever happened to those innocent days of yore when kids just huffed glue?”
Or what about a schoolmate in elemematry school who ate paste? Did you have one of those? And, the classmate who put his blue pen in his mouth to turn his mouth blue?
Doesn’t matter how hard you stick your fingers in your ears and yell LALALALALA the facts are the facts and the facts are LSD has no long term effects.
Thanks to LSD being illegal somebody made a drug that kind of has similar high effects, though clearly has dramatically worse effects on the body. Same kind of thing with “bath salts”, and synthetic weed out there.Right there, you said drugs are bad. To stop people from using drugs, you want to idiotically legalize drugs. But your goal is still to stop people from those drugs.
I do agree with you about the goal of stopping drugs.
Where was I?
Tell that to Syd Barrett, Brian Wilson, Peter Green... on infinitum.
Oh my God! Not flash backs backs backs backs!?
No I didn’t say drugs are bad. I said people are making legal substitutes that do damage, more than the illegal thing. Lots of stuff does damage to the body. That alcohol you keep saying is OK does damage. My soda. Coffee. Cigs. The sun. Lack of sun. That doesn’t make them bad, just means the body gets banged up a lot.
And I don’t have a goal of stopping people from doing drugs.
You really really need to work on your reading comprehension.
Is that why we have DUI laws?
There’s plenty to indicate all those folks were pretty honked up to start with. Syd especially.
Driving while intoxicated dramatically increases your chances of getting into an accident, most car accidents are not single vehicle accidents, which means you are doing things to other people. Also remember there’s the whole “driving is a privilege” thing which allows them to put rules on the use of their roads.
I was thinking the same thing. I remember a documentary on Pink Floyd and they all agree Syd came back one weekend never the same from a bad trip.
“...not even possible to OD on it>>>”
Yeah, but what a ride!
You stated previously that, " laws against drug use are laws against you doing things to yourself", didn't you?
DUI means driving under the influence.
Read outside your creative editing. Already answered, you’re still wrong.
Right, alcohol is bad, caffeine is bad, the Sun... all bad. But LSD is not bad?
You say legalizing “good drugs” will stop people from “bad drugs” but having legalized alcohol in and of itself has not stopped the druggies.
I think the best way to work towards your goal of not having people use drugs, is to draw your line at alcohol and better educate young people of you posted in this very thread about drugs.
I must disagree. I know 3 people who have been messed up by LSD. The first was my brother. He took some and had serious memory problems for years.
Another was a musician I know. A group he was touring with thought it would be cute to spike his drink with LSD. Well, aside from falling backwards off the stage, his brain has never worked the same since. If he weren't married, he would be on the streets. He can't balance a checkbook, or pay a bill or follow logic for very long. He can still play his brains out though, so at least he can earn a living.
The third is my good friend's son. His friends spiked his drink and it triggered a schizophrenic break which he has been working many years to overcome. If he didn't live with his mom, he too would be on the streets.
Oh, and none of these three is a long term user, and neither do they take other drugs. I have spent over 40 years in the music business and cannot tell you how many people I have seen ruin their lives with illegal drugs. No, I am not a user. I hardly even drink wine.
yep....
In my circle of acquaintances I’ve come to the conclusion that the percentage of well armed and constitutionally knowledgeable libertarians is higher than that of republicans.
Denigrate them all you wish, but when the time comes I’d rather they have my back than panty-waist, social issue RINOs.
