Bath Salts are soon to be illegal!

I just saw a news story that said they are signing into law a ban on bath salts. Apparently some people have taken to smoking it, shooting it up and who knows what else. I know I tend to live under a rock, but really, what the fuck is wrong with people? Has anyone seen this going on in their communities?

So...if a bunch of people start sniffing gasoline, are they gonna ban that too? WTF! I like my bath salts!!!! mad

Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian, any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

Bath salts is the slang name of a drug. It has nothing to do with anything put in an actual bath.

LOL...no lie....the newstory I saw showed people opening jars, containers of what appears to be common bath salts and pouring them into a tub of running water!!!!. Apparently, they are marketed as the type we put into our baths and are marked "not for human consumption" but they contain some synthetic shit. But other than this news story, I am completely clueless about the topic.

I think I should have put this under the heading of "you know when you're getting old" thread. When normal everyday stuff becomes slang for illegal behavior. I'm sure 'starbucks' will be next.

Probably the same idiots who put vodka or aspirin in their ass because it's absorbed faster by the body...or the new stupidity, putting alchool in your eyes...

People really have a lack or imagination for finding activities...

what happened to go outside and play...

Yeah, I love Graffiti Bridge movie, so what? ''Oooooooooooh Montreal, say it!''
If you can't be nice to someone on the net, you probably ain't worth much talking to in real life either.

since i tend to be gullible and naive at times, i decided to look up "bath salts" as a drug. here's what i found: http://www.webmd.com/ment...ug-dangers

'Bath Salts' Drug Trend: Expert Q&A

February 04, 2012 By Matt McMillen
Why 'bath salts' are dangerous, though not illegal in all states.

Editor's note: On Sept. 7, 2011, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) invoked its "emergency scheduling authority" to control three synthetic stimulants -- mephedrone, MDPV, and methylone -- commonly called "bath salts" or "plant food" and marketed under such names as "Ivory Wave," "Purple Wave," Vanilla Sky," and "Bliss." The DEA plans to make possessing and selling these chemicals, or products that contain them, illegal in the United States.The emergency action will remain in effect for at least a year, during which time the government is expected to call for permanent control of the drugs.

A new designer drug known as “bath salts” has become increasingly popular and increasingly scary. Poison centers across the U.S. have reported growing numbers of calls about the synthetic stimulant, and more and more states are banning the drug. But as of now, there is no federal law prohibiting their sale.

Make no mistake: These are not bath salts like those you would use in your bath.

WebMD talked to Zane Horowitz, MD, an emergency room physician and medical director of the Oregon Poison Center, about what they are and why you should avoid them.

First of all, what are bath salts?

"The presumption is that most bath salts are MDPV, or methylenedioxypyrovalerone, although newer pyrovalerone derivatives are being made by illegal street chemists. Nobody really knows, because there is no way to test for these substances," Horowitz says.

Why are they called bath salts?

"It’s confusing. Is this what we put in our bathtubs, like Epsom salts? No. But by marketing them as bath salts and labeling them 'not for human consumption,' they have been able to avoid them being specifically enumerated as illegal," Horowitz says.

Are bath salts illegal?

"You can find them in mini-marts and smoke shops sold as Ivory Wave, Bolivian Bath, and other names," Horowitz says. "The people who make these things have skirted the laws that make these types of things illegal. While several states have banned the sale of bath salts, ultimately it will have to be a federal law that labels these as a schedule 1 drug, which means it has no medicinal value but a high potential for abuse, and declare them illegal."

What do you experience when you take bath salts?

"Agitation, paranoia, hallucinations, chest pain, suicidality. It’s a very scary stimulant that is out there. We get high blood pressure and increased pulse, but there’s something more, something different that’s causing these other extreme effects. But right now, there’s no test to pick up this drug. The only way we know if someone has taken them is if they tell you they have.

The clinical presentation is similar to mephedrone [a chemical found in other designer drugs], with agitation, psychosis, and stimulatory effects. Both of these agents should be of concern, as severe agitated behavior, like an amphetamine overdose, has occurred.

A second concern is the ongoing suicidality in these patients, even after the stimulatory effects of the drugs have worn off. At least for MDPV, there have been a few highly publicized suicides a few days after their use," Horowitz says.

Are bath salts addictive? How are they taken?

"We don’t know if they are addictive. We have not had enough long-term experience with it. Acute toxicity is the main problem. But many stimulants do cause a craving. The people who take them are very creative. They snort it, shoot it, mix it with food and drink," Horowitz says.

Bath salts are the latest example of designer drugs. Where do you see this trend going?

"That’s right. They are part of a long line of other pills and substances that we call designer drugs. And drug makers will keep creating new combinations at home and in illicit labs," Horowitz says. "It’s almost impossible to keep up. And the motivation for buying them is always the same: Drugs like these are new and below the radar, unlike named illegal drugs."

i mean i have a lot of fragrant bath salts. i began to wonder, hmmmmm? should i throw this stuff out? then i said to myself, okay i can keep my stash. giggle no seriously though i was really on the search for the detail on this "bath salts" as a drug.

I think that is rediculous.

These common household plants are poisonous (some hallucinigenic): http://aggie-horticulture...oison.html

So why not ban household plants?

I swear, if those fuckers ban Tigi texturizing hair mud, I'm going to explode.
