Officials fear bath salts are growing drug problem

:faint:


FULTON, Miss. – When Neil Brown got high on bath salts, he took his skinning knife and slit his face and stomach repeatedly. Brown survived, but authorities say others haven't been so lucky after snorting, injecting or smoking powders with such innocuous-sounding names as Ivory Snow, Red Dove and Vanilla Sky.

Some say the effects of the powders are as powerful as abusing methamphetamine. Increasingly, law enforcement agents and poison control centers say the bath salts with complex chemical names are an emerging menace in several U.S. states where authorities talk of banning their sale.

A little genetic cleansing going on here.

Maybe if they made it stronger it would cleanse the gene pool too.

I'm all for letting idiots kill themselves before the can multiply.

Just another example why the drug issue will never go away, take away bath slats and they will go back to gasoline or meth.

I am curious as to whether there was a "use as directed" label and a "surgeon general's" warning on the product?
