Re: *UPDATE* Cannabilism in Florida!
We had one of those "bath salts" cases a year ago. It's actually a synthetic meth analog. Was legal for a while because the chemists who make the stuff modified the molecule enough that it didn't fall a controlled substance. Kids sometime call it LSD or acid, but it's completely unrelated to LSD and its effects are different.
I went to a training class on the stuff c. 2009 when it was really taking off. It's just plain nasty and since there is no quality control or 'standard' potency, effects, etc. are all over the map, even from dose to dose.
Our little bath salts wizard smashed his head and face on walls in his bedroom. Caved in sheet rock, except where he hit joists, broke out all the windows. He was painting the place in blood. That he didn't bleed out... and actually recovered... is proof that Darwinism doesn't always work. He sprayed out a couple of pints...
"Bath Salts", like Salvia, K2 etc. are part of generation of 'quasi-legal' drugs. We've taken them off kids as young as 12. Because they are still legal in some places and easily mailordered, kids figure the stuff is safe. They get them at head shops, comic shops, even gas stations in states where they're still legal. Or more likely just order them online w. mom's Visa card.
