 Getting High on Bath SaltsPosted on Jan 25, 2011
Apparently America’s latest drug craze is a chemical powder that is marketed as bath salt. AP reports the horrific story of one man who abused the substance and then attacked himself with a skinning knife. A quick Google search tells us this might not be the widespread phenomenon AP suggests, but we’ll keep our ears open.

I think you guys are missing the point that these ‘bath
Report thissalts’ are not bath salts at all. The disclaimers are
just a means of making them legal for sale. They are in
fact a synthetic drug aimed at getting ppl high. Some
ingenious kid dint just go to a bath and body works and
pull some real bath salts off the shelf and start
snorting it. These are products sold in head shops,
convenience stores, etc that are made for the purpose
of getting high but marketing them as such might make
them illegal. The ‘bath salts’ thing is truly a ruse.

Humans want to get high, plain and simple. If we restrict safe means to do so, they will find more dangerous ways to do so. Make drugs legal and available in clean form of known potency and all these dumb attempts at getting high will disappear.
Articles like this have just advertised to dumb-ass kids who can’t regularly score normal drugs that they can get high off of bath salts. I often think sensational articles will actually boost the problem. Which is probably pretty small in reality.

After reading this article further, I have come to the conclusion that humans are the dumbest animals on the planet. Anyone who misuses or abuses any product can get buzzed, high or dead. For those who snorted, smoked or misused this bath salts products for purposes other than for bath salts deserves to get hurt or damaged in one way or another. They are not smart enough to survive.
As a reporter, I believe it was Mike Royko in the 70’s wrote,“We have to quit making laws to protect stupid people from themselves.”

George Mitchell (GM) said he agreed about the
importance of Jerusalem, but the Israelis will not go
for it. He said you have to deal with the world as it
is, not as you would like it ? for that reason the
best he can get is “restraint”. Saeb Erekat (SE)
interjected that this means they can accelerate
Jerusalem construction, while you expect us to go
ahead with negotiations. GM replied the same will
happen in the absence of negotiations: Israel
announces new construction, we criticize, over and
over again. With negotiations, we will have more
leverage, and there will be less settlement activity.
To compensate, he added, the US will explicitly
repeat its position on Jerusalem (non-recognition of
Israeli annexation and related actions; demolitions,
evictions etc.) In such a situation, with
negotiations going on, if they make a provocative
announcement, the US has the leverage to state that
this undermines the process, and that Israel is
acting in bad faith in the negotiations.
