Bath Salts.....are they an epidemic?

[adopolis]

I was just wondering if only Northeast PA was having problems with the use of bath salts for getting high. It seems todays generation of teenagers are findings extreme ways to try to run away from reality and/or responsiblity.

Is it just here (PA) or is this becoming an epidemic for our society?

Its a problem everywere. Todays generation will stick anything up their nose or in their arm. Heroin is pretty big too now. I know of a couple people that lost their kids to that one. Doesnt matter rich or poor, city or back woods.

Can you believe it? Bath salts, vanilla extract or how about the inside of a simple banana peel. I think if these people would spend more time on facing their fears as they do on trying to find ways of running away they might actually find some happiness and strength within themselves.

Once I was doing a job cleaning something with acetone & began to wonder why my fresh quart was all gone.

I found my co-worker with his nose deep in a rag that was doused with it. Sick mofo.

What you're seeing there is weakness on a very, very basic level. Incredable selfishness coupled with the inability to compete, to improve ones own position in life. The lack of drive to simply be a productive member of socity. The antithisis of creation, destruction. or more specificaly, self destruction. But hey, it's ok with me, and I'll let you in on a little secret a lot of us already know, there's always gotta be losers in order for there to be winners!

When I was in middle school, the rumor was that if you snorted pixie stix that you'd get a buzz. What actually happened was sugar decomposition in mucous, major headaches, and kids blowing multiple colors out of their noses. This last part actually helped the teachers find out who the kids were who were trying 'drugs.'

That one gave me a chuckel! Thanks Driver, I needed that.

Snorting bath salts sounds painful as hell.

Get these kids some marijuana before they hurt themselves doing those things.

So much irony in that statement.

I know in Amsterdam, the con-artists sell the American kids laundry detergent(over there it looks more like cocaine). I can only imagine the rude surprise.

The "Bath Salts" in question are not bath salts at all. Rather it is a name used to circumvent the law much like the K2 herbal incense I see for sale. Both products are rapidly becoming illegal , and will probably fade out once the penalty/price is the same as it is for more traditional drugs. On a side note. It never ceases to amaze me the simple view some folks take of drug users. They come from all walks of life... winners ..losers .. rich and poor. Some are the scum of the earth..others are downright nice people. Applying a stereotype label to any group of people is narrow minded in my opinion. You might as well judge all germans for the actions of the WW2 era nazis, or all mexicans for the crimes of the drug cartels. I don't use any drugs of an illegal nature myself, but I've known a lot of folks who have or still do. They aren't all monsters, thieves and degenerates. I've also known a lot of "Straight" people who I wouldn't turn my back on for a second.
