I just saw a commercial for the upcoming 5pm news. They said....

"Over 1,000 pounds of drugs were taken off the streets one day after bath salts become illegal"

WHAT ON EARTH are they talking about? If they were trying to make a big bust and just decided they would make something silly illegal to do so.....they succeeded!

    I'm sure smoking bath salts wouldn't harm anyone.

    we must protect ourselves from ourselves!
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    These are "bath salts" made overseas that are actually some kind of meth.

    Same as the K-2 that was supposed to be an incenses, but was actually a synthetic pot.

    I am not saying anyone should have been arrested, or that drugs should be outlawed. Merely I am pointing out what they are.

    Not only are they smoking it, but also ingesting, snorting and shooting up the garbage.

    Its the Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (yes that is a word) Better known as (MDPV) mostly found in imported bath salts they are after.

    The effects are similar to cocaine and crystal meth.

    Keep this in mind. When a fellow gets pulled over for a DUI, he's being pulled over for driving under the influence of a substance that is in one way or another, altering his ability to function correctly.
    That said, if someone is dumb enough to smoke bath salts and actually get a buzz to the point it effects their ability to perform, then arrest their butts! It'll keep the rest of us safer.

    ATLANTA -- Georgia lawmakers moved one step closer toward banning a new brand of synthetic drug that is marketed as bath salts and sold legally under brand names like Ivory Wave and Cloud Nine.
    The Georgia House Judiciary Non-Civil Committee voted Wednesday to outlaw the five main chemicals used to create "bath salts," which are drugs usually snorted like cocaine but also can be smoked and injected. It was adopted by a 7-1 vote.
    State Rep. Jay Neal, R-LaFayette, said the proposal is needed to put an end to a dangerous trend that's spread across the nation and is now surfacing in Georgia.
    The lone opposition to the proposal came from Republican state Rep. Bobby Franklin of Marietta, who suggested that lawmakers should focus on fighting alcohol abuse.

    As I understand it this "stuff" doesn't show up on the breath or blood tests so arrests are based on officers observations of the driver and how the driver was operating the vehicle.
