I wonder if that's what this guy got into?

Holy fuck. Can anyone enlighten me as to what the fuck "Bath Salts" actually are? If they are actual bath salts this could be a rather fragrant zombie apocalypse.

Bad shit!  Mephedrone is a component, although there are about 4 different chemicals that have gone into bath salts in varying combinations.  And no, they definitely aren't for bathing.  They essentially provide an effect on the user that is like meth and cocaine combined.  Causes wild hallucinations and breaks from reality while doing a number on the circulatory system. 


There was an incident in Maine where a guy ran into the police HQ claiming the parking meters were chasing him. 


Seasoned drug addicts are saying "no thanks" to this stuff, it's THAT BAD.


It's being banned in many states and it has been banned federally for a year while more research is conducted.  I imagine there will eventually be a permanent ban. 


This is part of the new trend of substance abuse,namely, the synthetics.  We are seeing more and more of these substances enter into communities,  such as the. synthetic cannibinoids like K2 and now K3.  They get banned but the way they are banned is. by making certain chemicals or chemical "recipes" illegal.  So all the drug pushers need to do is tweak the formula just a bit and they are back in business.  And even then, these things can still easily be ordered over the internet.


It's really scary stuff.

Thanks for the added info. Have you got any sources I can look through? Anything reliable saying hardened drug users are giving it a pass has got to be interesting reading.

I recall a couple of reports about the Kony guy being under the influence of "bath salts" (Seems to be a catch all for unidentified synthetics containing mephedrone?) Given the range of possible reactions it's certainty possible. Probable. Pretty fucking likely.

An Egyptian court has sentenced ex-President Hosni Mubarak to life in prison for complicity in the killing of protesters during last year's uprising.

The 84-year-old is the first former leader to be tried in person since the start of the Arab Spring in early 2011.

But Mubarak suffered a "health crisis" as he was being transferred to prison, Egyptian state TV reported.

Former Interior Minister Habib al-Adly also got a life sentence, but the acquittal of four aides sparked fury.

Mubarak and his two sons were also acquitted on separate charges of corruption.

Shouting and scuffles erupted in court after the verdict was read out.

So expect Eygpt to be interesting again soon.

The verdicts and sentences

Hosni Mubarak: Guilty of conspiring in killing of protesters - life imprisonment; not guilty of corruption
Alaa and Gamal Mubarak: Not guilty of corruption
Former Interior Minister Habib al-Adly: Guilty of conspiring in killing of protesters - life imprisonment
Four aides of al-Adly: Not guilty of charges of complicity, instigation and providing assistance in the murder and attempted murder of protesters
Hussein Salem, business tycoon: Not guilty of corruption

Sidebar halfway down the article, I'm guessing that the "not guilty" on corruption is due to lack of evidence rather than a desire to let them go free. I'm basing this more from how long it took to start the process. If you can't hide the evidence by that point you're just asking to be caught. It will also be pretty interesting to see how the army end up handling any forthcoming protests, they've not been brilliant so far.

rench police are hunting a Canadian porn actor wanted for the murder and dismemberment of his lover.

Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, is thought to have flown from Montreal to Paris last weekend, say French police officials.

The suspect's alleged victim was Jun Lin, a 33-year-old Chinese student, Montreal police told the BBC.

A hand and a foot were posted to political parties in Ottawa on Tuesday and a headless torso was found behind Mr Magnotta's Montreal flat.

Same chap apparently wrote a blog post on "How to disappear". I guess we'll find out just how much he really knew about that kind of thing.

From the article:
"Also, "It was cheap. It was marketed as cheap, legal cocaine," he said."

War On Drugs by-product. Like all that salvia and damiana everybody was smoking because they were getting drug tested at work, just worse.

If it happens, maybe just merge it with the other crap thread like some chernobyl siamese twin.

Also, re: special attention: Possibly. It occurred to me too.
What did that sick fuck have to post here for, anyway?

Probably not, though I'm half surprised the Daily Mail has not yet run a "serial killer suspect member of Greek "chaos" cultist group" story yet.

My guess it's because he wants to be famous and was trying to get exposure on a lot of bigger forums for his eventual ickyness. Betcha he posted once or twice on a shit ton of forums, anticipating exactly this kind of reaction.

AUGH AUGH AUGH AUGH. My skin is crawling.

The thing with this one is, there's so much bullshit and country-jumping going on, it could drag out for years. Might never get to the bottom of all of it.
