D.A.R.E. To Keep Kids Off Bath Salts

Schumer wants to ban bath salts - “a range of water-soluble, usually inorganic solid products designed to be added to a bath” - on the off chance that a kid might try to smoke them, which can cause “hallucinations, paranoia, suicidal thoughts and death”.

Legalization Nation has just learned that smoking a wide variety of products available at Bed Bath & Beyond can get a person high, not just bath salts. And let's not even get into the kitchen or garage, where nutmeg and paint has a long tradition of messing up fourth graders.

The pending ban brings us again to the humor at the totalitarian core of prohibition: anything that can be misused is subject to a ban to ensure public health and safety. We simply cannot trust parents or grandparents with the freedom to take baths. There is simply too much at stake.

I think he's confused.

A wide variety (all of them right?) of products at bed bath and beyond will indeed NOT get you high. Mostly like soap and fragrances and such.

I don't think Schumer realized these are specially aimed at legal high headshops to get you amped.

EDIT: what if someone put a 500mg bag of MDPV in their bath?
 
I always wondered what would happen if someone actually tried to have a bath with these "bath salts." I'm sure it would lead to accidents/death, especially in the case of 500mg of MDPV; that would be a scary bath. I think some caution is needed in determining which harmless products you can disguise RC's as, just in case someone accidentally uses them for their labelled use.

Similarly, if some kids read this article and think, "wow we can get high off of bathroom products!", then there will be a whole other issue to deal with.

And think of all the nice plant owners who buy their plants special food, only to have their plants get addicted to some new drug.
 
Would 500mg of mdpv in a bath do anything.

I'd assume you have what 100 litres of water in a bath?

So thats 5mg/l. I don't swallow any water when I bath let alone 1 litre and anything going up the backhole would be too dilute surely?
 
Where are the facts?

My bf keeps telling me that if I keep doing it, it will cause brain damage...
Pretty sure thats not gonna happen at a few times a week, 25mg each.
Seriously!
 
The media hype around "bath salts" has gotten ridiculous... I think even the white house had something to say about it 8). They can ban peevee, but what's to stop the companies involved from doing what they did in the case of the UK -- merely substituting other unknown chemicals and saying "this one is legal everywhere"?

I have no evidence that it would cause harm but if a chemical can be absorbed through the skin then 500mg of it being in contact with your skin sounds dangerous at least in theory. Instead of MDPV just substitute one of the many chemicals that absorb well through the skin and the same issue applies. Either way, I hope no one takes a bath with bath salts they buy from a headshop as there is no real method for a common user to determine which combination of bath salts they may have.
 
So does anyone know whats in these bath salts that have recently shown up in American Headshops?? I've always known about them and how u could order them off the internet but some the stuff in the headshops are different names then ones in Europe.. im just wondering, i hear they are all pretty horrible anyways.

Was in a headshop last Saturday & they had bath salts in a small glass vial for $25.00. I was asking the girl about the bath salts & she said its pretty strong stuff. You gitta snort small lines & slowly increase if you need more. She said there is some hallucinogenic chemicals in the bath salts. Its pretty strong for being legal she said. They also had "plant food" for sale, whatever that is.
 
I just looked at Schumer's Senate website & found that what he really wants to do is ban MDPV & mephedrone. I see nothing about banning actual bath salts. Unless I missed something, I think Schumer's getting the short end of the stick here.
 
lol it's like when the media in the UK tried to say mephedrone was supposed to be given to plants as fertilizer..

Does my head when people like this try to "educate" people on the subject they know nothing about. Fucking stupid.

"a range of water-soluble, usually inorganic solid products designed to be added to a bath”

I mean come on! How can someone (or even a whole group of people) be so ignorant??

And 500mg of MDPV in a bath would be a waste of MDPV and a very expensive bath :p

Edit: Just read the bit about Bed Bath and Beyond.. lol wtf are these people serious??

And it's true.. people have huffed paint for a long time.. lets ban paint!! (And who keeps nutmeg in the garage?)

D.A.R.E. and that news company need to be destroyed.
 
how is it that people (especially Bluelighters) are consistently befuddled by the intentional mislabeling of retail psychoactives? Why is this concept untenable?

D.A.R.E. = paranoid people with propaganda as their tool.
 
this is why I get soooooo annoyed reading did too much bath salt x and I am having the worse time what should I do topics. I hate irresponsibility after its been said on here so many times....BE CAREFUL

If only everyone where to shut up about certain things then problems like this wouldn't arise. It's called not being a flapping at the jaw or in this case typing up stupid things for forums.
