'Bath salts': Officials say the synthetic drug in disguise was behind recent ‘canniba

Links to two articles I have seen on this topic follow.


The first, from the NY Daily News, is ridiculously slanted, dangerously uninformed, and sensationalist.
The second, from Forbes, is much, much more balanced and realistic.
But I believe I see a remarkable similarity between the two.
They share something - the same old trick on how the media doesn't just reflect public opinion, but controls it -
the same assumptions about the government's role in permitting individual freedom of choice
in the realm of consciousness (and, some would say, in many other realms as well).

“If you take the worst attributes of meth, coke, PCP, LSD and Ecstasy and put them together, that’s what we’re seeing sometimes,” Mark Ryan, the director of the Louisiana Poison Center, told the New York Times.

Use skyrocketed throughout last year, mostly by teens and young adults, until in October the DEA banned three chemicals used to make the drug.

Several states have issued a ban on the drug but no federal ban exists.

Users experience a mix of physical and psychological symptoms. The stimulant can cause excited delirium and severe hallucinations. Users can become violent and suicidal. People often experience a super-human strength, and long-lasting euphoria or paranoia, reports say.

The health consequences, like high blood pressure and rapid heart rate, can be fatal.

Because of the nature of the symptoms the drug has been linked to many violent and crazed crimes and deaths like the recent “zombie” attack.

Last year, a man in Indiana climbed a flagpole on the side of a road and jumped into traffic. Another man in Pennsylvania broke into a monastery and stabbed a priest, and a woman in West Virginia scratched herself 'to pieces' because she thought there was something under her skin, the New York Times reported.

Nudity is common because the drug causes body temperature to rise so fast and so high people feel like they're burning up and take off their clothes, reported the Daily Beast.

The powerful stimulant can cause super strength and in many cases hospital officials or police say it takes several people to hold down a user, the Times reported. The person often won’t respond to a stun gun or taser, the paper said.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency has classified bath salts as a Schedule 1 drug, labeling it as highly addictive and illegal. The agency banned mephedrone, MDPV and methoyne, the common ingredients in the drug.

The ban is in place for a year while the DEA studies whether it should be made permanently illegal.

However, banning synthetic drugs if often ineffective, experts say. Bath salts are a designer drug, meaning the chemical concoction can be tweaked slightly and classified as a new drug, making it easy to skirt around the law.

What, exactly, does it mean to "cause super strength"?

Are the powers that be planning to use the War on Bath Salts as an excuse to commit atrocious acts of police violence? Or will this situation just develop naturally?

And the way that it ends seems calculated to help induce mass hysteria.

"Bath Salts are Evil! We must ban them!
But even banning them won't work..
We need more money for police and federal wiretapping programs!
You must live in fear and accept any war we claim is justified (based on confidential information)"



The Second article, from Forbes:
Synthetic Drug 'Bath Salts': Did It Cause The Cannibal Attack And Why Can't The Feds Stop It?


The concern over synthetic drugs has come to a head in recent months, according to experts, and evidenced by events in Miami last weekend. On Saturday, Rudy Eugene was fatally shot by police for gruesomely and repeatedly biting into another man’s face. President of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police Armando Aguilar believes that bath salts, a synthetic drug, is an underlying culprit in Eugene’s disturbing attack.

Bath salts are highly addictive and apparently elicit intense cravings similar to methamphetamines. They act on the brain like other stimulants, and are sometimes referred to as a “cocaine substitutes.” Also known as “White Rush, Cloud Nine, Ivory Wave, Ocean Snow, Charge Plus, White Lightning, Scarface, Hurricane Charlie, Red Dove, White Dove, and Sextasy,” their most common side effects are agitation, fast heart rate, and hallucinations and delusions, seizures, high blood pressure, and paranoia, according to the CDC. Deaths have also been linked to the drug.

One recent CDC study found that the majority of 35 patients brought to the ER for overdose had injected the drug. The same report suggested that for the one person who died from it, that MDPV was the chemical most likely linked to the death. Many of patients also had other drugs, like cocaine, benzodiazepines, opiates, marijuana, or amphetamines, in their systems at the time.

totally agree with you guys. ive rarely read an accurate assumption that someone did something bad because of drugs. Whenever cops say something is a "new form of a drug" they mean umm we have no idea what the exact cause is. Its just really hard to believe that a drug that many have consumed caused this one reaction to one person. if it was the drug why hasnt other people done something like this?
 
Has anyone considered Datura or another atropine plant...???

I have read a LOT about 'bath salts' and MDPV... I know that people have had almost immediate psychosis from MDPV, some it takes a day or two of pretty normal use. I have not heard of any of them actually becoming violent. I have heard of many cases of people under the influence of atropine's being very violent, almost completely numb to physical pain and erratic. I have never seen another plant/class of drug that truly turns people into 'zombies'
All those stories of people being dosed with scopolamine and being willed into emptying their apartments or bank accounts to their attacker. That is a zombie if you ask me.
The guy was Haitian. I know that not all Haitian's practice voodoo, but maybe this guy decided to dabble. Datura has been used in voodoo practices for ages!
I bet it was just datura... it's strange that everyone would assume it is RC's
