I wonder if the reporter expensed the mountain dew.
ReplyDeleteon topic: the sooner this stuff is outlawed and the cops can do something, likely the better. I'm typically against restrictions and such, but c'mon, what's the benefit of this garbage? All it does is highlight the trashy drug problem we have.
Gonna ban spray paint, or gas next? The key is not to ban it, the key is to teach your kid not to be a dumbass.
ReplyDeleteThose substances have other purposes and (i believe but am not positive) are not as strong and dangerous as what it sounds like these bath salts are.
ReplyDeleteI never knew a thing about how to use these products for these unintended uses till the media showed it over and over and explained how. Perhaps they should not go into such detail, just gives kids ideas. There are age restrictions on spray paint and white out and other items, guess there needs to be on the bath salts now as well
ReplyDeleteBE: "Bath Salt" has no other purpose except as a synthetic drug that can be sold over-the-counter. Spray paint and gas has other purposes. Bath salt needs to be banned and to argue otherwise makes you the dumbass.
ReplyDeleteRight, instead of teaching these little idiots not to do such things, you just ban everything they find to snort of their noses. Much more logical.
ReplyDeleteIt's not called being young and stupid, it's called natural selection.
Neither I, nor my friends, nor anyone we ran with did drugs, or tried to snort various household products to get high, so chocking it up as the ignorance of youth is a cop out. It's on the parents to raise your kids right in the first place.
Teach your kids right, and they won't try this stupid stuff, or constantly try to live two steps ahead and ban everything they can find to get high off of.
BE: You must not be informed...for once. The "bath salts" being ingested by the youth are not the bath salts used for baths. It is a synthetic substance used for only getting high. It is legal and sold in stores. I agree that parents must educate their children, but some kids are destined to try anything, so this man-made substance must be banned. Also, "natural selection" is a cop out for allowing the government to ban extremely harmful substances. Little government, big government...it doesn't matter. This substance has to be taken off the shelves of our stores.
ReplyDeleteHermie: I agree....if these "bath salts" have no other use besides a drug that is causing great harm to kids AND adults, why is it still on the shelves?? Parents do need to educate their kids but its hard to always be one step ahead of this stuff....who even knew about it until someone had a major issue from it? What about the stores too....if I was a manager, it would be taken off the shelves. $20 in a major corporation like Speedways pocket is not worth the guilt from having a child die after they purchase from you!
