Making Bath Salts Illegal: Safety for our Children
The American Association of Poison Control Centers (http://www.aapcc.org/dnn/Portals/0/prrel/BathSalts11811.pdf) issued a press in 2011 raising the alarm about toxic substances marketed as ‘bath salts’ and said states are beginning to take action. The products cause increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, agitation, hallucinations, extreme paranoia and delusions.
They are available on the Internet for about $20. Parents should be especially cautious and monitor their children’s spending closely, especially if there have been any reports of ‘bath salts’ usage in the area, if the kids talk about the latest cool and cheap way to get high, or parents notice unusual behavior that could indicate drug use.
Poison control centers across the country are ready to answer questions about ‘bath salts’ or any other product that could pose harm to users. Contact the poison control center at 1-800-222-1222

Bath Salts is reported to be worse than, cocaine, heroin, and even crystal meth. It is suppose to be a severe hallucinogen and it maybe a "trip" that a person may not be able to come back from. It needs to be banned, made illegal, basically it needs to be destroyed. The manufactures need to be served with a warrant to stop manufacturing the product, immediately, and if its not made here, quit allowing it into our country. What is the matter with our government? Isn't there enough drugs out there killing our children and our friends. Why waste millions of dollars on researching it, when the damage is in front of you, get rid of it. How many more people need to get hurt, or die, or get addicted? Allowing this to go on is basically saying a person could make anything, any type of drug, call it insense, put on the package, "not for human consumption", and sell it? This is what it has come to, to make money? Are Bath Salts Taxed?

Why is this important?
The products have also been linked to suicides, not to mention hospitalizations, and on Tuesday investigators confirmed the presence of bath salt drugs in the blood of a man who killed a sheriff's deputy in Tippah County, Miss., ABC News reported.
