Everything you ever wanted to know about bath salts.

[Ns1]

Shit, I think I missed the boat to become a legal drug dealer.

Smoke shop owners shrugged off concerns that they were destroying their community. After all, bath salts weren’t illegal and they were very profitable. Stores bought Amped units wholesale for $5 and sold them for $25. Your run-of-the-mill small-time drug dealer might make $50 flipping an ounce of weed or double his investment with a pound of cocaine. Tobacco-store owners moving a conservative 30 packets a day could easily net over $200,000 a year.

The owners of D.K. Tobacco are Sudanese refugees, and many in the neighborhood regarded the sale of bath salts as an act of national ingratitude. The resentment only grew as store owners flaunted their profits. One rolled up in a new Nissan, which he said he had bought in cash. On another occasion, he flashed a cashier’s check worth the full amount of a new house. “I can’t believe that they didn’t know what they were doing,” said a neighboring business owner who asked not to be named. “Avarice took over. And it was legal.”

Does anyone know if bath salts show up on a typical pre-employment urinalysis?

 

[MontyAC]

Yes, bath salt usage can be tested.

the desire to intoxicate is symptomatic of a problem be it legal or illegal intoxicants.

I can think of many behaviors and personality traits unrelated to desire to intoxicate that are symptomatic of an internal "problem"


Also, never-mind that the desire to intoxicate is an evolutionary-inherited trait that extends from before our tree-swinging ancestors to even the simplest metabolizing critters that preceded them.

1/10th the number that cigarettes kills every year. In the USA alone deaths from alcohol run about 50,000 a year and smoking is close to 500,000 a year.

The tests probably aren't designed to detect it. I think the cannibal guy in FL really was on it, but media reported that "no bath salts were detected in his system" because the test only showed marijuana.

the more you know about alcohol the more you will want to stay away from it in any of it's forms. Deaths don't tell the whole story. Nearly all domestic violence and violent crime is alcohol related.

sure it does. i am evil because i smoke weed. and the only reason people tell me its bad is because its illegal. you cant have it both ways.

when the bath salt homeless face eating thing came out, and was reported that it wasnt bath salts after all, i had a guy at work tell me "yea, it wasnt bath salts. it was just pot he was smoking."

Simply not being retarded and getting drunk solves all the alcohol related issues. Nothing wrong with some beer, wine, whiskey, or whatever in moderation. Getting drunk is basically overdosing.
