bathsalts epidemic

Why have the police and the people of Benton allowed this crap to take over. Don't we ha e enough problems in this town aready?

The police cannot possibly monitor every person that is or could possibly be taking a drug of any kind. If people are stupid enough to want to take it, there is nothing you can do about it other than hope they get caught.

Yep

The laws as they are written make it tough to deal with bath salts, as they are sold as potpourri, they are legal for the most part at this time. The testing for them is slow to develop and when an ingredient is labeled as illegal the manufacturers change the chemical composition until the law and testing catch up again. Then we start the process all over.

We are fighting what seems to be a never ending battle. Laws are being put in place to help address users but as with any new laws they take time to be put in effect and to address any contested legality issues that come along.

One of those things where the substance itself is legal to purchase but it is being used well outside it's intended purpose.

who cares! their not bath salts anyways! their different now! and what difference does it make to you if your not doing them? i mean if the government would use their brains! its legal so their obviously taxing it..so use the money to fix roads! update hospitals! update schools! but instead the government is using the money so lazy a$$ cops can sit in expensive dodge chargers and suv and harrass people

Its better than meth

well its better than kids huffin gas or freeon!hell lets make those illegal too!

I am not a user of drugs of any kind, but sadly there are many I have known to go down that road. There is always going to be something that is "over taking" the towns and people. Sadly, the pattern is when the economy is down, drug use and crime are on the rise. This new drug fad will be something else next year. My only hopes is that it is something a little less volatile. I mean, boiling of organs, and eating peoples faces are pretty nasty business.

Uhhhh. Bath salt is retarded. It is worse than meth because its more readily available. And anybody can buy it. The solution is to get a gun. Someone tries eating your face or robbing you, SHOOT THEM IN THE FUCKING FACE!! And let the corner sorth through weather they were all hopped up on somethin or just retarded from the start.

Well dumbass; we should be concerned. Have you noticed that this makes people violent. Sorry but I don't want too be driving the same streets with salt heads. Didn't some kid attack his friend the other day around here. Bet bath salts were involved.. Bad enough we have and alcohol and meth problem in this piece of shit town; guess we will soon have a new epidemic. You sound young and incredibly stupid.

People are different, and react different to certain chemicals. These drugs especially bath salts, are very unpredictable, and have been proven to give people different reactions. IMO, bath salts are way more dangerous than your everyday drugs that are natural. Noone knows what long term affects they will have on your mind and body, but I would think that it could be very, very bad. I have no tolerance for them personally, and would be fine with locking up users and distributors indefinetly!

The sad thing is you never know when one of the saltheads are gonna freak out, break into your grandparents house and hurt them. The shit is ALFUL!!!!
