The following is a post from an Anonymous Revscene member who did not wish to be identified
i tried bath salts a couple of years ago in vegas when i was down there with my boys. we couldnt find anything to party with so soome guy told us to try them and it wasnt bad. it wasnt like coke lol. it was kinda like being really hyper and on e but it tasted like shit. if ur stupid and you do a lot i guess you can get really get fuked up. it was that ivory wave stuff
Nah its not Epsom salts, it's an engineered compound made specifically to get high
To the anonymous poster, you must be either dumb or scared to not be able to find "party favours" in Vegas lol
Watch the Drugs INC on designer drugs, there is this seemingly BS story at the beggining about a kid who slit his own throat, his dad then took him to the hospital and was later in the night released, then the next morning they found him in the garage dead with a .22 in his mouth
The whole thing sounded like BS though and a "don't do bath salts" scare story
The federal government said Tuesday it intends to put a street drug known as "bath salts" under the same regulations as cocaine and heroin.
Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq said the government will place the key ingredient in the drug, MDPV, under Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act. The move will make possessing, trafficking, importing and exporting, or manufacturing the drug a criminal offence.
"This action shows our government's commitment to protecting the health and safety of Canadians from this dangerous substance," Aglukkaq told reporters.
"This action helps give law enforcement the tools they need to keep our streets safe from this new and emerging drug that ruins lives and causes havoc in communities across the country."
MDPV, or methylenedioxypyrovalerone, is a synthetic amphetamine that delivers a powerful high. It is also known to cause dangerous side effects, such as violent hallucinations, fear and can lead to a feeling of paranoia.
The drug has earned the nickname "bath salts" because the finished product resembles the scented bath products found in many Canadian homes.
The drug was implicated in a grisly attack in Miami on May 26, when one man chewed the flesh off another man's face on a highway as horrified motorists looked on. Police were unable to subdue the attacker, 31-year-old Rudy Eugene, and shot him dead.
Officers have speculated that Eugene, whose family described him as a mild-mannered individual who rarely drank or did drugs, may have taken MDPV.
In the wake of that incident, U.S. officials moved to regulate MDPV, "and now Canadian authorities are doing the same thing," reported CTV News Channel's Mercedes Stephenson.
Fredericton Police Chief Barry MacKnight said MDPV is difficult for police to track in Canada because it is legal. However, its presence is growing in Canada, particularly in the Atlantic provinces, as well as in Ontario and in the West.
"This drug, along with the behaviours associated to those who have been using the bath salts, are a serious concern to the police and many others in our communities," said MacKnight, who chairs the drug-abuse committee of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police.
"This is sending a strong message to Canadians and especially young Canadians, that this drug is harmful, while also allowing enforcement agencies to deal with those who victimize some of the most vulnerable in our communities -- the young and those suffering from addiction -- by selling this drug."
The proposed changes are first subject to a 30-day comment period, then are sent on to the Treasury Board as a series of new regulations. The Treasury Board would then approve the changes and publish them in the Canada Gazette, likely in the fall.
While that process can take between one and two years, the government intends to fast-track the process over concerns about the drug's effects.
"We owe it to our children and our communities to remove these serious health threats as quickly as we possibly can," Aglukkaq said.
Thank you! I thought they were actual bath salts. I was going to go to shoppers and ask if these are the ones that get me high. I would have looked like an idiot.

There are stories of people EATING PEOPLE. Do you think they needed to make that one up to scare people?
There's another story about some guy that ran into the street naked, got hit by a cab, beat up the cab driver and passengers and it took 10 cops to take the guy down. What's more shocking is the guy was like 5'9" and 155lbs but supposedly the drug makes you feel larger and more powerful. I'm also shocked that this drug doesn't make your heart stop.

Except paint thinner and gasoline aren't sold for the sole purpose of being ingested as a drug
