“Bath Salts” is an awful drug, they  are so addicting that users crave the drug even after experiencing a trip to the Emergency Room with psychotic episodes brought on by hallucinations and delusions of super-human strength.  Unlike Meth and Cocaine, however, standard Emergency Room procedures for treating Meth and Cocaine overdose do not work well with “Bath Salts.”  Administering Valium to patients suffering from the toxic effects of “Bath Salts” does not result in positive responses to treatment.
Standard hospital treatment for drug overdose does not work effectively on “Bath Salts.”  Even when patients come off of sedation, behavior has been shown to revert back to the uncontrollable state of psychosis.  As a warning to young people experimenting with this drug, the effects of “Bath Salts” may be permanent.  Cases of violent suicide are numerous and growing fatalities are reported to Poison Control authorities.  For all intents and purposes, this drug is extremely toxic and may result in permanent brain damage.  The chemical ingredients found in “Bath Salts” are also found in various forms of insecticide, as well as chemical treatment programs designed to kill aqueous algae and fungus.  Further research is required in order to determine the long-term effects of using this drug and how to effectively sedate patients suffering from toxic psychotic states.
I hope that I have scared you enough that you will not want to try them again. Go to an emergency room and ask for help if you are inclined to use them. It is as good as trying to commit suicide. Sooner or later. Ask for psychiatric help. I am that serious.

This is crazy! Selling this poison at gas stations? What is this world coming to??? Can't someone do something about stopping the manufacture of this stuff? I read posts on here and I get sad thinking about what is going on in people's lives that drives them to use substances  recreationally? Everyone should go to therapy.
