Drugs sold as bath salts easy to buy

Quote:
New York (CNN) -- The "bath salts" arrive in quarter-size plastic containers showing a sun lingering over a blue horizon and the promise "to energize your mind, body & soul."
These are not actually bath salts -- they're dangerous synthetic stimulants that look like cocaine, with similar effects.
When inhaled or ingested, the white powder can cause paranoia, hallucinations, convulsions and psychotic episodes.
Poison control centers around the country are reporting an uptick in calls about "bath salts." And according to authorities, people have ended up at emergency rooms and in psychiatric wards after taking the stimulant.
"They might take it one day and be fine and take it another day and they might actually die," says Special Agent Gary Boggs of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
MDVP or methodrone was recently banned in Louisiana and Florida. Sen. Charles Schumer has called for the chemical to be put on the controlled substance list.
Sold at tobacco shops, gas stations, and head shops, the drug can also be bought on the internet.
"With drugs like these, there's no back street alleyway where you're meeting your drug dealer," says Boggs. "You googled your drug dealer and got it delivered to your own home with a credit card."
One online distributor said demand for the brand "Bliss" was so high, the suppliers had sold out. Instead, the seller promised to send two 500 mg vials of a similar product, "Serenity Now," with twice the potency.
The DEA is trying to alert young people and parents about the dangers of "bath salts," which are undetectable in drug tests.
MDPV blocks the neurotransmitter chemical dopamine from being reabsorbed into the brain. When it's used over the long term, the brain stops manufacturing dopamine, which affects a person's ability to feel pleasure.
"That consequently turns into paranoia, anxiety and can be very dangerous," says Boggs.
Police in Panama City, Florida, have attributed two violent incidents to the use of these drugs. They said a woman who snorted "bath salts" allegedly tried to behead her 71-year-old mother. They also said a man on "bath salts" used his teeth to tear up the back seat of a patrol car.
Authorities say the chemicals are made in places like China, Pakistan and India.
There are no manufacturing regulations and often no listed ingredients.
"You just don't know what you're buying (or) what you're putting in your body," says Boggs.

Hmm, happen to know which brand has methedrone in it? I have no desire to try MDPV, but methedrone looks interesting.

Oh my fucking God! Teeth used for chewing solid materials? Well I never!
EDIT: The guy in the video was spewing cunt scrapings and nothing more.
"It can do one thing to you the first time and then you can take again and it can kill you." --- WRONG. You take it once, it does one thing. You take it again, it does the same thing. If you take MORE it can kill you.
"On a scale from 1-10 how scary is this? I'd say about a 15." --- Oh how fucking cute, telling retarded parents with jelly bellies and no thoughts of their own exactly what to think and feel. Manufacturing consent, nothing more, nothing less.
Then he mentions the long term effects, for which he provides---count it---drumroll please--- ZERO evidence.
It's human shit extract like this that makes me wish for a nuclear attack, just to get us focused on something important.

Yah the reporter is an idiot. No such thing as "methodrone" or "MDVP"... Mephedrone (4-mmc) & MDPV on the other hand .
If any vendor was foolish enough to sell methedrone (PMMC or bk-PMMA) then they deserve the shit storm that they will undoubtedly face.

The video veggie posted makes me sick... the most bullshit propaganda ridden stuff i have seen in a while for here in the USA.
"I'm holding a jar of poison..." is what the women says at the end of the video with the bath salts in her hand... and i GUARANTEE i fucking 100% GUARANTEE she has a bottle of vodka in her house somewhere and that is a bottle of poison she is going to ingest.

That is frightening, just another result of drug prohibition.

"bath salts" won't go away once the current ones are banned.. there will ALWAYS be new "bath salts" to replace the illegal ones. we all know this.. why's it taking everyone else so long to figure it out?

Pretty scary ain't it. It seems that they come up with a new euphoric stimulant on an almost weekly basis and a lot of them have same capability for driving you as batshit insane as a 5 day meth binge, only with a single unweighed dose (I'm thinking mdpv, naphyrone, 2-DPMP etc where the dose is tiny and it is often mis-sold).
Ugh.. greed is always our downfall. Fucking humans.

This is the kind of shit the DEA really should be going after.
Anyone that snorts a random white powder that you buy at the headshop with no knowledge of the chemical makeup needs to re-examine their priorities.

Ya they need to get the name right before they even go about saying bad things about it .
I mean shit the stuff is the devil i know first hand , (MDPV - PVEE) that is . But ya you could misdose a single one but its not going to run you in the ground for 5 days off one dose .
1 good dose of mdpv (10-15mg) will have you tweaked for 6-10 hours if you dont do another one lol. Many dont have any self control so they get wrecked by this stuff . Moderate use which is 1-2 times a week and only 2-3 doses each time is fine . BUT anymore and your asking for trouble and BAD trouble . I would hate to see a meth head get ahold of this as it might kill them . First dose for someone with no control will most definately have them back at the store AGAIN AND AGAIN after the finish the first gram . They sell it here in 250 mg containers and no more than a gram at a time which is good. But they almost never turn down a sale to someone tweaked .Just got back from the arab mart and there was a guy tweakin out man , fumbling over his words looking at everyone askin cashier to turn off camera lol.
They should put a limit on those guys , even though they will prob just goto the next store .
Stuff is no good though , unless your a tweaker with control lol then your in heaven as a gram could last someone with control over 1 week or more .
