Authorities Link 4 Deaths in Less than
2 Weeks to Synthetic Drugs, Bath
Salt
March 29, 2011 - wowktv.com
State Police Sgt. Andy Perdue says his hands are tied.
While synthetic drugs remain legal, there's nothing he or his office
can do about the growing and increasingly dangerous problem.
Just in March, they've investigated four deaths linked to bath salt and
more than 10 overdoses.
"There's not much we can do right now," said Perdue. "That's one of the
problems we're having."
Aside from arresting someone who is driving under the influence,
there's not much that can be done.
Women outside of a Logan County convenience store, who asked not to be
identified, said they buy the bath salt because its the best in the
industry, not for a hallucinogenic high.
They argue that many products, if abused, can be deadly, just like
these bath salts. There's no reason to take them off the market.
"You'd have to ban cigarettes, and beer and everything else."
That, however, is exactly where Perdue sees the situation going: To end
the deaths, it will have to be taken off the market.
"[The solution] is to stop selling it," said Perdue. "Outlaw it if we
have to."

Nobody would be doing bath salts if they could get their hands on their supposed, already illegal, analogues. Ban these and you will just see a flood of even more controversial and untested chemical analogues. Banfail.

As soon as some misinformed teens dies from a drug we MUST ban it to prevent more deaths! My little cousin had a birthday party at a skating rink and I remember thinking to myself "This is dangerous, I wonder how many kids have died doing this shit." Under the same logic skating should be banned; maybe even trampolines, mini-bikes, rollercoasters, surf/snow boarding, swimming in general or even driving. I mean, all of them are killing our children. Why not ban them too?

Nah, bro. We need to ban god from making things that die. That's the ultimate solution.
