Bath Salts or Bath Salts? Calgon, Take Me Away!

Hello Fellow Travelers!

Once I heard from a reliable source that some kids were injecting Bath Salts, I set out to discover what they  were or weren't.  I found out people purchased this stuff until recently at really classy joints like head shops and gas stations.  (Don't blame me, Wikipedia says that!)  Bath salts (the drug) look just like bath salts (lame and dusty gift) hence the name.  But that's where the similarity ends.  I don't feel too bad about missing this particular trend, it wasn't a glimmer in the DEA's eye until 2010.  It's still pretty lame.  Bath salts?  Oh no! (Remember Jean Nate?  You were never entirely sure what it was but it was always hangin' around your mother's tub!)

Cocaine and heroin are drugs we can respect and fear.  Whatever happened to Crack?  You never hear about Crack anymore and I thought it sounded real scary.  Those are all scary reasons for us to rationalize the multi billions we Americans spend every year in a drug war that we are losing.  I don't believe any politician could scare the country to the same extent by telling us persuasive stories about the new scourge:  Bath Salts?

So, I'm glad I could solve that mystery for you.  OK, OK, so I was the only one who was mystified, no need to make a Federal case out of it!  Maybe there is a need make a Federal case, who knows?  Maybe some enterprising attorney has already filed a suit.  In Federal Court.  I hope it's already being litigated someplace but with my luck these days I'll run across the previously mentioned enterprising lawyer trolling for claimants on the same stupid channel that has attorneys soliciting claimants who have had problems with their Mesh Sling Implant.   More mystery, Sheesh!  Some things are meant to stay mysterious.
