Splish Splash I’ll be Taking a…Narcotic?!?!

June 1st, 2011

Looks like the bath salt business will be going down the drain soon enough thanks to the Nanny-State. Many states are looking into the bath salt abuse and trying to find out how to crack down on the bathtub favorite.

Turns out in Florida they’ve had an increase in phone calls reporting bath salt instances, where some were misusing the product. Yep, a whole 61 calls in a state of 18.5 million people. Sounds like an epidemic to me.

A state rep from Missouri is working hard to outlaw this “cocaine-like” treatment, while many other states are working hard to get it off the shelves. Even the Federal Drug Czar is concerned about the safety of children and these products. In an article from a Kansas newspaper the author writes:

The powder is more like a cousin to cocaine or methamphetamine. It can be snorted, injected or eaten. And it’s legal, at least for now, in Missouri and Kansas.

I’m dying to see where this type of legislation ends up.
