Will someone please tell me why "we" are so obsessed with stopping people from using "bath salts" and losing their lives? Personally, I don't understand what the big deal about all of this is. Seriously, if someone is lacking in personal responsibility and sense of worth enough to want to obliterate their brains and possibly lives doing this type of "non-drug" to get loaded, then let's permit them to do so. Heck, let's encourage them to do so and clean up the gene pool just a little. This is not a joke, nor am I being satirical. I am "as serious as a heart attack" as the saying goes. So much time, effort and money is spent on trying to prevent people from doing ridiculous things to themselves with drugs, non-drugs that have drug-like properties, alcohol, risky behavior, etc. that we as a state and a nation are bankrupting ourselves and mortgaging the future of untold generations to no avail. So, let's stop wasting money on efforts that have not worked in the past, are not working presently, and, given the track record of efforts to stop this kind of idiocy to date, will not work in the future either. Let's use that money to feed the hungry, clothe those less fortunate, provide shelter for the homeless and so on.
Let's let the "bath salts" people kill themselves off if they are stupid enough to use the stuff. Let them learn the hard way that stupidity does indeed have a price, and, that often that price is lack of life or diminution of the quality of life. Let's stop trying to prevent them from using and abusing these things because it is a waste of time, energy, intent and above all else, money, which is so hard to come by in the first place.
As for me, I'm going to go run a nice hot bath and toss in some nice smelling bath salts of the legitimate variety and take a long soak in the tub and think about more pleasant things.
