Bath
Salts
Not a street or club drug we all know, but a
household item, Ivory Wave bath salt. Misuse of the bath
salt has the same effects as meth, and is actually banned
in Scotland following deaths related to the misuse of
he product.
They are calling the bath salts synthetic cocaine. The
usage of this product is a fast-growing, highly addictive
trend. Young people are saying they can’t get enough
of the fake coke, and it's doing a lot of damage. Teens
are reporting that they were using K-2 but have moved
on to the fake coke “Charge” now.
“Bath salts” or “Charge” or “Ivory,”
the new “Miaow, Miaow”, they’re different
names for different types of> cocaine substitutes. People
say it looks just like cocaine, but what it does to you
is even worse.
Ivory Wave bath salt is a cheap way to get high. Family
members are reporting that their loved ones are staying
awake for as long as 72 hours in complete pandemonium.
This new addiction is landing teens and adults in the
emergency rooms.
Lee County Sheriff, Jim Johnson says: "Hallucinations,
seeing things that weren't there. We had one individual
in the backseat of our car that was just absolutely paranoid
because he felt like cars were trying to run over him
while he was in the patrol car."
Some stores have pulled the product out of their shelves
after finding out about the disturbances related to the
misuse of the salt bath. For now, as it is legal and there
is no penalty for selling the product some stores are
keeping Ivory Wave bath salts it in stock, sadly cashing
in on the addiction of others.
If you or someone you know has gotten involved with this
highly addictive substance or any other drug, please seek
help before it’s too late. For immediate attention
seek your nearest emergency room..
