bath salts?

Have you heard about bath salts? I don't mean the kind that dissolve in a tub of hot water. Apparently, this is a new kind of drug. The state I live in has tried to pass laws to control the chemicals that go together to make this drug. The Hubs works at a local emergency room, they received warnings about patients presenting who had been using bath salts.

This week there was an article in a local paper on the topic: Richmond Times-Dispatch

I learned from this article, the drug they are trying to replicate is one grown in East Africa called khat. I have driven through khat fields in Kenya. It is a hallucinogenic and very lucrative.

It seems there is nothing new under the sun...
