No source confirming it yet. If you read my first post, I said "suspected" which is what one of the yahoo articles and a newsclip I watched on it both said. I've been reading up on it alot lately and have to say I saw some footage of average looking guys that were on the stuff and it was taking several cops to hold them down. One guy was growling like an animal while the cops were standing all over him trying to keep him from going crazy. It is certainly something to think about. According to one article on the bath salts, the regulators cant agree on what to do with it since there are many varieties and all use different formulas so not as simple as just saying chemical x is banned. I think some areas have put temporary bans on bath salts but those temporary bans are about to expire.
The scary thing to me is if we have a bunch of drug addicts using legal drugs that make the paranoid and give them superhuman strength plus limits their registering of pain... that is not good. Combine that with an economy that continues to struggle and I am concerned that if something bad happens, we could have a huge segment of society that gives up so to speak and just takes the drugs to check out.
Now for the scary part... those junked up addicts will not really be zombies but just ordinary people that are all doped up on those synthetic drugs. I think most on this forum are already set on how they feel about defending their home, family, etc but just to play devils advocate... what if you live in a large city and lets just say 10,000 people end up getting addicted to the stuff in a short period of time. THink the local police force would be ready to deal with that?
