Bans "Bath Salts' Drugs After Violent Outburts
'Bath
salts' latest drug to raise alarms
In Tupelo Mississippi a teen has lost his life due to a new
drug addiction. Not a street or club drug we all know about,
but a household item, Ivory Wave bath salt. This new addiction
has spread fairly fast in the surrounding communities in Mississippi.
As local newspapers report: “Misuse of the bath salt has
the same effects as meth, and is actually banned in Scotland
following related deaths. Now, Lee County authorities have learned
of local usage through domestic disturbances.”
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.
A relative of an Ivory Wave bath salt addict who wants to remain
anonymous describes watching her loved one going through mayhem.
"Within thirty minutes after he got home he was what they
call 'geeking out.' He was walking around the yard with a flashlight
and looking under bushes. He got all the paperwork out of his
truck. You could say something and he thought you were talking
about him." 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 local stores have pulled the product out of their shelves
after finding out about the local 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.

substance or any other drug, please seek help before it’s
