Bath Salt Articles

These are some articles I found concerning the drug that I believe my husband has been dealing with. After reading these articles I am very fearful for his safety as well as the safety of us being around him. He has never exhibited any of these  psychotic episodes that I know of but just to know what it has done to others is enough to terrify anyone.  At least they are working on making this stuff illegal and thus harder to get. I believe the attraction to it is that they cannot get busted because it doesn't show up on typical drug tests and they think that that makes it okay. Please be aware of this new drug especially if you have teens. It seems as though they are the ones at greatest risk. It seems as though the risk for suicide and hallucinations is high and that often they do things under the influence of this drug that harm themselves or others.
