The alarming new drug bath salts is not the same as the bath salts which many people use for softer skin when they bathe. This new substance, which also has other innocuous names such as Monkey Dust, White Ivory or Kryptonite, is a synthetic drug that has seen an increase in use in Bangor and northern Maine since late last year.

I want my Ma Huang back! It worked and I’m still angry I can’t have it anymore.
What's the expected incidence of cases of drug OD, from recent experience?

Isn’t it funny how Obesity is such a horrible disease yet everything that works to overcome it is taken off the market?
You’re not a “kid” at 22.
I agree there’s a problem, but is it the bath salts or the people? If you get rid of the bath salts and they just start in on something else, you didn’t really solve the problem. They’ll still show up in the ER, they’ll just show up OD’d on something else.
I agree, they’ll get high on something else. Hopefully it will be something that doesn’t provide such an extreme hallucinogenic effect that they lie in the road get run over and die.
“regulate and hope” has a familiar and disquieting ring to it, of late.
Plenty of cocaine in NY.
I’m not going to put salts in my bath, soap is much better.
