At least one young man in St. Tammany Parish and another in St. Martin Parish committed suicide shortly after getting high from ingesting a synthetic chemical sold as Cloud Nine High Quality Bath Salt and White Dove, law enforcement officials warned Monday.
A pack of the product costs no more than $20, and some people inject or snort it to experience a euphoria similar to the one associated with the amphetamine known on the streets as "speed." However, the psychotic side effects it produces are unusually severe, St. Tammany District Attorney Walter Reed and Sheriff Jack Strain said during a news conference called Monday to alert the community about the substance.
"Our purpose today is to warn parents," Reed said. "If you see this in your kids' room, please take it and call us. This stuff has the potential to get your kids to commit suicide."
Reed said white, wallet-sized "Cloud Nine" packets and black "White Dove" packets marketed as fragrant potpourri began surfacing on regional convenience store shelves not long after Aug. 15, the day a state law making it illegal to possess, sell or manufacture synthetic marijuana went into effect. Experts say the side effects of the chemical can last for days and resemble those of amphetamines -- anxiety, prolonged panic attacks and insomnia.
The bath salt packets drew special attention earlier this year from parish law enforcement after the son of a local physician snorted some, hallucinated that Army soldiers were marching on his home, and fatally shot himself with a rifle, Reed said.
After the suicide in St. Martin Parish, authorities there issued a public notice in November warning, "There have been reports of individuals overdosing on the product, and human consumption may be fatal."
Strain and Reed on Monday said investigators canvassed area convenience stores recently and asked

There is also a warning about people snorting 2X4’s along with 16d nails.
What next.
Snorting gasoline does the same thing.
Better to stick with licking toads for that kicken-good hallucination high.

I get a similar sense of euphoria from Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies.
You outta see the Big Ass Grin on my face right now!
I’m staring at the Biggest Box of Epson Salts that you’d ever need!
I’ll let ya know .. 8)
I thought the same thing when I read it. There must have been someone else present when he was hallucinating. Another salt head perhaps?
>>I get a similar sense of euphoria from Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies.<<
My dad would buy a pack of those, give one to each of the three of us, then consume the rest.
To this day, Oatmeal Cream Pies mean love to me.
Calgon, take me away......
They had that stuff tested here in St. Louis and it had some bad stuff in it. There have been some hospitalizations over it and 1 death up near Kansas City.
I had a strange experience once after driving at night for 8 hours straight at 110 mph while drinking lots of coffee. I was in the desert, but I could have sworn that I was driving through deep woods. The sun came up shortly thereafter, and then things returned to normal.
Please note that I wouldn't recommend doing this sort of thing. It's hazardous in more ways than one! And, no, I did not receive any traffic citations.
Not quite the same as snorting, but I got several lungs full of gasoline vapor whilst siphoning gas back in my youth.
Stunted my growth, it did. I probably would have been six foot five instead of only six feet tall. I've only made it to 84 years old. Would probably have been 110 by now if I hadn't inhaled leaded gasoline.
Herbal Ecstasy is another form of MDMA that is composed of ephedrine (ma huang) or pseudoephedrine and caffeine from the kola nut.
So it’s your basic sinus decongestant and coffee.
The smell made you do it!
I used to love the smell of leaded gasoline. I'd still have a full head of hair if I hadn't inhaled.
I did a Bing search of “Cloud 9 bath salt” and came up with this....

Even this forum says that it brings depression when it wears off.
My sleep-deprivation induced hallucinations usually involve wild animals...typically bears and wild boars. At about the 36 hour mark, those suckers start jumping out at me from nowhere!

I live close enough to a Little Debbie cookie factory I can go to their outlet store and buy all the Little Debbie cakes I want for $1.00 a box!
Come to think of it, I got half a box of Oatmeal Cream pies I bought last week! Think I’ll go eat one now!
JEALOUS!
Smokin’ banana peels, nothin’ is real
Mites are living in your eyelashes
People are makin’ important deals
They’re my fingernails and I’m keeping em
Smokin’ banana peels, savin’ the seals
(???)
Up and down between your heels
Dip your breasts in shimmering lip balm
Talk to me about Elvis
Take Elvis for walk and shut-up
