The drug is typically taken orally, through inhalation or by injection, the last two frequently pertaining to the worst outcomes for users.
Often touted as a cocaine substitute, the NIDA said bath salts act as a brain-stimulating drug. Similar to drugs of this nature, using bath salts reportedly triggers side effects like those experienced by methamphetamine users – most notably, intense cravings. Other adverse effects can include intense paranoia, extremely high temperatures and hallucinations.
Due to its chemical composition, bath salts have the ability to put people at high risk of abuse and addiction. However, because the drug is brewed illegally on the “streets,” the full extent of its composition is unknown, making addiction to bath salts even more dangerous.

Well..... not completely accurate. Here's how it breaks down for me personally:
When I was about 25, I started having this weird reaction to pot. When I'd partake, I'd instantly get real paranoid and sit at the end of the couch thinking everyone was talking about me and also experienced this weird vertigo-like sensation. Now, at one point in time I was a serious pot-smokin' mofo and was weaned on the best Indica and never had an issue whatsoever. But when this kind of behavior became the norm, I realized I wasn't going to pay to feel that way anymore and I quit. Haven't touched it since. That was 22 years ago.
Like any self-respecting, rocker child of the 70's, I started drinking at local parties when I was about 15. I never abused it and all I drank was the beer furnished at keggers. When I became of age, I stepped it up a notch and tried various drinks to fin what I liked and didn't like. Decided pretty quick that I didn't like the taste of most alcoholic beverages and pretty much stuck to beer and wine. That's the way it's been to this day never developing a [problem with alcohol.
So, with pot out of the picture and all the other drugs being either too expensive, too addictive or producing a high that's just too bizarre, I'm not left with much as a vise. Beer and cig's. God damn I'm a wild mofo!!!![]()

No shit! For all the bad publicity and negative news that comes out of Arizona - and let's face it, there are some radical politicians here - one of the good things to happen is the bill that passed allowing the carrying of concealed weapons. Now, Arizona has always been an "wild west" type of place to begin with. And one of the things I had to get used to when I moved here 25 years ago, was seeing handguns being carried by so many people. Everywhere you go (well, almost...) people are wearing holstered weapons like it's part of their wardrobe!

And when I say "so many", I mean in an average day going about your normal humdrum business (post office, grocery store, gas station, etc.) I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said I see at least a dozen people with guns. Then, the concealed weapons law passed and now you have to assume everyone's packing!
It's when you see some guy walking down the street, mumbling to himself and carrying say, a rifle that you take notice. Sidearms... not so much.
