Bath Salts???...Really?

Law enforcement, health officials concerned by "bath salts."
The Los Angeles Times (1/28, Sewell) reports that "'bath salts,' are powerful synthetic stimulants, designed to be comparable to cocaine or methamphetamine, and with similar risks, law enforcement and health officials say." However, unlike "cocaine or meth, the stimulants are legal in most of the US, at least for now, selling for about $25 to $40 a packet online and in convenience stores and head shops." Poison control centers across the US "fielded 235 calls relating to the 'bath salts' last year, and already have seen 214 cases this year, according to the American Assn. of Poison Control Centers."
