Hoping to fend off a rash of overdoses in Florida during the upcoming spring break, Attorney General Pam Bondi has outlawed a synthetic drug cocktail masquerading as "bath salts" that apparently gives users super-human strength and has similar effects to LSD, heroin and cocaine.

Bondi issued an emergency order Wednesday banning the drug -- Methylenedioxypyrovalerone or MDPV -- after Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen brought the dangerous concoction to her attention Friday.

"I frankly had a nightmare last night that someone was going to overdose on this and we hadn't done anything," she said.

OK, I remember back in the day there were kids who were getting high on Glue and huffing was the rage a few years back. When did we become a nanny state?? Oh yeah it's only OK if you are a Republican.

1. "similar effects to LSD, heroin and cocaine."

Huh? All three wrapped into one? Hard to imagine that rush.

Damn! That must be some wicked stuff. :rofl:

2. And "super-human strength"!

Where can I get some of this shit?

3. I read about this stuff yesterday. It's pretty much agreed that it's a crap drug

Lots of experienced drug users said, "Don't take it". That's good enough for me.

5. Maybe I'm just obtuse, but are they actually bath salts?

Is the drug thing a misuse of a genuine product, or is it something that was never intended to be used in the bath in the first place? :shrug:

7. No, I think they are just deceptively labeled

They aren't really bath salts, they're just labeled that way to (I guess) avoid regulation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDVP

8. here's an example of the product

I read a story about this yesterday, and they mentioned this brand of bath salts specifically: http://www.premiumblendherbal.com/products/BOLIVIAN-BATH.html

6. " similar effects to LSD, heroin and cocaine." Now I haven't done any of those, but

what?

10. Crap drug - well documented

Even multiple drug abusers don't like it, especially on repeated use

but that package at premiumblenherbal is friggin' hilarious.
