Several news agencies are reporting the increased scrutiny designer bath salts drugs are receiving from law enforcement agencies. The drug which produces effects similar to that of PCP cocaine or LSD have been reported in several violent actions including an attack on an Austin Texas emergency medical services worker. Some of the effects the designer drug produces are: violent outbursts chest pains hallucinations and paranoia.
Commentary
First lets dispel the notion that these bath salts drugs are in any relation to what is used in bathing. The drugs are actually synthetic typically made by companies overseas who are one step of ahead of legislation trying to ban the substances. Typically legislation is written based on substance composition so many times a synthetic drug becomes legal with a simple swap of a few ingredients.
From a product liability standpoint Im interested in the marketing of the substances. Some of companies are quick to point out their packaging makes mention of only novelty uses of the substances but when they are only sold at pipe shops theres a conflict of interest somewhere.
