Bath Salts Don't Take Lives: Cloud 9 Goes LethalCOVINGTON- Don’t trust the label- NoDef has delved deep into the mysterious danger that is Cloud 9 before, and here we are again. This time, however, is less fun and games, and more hard hitting facts about the effects of this bath salt/fertilizer/insect repellent/potpourri, aka Herbal Bliss, Ritual Spirit, Herbal X, GWM, Rave Energy, and/or Ultimate Xphoria.
Over eighty Louisiana residents have been hospitalized due to severe side effects caused by using these products, so reports the Louisiana Poison Center, but 21-year-old Dickie Sanders is the most tragic victim to date. Three days full of haunting hallucinations, paralyzing paranoia, and suicidal thoughts after snorting Cloud 9, Sanders shot himself to death, only to be found by parents Richard and Julie the next morning.
The Sheriff’s Office of St. Tammany Parish is currently looking into the possibility of labeling this tragedy a suicide, but nothing has been officially declared.
These drugs that are being sold in corner stores and gas stations are more potent than the prescribed Ritalin and illegal cocaine, and there have been additional instances of users becoming extremely violent, attacking family and friends, and turning on themselves.
Head of Louisiana Poison Center Mark Ryan states that these products have been outlawed in the UK since April…since when are we more lax than Europe? ’)

Everybody is just looking for
Everybody is just looking for a quick legal high is all they are doing. I suggest everyone stop being a little bitch about it and stand up for the rights of marijuana use! It's the best high ever and nobody is out killing anybody or shooting themselves. But bath salts I've tried once and had absolutely no effect what do ever. But it does t matter because the government will make it illegal and everybody will be moving on to the next "legal drug craze"

I have never used bath salts
I have never used bath salts or any drug tht is equivalent to them, however after so many days w/o sleep you will go into a schizophrenic state of mind. I w/d from methadone & insomnia is classic symptom of opiate w/d along w/ the inability to eat. After the 4th straight nights in a row w/ no sleep I was hallucinating, hearing things, extremely paranoid, & severely depressed w/ extreme irritability so decided it was time to call my pcp(primary care physician) & explained wht was going on & he advised tht your body does a incredible job of telling you wht it needs - sleep & nutrition are a MUST. Hallucinogen is ur body telling you it's had enough it needs some rest & nutrition! I'm not condoning the use of bath salts I'm just merely
trying to explain tht if you DO choose to use, still give your body the key essentials it desperately needs. Every addict/user hv one thing in common - we're running from something & trying to fill some sort of void. I strongly suggest to do some self reflecting & TRY to find the real source of your issues. Using or abusing is merely just a bandade - whn you do come done & the drugs are gone reality WILL be waiting for you & it will only make your situation worse. Do some true soul searching instead of dabbling in drugs/alcohol/whtevr ur poison is tht will rob you of your soul. And I also wld suggest Googling 'faces of meth' I hear they're similar. You dnt want to be that u all of America is viewing in tht condition - its. saddening & mks u wonder what went so wrong
I am so with you on this i
I am so with you on this i came online today in order to find a way to get the goverment to OPEN THE EYES. and to find a way to get these companys SHUT DOWN~ I and my company are also willing to go the mile to put an end to this maddness...
I find it amusing and quite
I find it amusing and quite interesting the amount of BULLSHIT and LIES that people are spewing in regards to "bath salts". Whether it's one of the teary-eyed cunt who "lost everything because of bath salts", inclusing her husband, job and everything else that was mentioned in the country song that was playing in the background when she was making up her phony story or the good old favorite jesus-freak who reminds everyone it is a sin to, well, ummm, do anything. Let's not forget the small dicked meat-head tuff guy who cant understand when people do something different that he has never seen, well that just burns him up. FACT: bath salts, nor any of the chemicals sold as bath salts or other like products have not killed 1 person. NOT ONE. now has some nutjob put a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger while he was high on bath salts? you betcha. but the bath salts didnt kill him. it was the buck shot going thru the back of his skull.
FACT: you have to be 18 to buy them. anyone who is telling a sob story about the children doing bath salts needs to read up before you start with your lame agenda.
FACT: Alcohol and cigarettes kill more people every year then all of the illegal drugs COMBINED have ever killed in HISTORY. digest that and wonder why you are all on an anti-bath salt crusade when the REAL killers are in every corner store and in our cabinets at home. These are killing our children. But as long as people believe lies and buy into bullshit scare tactics that are put into the media light by the Alcohol and Tobacco companies, we will continue to pay money for our lung cancer and heart disease, all in the name of personal freedom.....
i know of two very young
i know of two very young girls whose lives are pretty much ruined because they took bath salts. i know it was their chioce to do it. i know that. but one girl did some i dont know how much, and then she drank some alcohol and one of her friends found her passed out on the toilet with puke all in her hair and couldnt wake her up. And she didnt wake up because she was in a coma. She was in a coma for four months i think..or longer. i dont knoow her personally she is one of my friends sisters. And another girl did too much "bath salts" and starting halucinating..not because she hadn't slept in days but because they make you go nuts! And this girl jumped out of a moving vehicle! She was not crazy or anything before she did bath salts or whatever the hell you wanna call them. She did it because they made her go nuts. They did something to her mind to make her think it would be OK to JUMP OUT OF A MOVING VEHICLE. So dont assume these people have been up for days at a time..im sure some of them are im positive of it i know a couple people who dont sleep on those things and act and look like crazy fucks. But not everyone is a junkie and stays up for nights at a time. Some of these girls are teenagers doing teenage things like expierimenting with things like drugs or alcohol for the FIRST time. And this is what happens because some stupid asshole invented these things and called them bath salts to make them legal. And teenagers think "oh..bathsalts they cant be too bad..you put them in your bathtub so if they fuck you up when you snort them or excetra what can be so bad about that??" teenagers are young and dumb. i know from personal expierience because i've tried everythiing but i knew my limit and i knew what not to mess with because it could possibly mess you up for life! but if your friends are all sitting there doing bath salts and they ask you and you dont want to feel lame or uncool then 9 times out of 10 they will do it. So..YES it is their choice to do them but how are they suppose to knoww the consequenses if they werent taught about them??! i think everybody should know what could possibly happen if they do these then make the decision based on their own judgement. that is my opinion..what is yours??????
U are the most retarded
U are the most retarded person to ever walk the earth and if u really believe what u are saying.. Then u are an even bigger idiot. This shit ruined m marriage an d my ex is permanently brain damaged from using everyday for 6 months... He will forever have dilloisons and never be able to take care of himself so u can eat shit
I was a hardcore
I was a hardcore user...1000mg per day at minimum. There is no physical withdrawal beyond hunger and fatigue and the desire to do more-- a psychological symptom. I too became plagued with tactile, visual and auditory hallucinaitons. These are very real seeming and, like that guy above, I took hours and hours of video of drapes, walls, furniture, etc. and 1000's of pictures. Thank God for digital cameras. I believe the substance causes the mind to perceive changes in light, sound and movement in a much more promounced way. This can be terrifying if you're not expecting it. I was convinced that people with lasers were out to blind me. If you're doing bath salts you must constantly remind yourself that the various forms of hallucination are not real or reality and that you are experiencing drug-induced psychosis.
In the last 3 days I have
In the last 3 days I have entered a world I never wanted to know exhisted. My husband of 8 years has been doing these bath salts for the last 2 months. He is currently in the psych ward at the hospital. I am lost and alone, he is an alcoholic and when he started flipping out on me, I thought it was lack of sleep and drinking too much. We have 2 wonderful children together. I have seen more police officers, firefighters, and people I have no clue who they were in the past 3 days. Know one knows the long term effects that bath salts do, but apparantly the use is spreading like wildfire. I wish someone would tell me everything is going to be okay, I feel like I'm going to wake up and everything will be back to normal. Anyone reading this, please tell me if your child/spouse survived (from what I understand from the Dr. he could never become normal again, and psychotic episodes and suicidal thoughts can continue). My email is cybil29@msn.com feel free to tell me your story, thoughts, anything. I grew up in a drug/alcohol free house, finding out about this has hit me like Dorothy waking up in Oz. Thank you. -Julie
hi. a girl in a town next to
hi. a girl in a town next to mine did some bath salts and mixed them with alcohol. she was in a coma for a couple months. im pretty sure she woke up. i dont know if she is the same because i dont know her. and idk if it was her first time using them or not but i think she is ok now. mentally i mean. so just pray and keep your hopes up.
I wish I could help you. I've
I wish I could help you. I've seen the results of people taking this stuff and it is unreal to me. It has been banned in my city, but they keep coming out with similar stuff, they say not as good??? I knew nothing of this stuff until about six months ago from a friend's daughter and boyfriend. I have never seen anyone as paranoid as I've seen these two. Just know I am praying for you and your husband.
Hey Julie, I started shooting
Hey Julie,
I started shooting up cloud nine and also the pure form of MDPV in March 2011 after being sober for a year 1/2 from Meth and anything else drug related. I was bumping so much a day I can't even begin to measure the amount. I stopped cold turkey on May 10th and haven't touched anything since. For me, God spared (and I truely mean that, there is no other explanation for the amount I was doing daily) any hallucinations or psychotic episodes but my cousin and boyfriend weren't so lucky. My boyfriend,J., turned very paranoid and very abusive. My cousin also but he was seeing people coming out of bathtiles and other stuff too. J. continued to use them for a couple more months and then turned to meth. He has been sober now since Jan with one short onetime relapse a few weeks ago and I can tell you, for as bad as he got....I have MY J. back and going through what he did and seeing his actions once sober has made him never want to use or drink again. I can't say much about my cousin because he is still out there using but for J. and I, we are better than normal and stronger than ever. God can heal everything. I see no long term effects in either one of us. I hope that gives you a little peace of mind. Feel free to email me mizzbuffy27@ymail.com
I'm a little confused. i
I'm a little confused. i thought bath salts were exactly that...most women use this when they take bathes? is it dangerous? orlando meeting hotel Guy.
anyways..i hope everything works out for you.
Not-yet-illegal drugs are
Not-yet-illegal drugs are being sold as if they were bath salts. People are snorting them. Because these particular molecular combinations aren't illegal yet, they're a poular street drug.
I tried 8 ballz bath salts
I tried 8 ballz bath salts way before the ban. When they had the chemical compound MDPV in them. This stuff was hard core I was up for 36 hours straight without even feeeling tired. It was stronger then meth id say. Although I've never tried meth I don't see how much worse it gets than that. I went 12 straight hours without dosing and still ended up staying wide awake all night and day. Thank god this stuff is banned cuz a lot more people would have ended up dead. STAY AWAY FROM THIS STUFF PEOPLE RAIL COKE BEFORE YOU DO BATH SALTS ! Bad news...
I'm down with the fact that
I'm down with the fact that people shouldnt do this....Not proud of it but have done every drug known to man....well almost...any way ive tried these bath salts and ill have to say i enjoyed it at first...but after i found my self still awake after 4 days thats when i was like wooo, u need to stay away from this shit!!!i didnt get those thoughts of wanting to kill myself, have a problem w light or being outside, social,didnt hear voices.....BUT i did get some crazy visuals...they reminded me of the time i took 2-ci...shadows were alive or moving, inside lights whould go from bright to dark and back again, color of my wall paint would change colors from time to time...i got to the point that it didnt matter how much more i took i just passed out....body and mind exausted....when i woke up 24 hrs later i felt like fukn hell...hadnt eatn in 3 days...i then realized i wasnt drinking the amount of liquids i should have, felt dehydrated...after eating and getting properly hydrated i still felt like shit...just soooo tired, no motivation to do anything but i sucked it up and went to work and by the end of the day i felt normal again...wont be doin that anytime soon...lol
Oh and p.s i say if your gonna do drugs regardless of what people say then i suggest doing research on them first...also make sure that you are taking the drug u think u are...if it be bath salts make sure thats what it is..look up the brand to find out the actual chemical contained.....and if u really have to do them have a friend with you that doesnt do drugs as your "sitter" that way your friend can stop you from doing stupid shit...maybe like staying up for days at a time and over doin the drug....set a limit and have your friend enforce it...well shit for that matter get your friend and have him talk you out of even doing drugs in the first place....ahhh whatever my bad im done rambling now...good luck and PLUR
I was addicted to bath salts
I was addicted to bath salts for about 5 months. I lost a ton of weight, stayed up for 3-4 days at a time and going to work in that condition. I ended up losing my job due to the related behavoirs of my use, the same week they were banned. The ban is what saved my life and kept me from losing my family. I feel I escaped the devil and wish others the best if they are still binging on this drug or its new formulations. It has the ability to ruin lives in a very short period of time.
What a bunch of rationalizing
What a bunch of rationalizing fools.
Moderation my a**. You cannot moderate a extremely addicting soon-to-be street drug and you are kidding yourself if you think you can. Soon it will be moderating your a**.
Oh, and those drug users/addicts on here claiming others are "weak"/"weak-minded", etc... I find that such a damn joke. You are the ones who need a Pick me up and high quite often cause YOU my friend are so damn feeble-minded you cannot deal with the harsh realities and stressors of life. You need to constantly "feel good" cause you are so damn weak to take life like a man. So go back to your hole now and smoke more crack or whatever other nonsense you do to satisfy yourself.
I've been using this product
I've been using this product regularly for a month or so and want to express a balanced side to it all. Now I have not experienced any overwhelming hallucinations or had any violent tendencies towards myself or those around me. However, I agree that lack of sleep may factor into the larger effects that are causing people to have worse problems. Before I quit a couple days ago I had stayed up for three days straight, then slept six hours and stayed up another three days straight. I had to conciously stop and allow myself to rest.
My family noticed only because I had told my step sister and then a week later I was pulling these all nighters and not coming home. Every morning they go by my room and my bed is neatly made because I had not come home at all. I did start to hallucinate early on but it was very light effects; first thing was if I was listening to headphones or my laptop I would think I heard things moving in the house behind me or muffled voices, not super scary but the type of things that make you feel a little paranoid. There was one or two days where after lack of sleep I would think lights on the street at night were moving slowly or getting brighter.
Physically it was bad too but not in an immediate way. I was quickly losing weight due to not sleeping and not caring about eating while using. It makes you have to pee sometimes because it's an amphetamine, but your pee will smell a little worse - this is because it's breaking down your kidneys and if you're drinking too that makes it worse. Towards the end I was having crazy ideas, it made me so happy and pumped at first but by then I was planning where to rob or steal to get more. I realized it wasn't fun anymore and was killing us all. Specifically I was using TranQuility and am doing all I can to shut it down in this city.
Don't do something you will regret and give control of your life to a careless chemist. All those good traits you feel when using are still inside you when you quit; you can be active and excited and happy without any drugs. Peace and love to everyone - may MDVP and M1 leave our lives.
On the "Tranquility"
On the "Tranquility" train,... My husband, who is in his late 30's, an addict for many many years. Who has recovered from cocaine, loratab, oxicontin, methadone and most recently the BATH SALT craving. I am just so mad.. I can not help him in any way shape or form. We have recovered our marriage and family with children and grandchildren so many times it seems. But this time is very different! This stuff... Though he isoff of it, has come back with a vengance.. He usedthis crap for approximately 4-6 months. He lost 63 pounds. He looked like death warmed over. He wasnt the loving man I fell in love with or the father he was and could be. His life was consumed with sexual urges, no sleep, no interaction with our church, our family gatherings or even with his close family members. He withdrew himself and emerged into his own bath salt world. He was working but his mind wasnt there. I began to hear... "they talking about me", "they plottin to fire me".. he would lie to get out of work.. like he was affraid to go. So after a few months it continued.. I found the stash with a straw. Mad.. i questioned him and he abviously lied and said it was steroids because of all the weight he had lost. (since he was having teeth issues, his gum looked like something was eating it from the inside, thats what the Dr attri uted to his weight loss) 2 days later my grandson found a bath salt container.. he is 3.. omg I was outraged! The inquisition began.. Our son.. who was 23 at the time was blamed for the bath salt container. He and I had a heated argument to which he left my home vowing never to return! Then wednesday before Christmas as my family attended our churches Christmas get together, without my son or youngest daughter (who was 18 and said she was tired of all the arguing and left).. he also didnt go, said he needed time to figure out what was going on in his head! I came out of the church to find I had a text with the words.. "Im not at home, you were right about the bath salts" I had never even thought things could be where they are today with those words! His Mother.. who doesnt care for me or our children one bit.. but loves her baby boya came to help with an intervention to try to get him help somewhere inpatient.. to no avail.. the waiting list was 3 weeks long. Well he needed help right then! We went to talk to our Pastor who said 70% of 12 step programs fail because its good while youre there but then when out its back to reality of walking in the store and being able to ask for it! He said build barriers! I did that, after almost 4 weeks at home alone with e shut up in our home it seemed we were free.. now let me say this, his boss, who is a Christian man... Allowed him to take a layoff to get clean! He is a wonderful man! God bless him for that.. because we could of lost it all. So.. clean, he returns to work! After a few days Im hearing.. they out to fire me, they talking about me, they asking lots of questions.. construction isnt the place to be and be clean unless you havent ever had an addiction to drugs! So, he finds another job.. me thinking all of this is real.. im supporting his decision. He changes jobs.. happier than i have seen him in 10 yrs or so.. He gets a new phone to which 2 days later we hear.. someone has bugged my phone, tapped my phone, messed with my phone.. over and over for days. Then on friday he works 2 shifts, lightening strikes the building he is maintenance man at and he, im assuming is pushed over the edge. He comes home flipping about his phone.. then he says im tired.. ok i say me too lets get in bed its late.. but.. he doesnt sleep, he gets in a chair in our living room to where he sits in the dark.. i wake up at 5:15 in the morning to go to the bathroom and he is still sitting there. He says.. I saw you watching me! Ummm no I wasnt.. i tell him! But it escalated from this to the next day.. i had a plan I was plotting, kids were watching him "do his thing alone in our bedroom" someone bugged his phone, people were hiding across the street, he wouldnt talk he wrote on peices of paper then would burn them. People were coming to get him, after him. The mic on the laptop wws listening and he knew his phone was connected to the printer because there is words the same on the computer his phone and the printer.. it was our ip address the printer is wireless! So Im freaking out my kids are terrified.. Im reading and watching the news where wives, girlfriends are being killed kids harmed by people using bath salts.. so i made him leave.. my families safety was more important. His Mama takes him to be evaluated.. after i took out involuntary commitment papers to have him committed for help. They help him avoid this until the papers expire. So she has him drug tested to which nothing shows up.. of course there isnt a test that shows it in your system! She calls us liars, we made all this up and he throws his problem, bugged phone away. Now.. I say all this to tell you people this. This stuff is from the pitts of hell itself! It has destroyed my husband, my marriage, my family and most importantly his testimony for our Lord Jesus Christ. His only hope of ever having his mind right again is to pray God sees fit to allow clarity because.. right now he is affraid to have contact with our kids, me or anyone. I have talked to him three times in a week. Short conversations.. to the point and gone again. Of course his Mama has forbid him to talk to his own family.. I feel like he needs counseling and the dr that evaluated him said he needed psychotic evaluating and medication. He is taking something that starts with a "P". A mild psychosis drug. He says he has thought clearly for the past couple days.. so if it helps, with counseling... Maybe there is a glimmer off hope for our family. But.. the lasting affect is still there. Dont ruin your life and everyone around you.. stay away from any drug.. parents TALK TO YOUR KIDS.. FAMILY BE AWARE! NOT NIEVE! The bible plainly says.. Be sure your sin will find you out. There is pleasure in sin for a season but that season runs out. If you are saved and go on and on with drugs.. God will turn you over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are unseemly. He will turn you over to the devil for the destruction of the flesh! Just ask my husband! There isnt any good going to come from putting yourself through that, and everyone around you that loves you. Those of you that are saved.. please pray for us as our journey either ends or has a new beginning! God bless!

I am 19, yes young, but I
I am 19, yes young, but I have definitely done my share of drugs, and this artificial cocaine is like nothing I've ever tried before. To start you off I'd like to start with mentioning the fact that when I was growing up it was rough, not only because I am the only boy out of 5 children in my family, but also because I am the son of an abusive alcoholic. I took my first drink of alcohol at the age of 13. I was always very active in the athletic programs throughout school up until my senior year. I always have been the kind of guy that would try just about anything at least once, especially drugs. For some reason I've always had this mindset that I wouldn't let anything control any aspect of my life, therefore that mindset has had its pros, as well as some cons. Before I go any further, I would like to say to anyone who has never done anything illegal (specifically referring to drugs), if you are thinking about experimenting around with different things here are some important tips that I wish I would've been told when I first started.
1. If you haven't started, don't! I would suggest finding a cheaper, more constructional hobby, such as weightlifting, kayaking, snowboarding.....
2. You have to have the correct mindset about what you are doing
3. Knowledge is extremely important. You always need to look up whatever it is that you are about to take and do some sort of research on the side effects, dosage, also it is very important to know your body. I have always been an avid weightlifter which over time has made me more alert or, in-tune with my body. It is crucial that you have knowledge of your health, like previous heart records, allergies to medications .....
4. It is essential that you to be smart with anything you do. You have to man up and be prepared to accept responsibility for your not so "responsible" decisions. You have to be mature, this is big time stuff, you never know the first wrong decision could be the last decision you make.
5. This is a big one! If it makes you steal it is powerful enough to make you kill. This one must always be taken into consideration when people you love are involved. That's when you fuck up and start losing people that matter. Also this is commonly how the majority of homeless become homeless.
6. Last but not least, don't be dumb, if you don't remember anything else that you've read, please remember this proven fact:
You get ONLY ONE chance at this thing that ppl call life, don't fuck around and blow it all to feel good for one night just to wake up in jail or possibly never wake up on the green side of the ground. There is a fine line between going big or going home and good old fashioned ignorance. Once you have discovered that line, don't cross it. Period.
Finally, I have made it to the bath salts or hookah cleaner. When it comes down to drugs, if it can be smoked, snorted, or consumed, it's safe to say I've tried it atleast once. I've done a lot of coke, hell, I've even tried crack as well as meth. Having said that, this Bath Salt shit is by far the scariest, I only say that because it's the only thing I have EVER done and not been able to stop until it was gone. Also, there haven't been extensive long-term research on any of this artificial nonsense, so who knows whether it's harmful to you, or whether it has no effect on your body.
SUMMARY: DON'T BE A COMPLETE DUMBASS OR YOU WILL, AT BEST, END UP IN JAIL. DRUGS ARE SERIOUS AND SHOULD ALWAYS BE TREATED WITH CAUTION. LASTLY, DON'T RUSH ANYTHING, THEYRE DRUGS, THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR AGES, AND JUDGING BY THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING THEM, IT'S LOOKING LIKE THEIR AROUND AS LONG AS MANKIND INHABITS THIS WORLD.
LIFE IS INDEED SHORT, WHY MESS AROUND AND SHORTEN. LIFE IS A GIFT, THAT'S WHY ITS CALLED THE PRESENT. AND ONE LAST THING, NEVER LET SOMEONE TALK YOU INTO DOING ANYTHING THAT YOUR NOT 100% SURE YOU WANNNA DO IT. BE ORIGINAL, MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS.
Hopefully this might be helpful to someone out there

Well written my friend. My
Well written my friend. My husband is addicted to glass cleaner, it has ruined him. and its ruining us, at 32...I wish he had your wisdom. You will have a good life because you know your limits. He onto the other hand is about to be put out by the last person on. earth that will tolerate him because as he says "i will always do too much". It's so sad to watch helplessly as the person you love deteriorates! Stay safe everyone!
Ok folks. Just reading some
Ok folks. Just reading some of these comments, and I'm taken aback by the sheer absurdity of some of them. It seems several of the commenters have been overdoing this stuff and some may have depleted their brain so badly that it's going to take weeks, even month, to feel normal again.
However, you will feel normal again. Your brain will heal itself. MDPV has not been shown to cause permanent toxicity to any area of the brain.
That being said, I have to agree it's an aweful drug.
Now, for the hallucinations. MDPV is causing a chemical change in your brain that is causing you to see these things. They aren't real. They just don't exist.
At the time it may seem like reality, but it's NOT. There are no demons waiitng to take you to hell. That is a concoction of your brain. Just chemicals reacting in your brain that are triggering certain responses and causing you to feel this way.
If you have overused bath salts and are experiencing these symptoms, here's what you need to do:
1. Terminate your use of the substance IMMEDIATELY. If you can't quit on your own, get someone to help you. Call the police on yourself if you have to and insist that you get psychiatric care and an opportunity to get yourself into a rehab or other substance abuse program.
2. Start taking a good multi-vitamin, and L-Tyrosine (can be found at any good health store) to help your brain synthesize dopamine and replenish what it's lost. If you are experiencing Parkinson like symptoms, it's because your brain has been depleted of dopamine. This is most likely temporary.
3. Start eating correctly (3 square meals a day and drink lots of orange juice and cranberry juice). Exercise regularly (at least 30 minutes a day). Eat a lot of fish and vegetables.
4. Drink Green Tea 2-3 times per day.
5. Force yourself to attend social events (you won't want to but you'll feel better if you do), support groups, family gatherings, NA, etc, and talk to others who have had the same experience.
6. Go to church or your respective house of worship and ask God to help you to become yourself again. You'd be surprised at the power of prayer.
You have not lost yourself. You will be the person you once were. However, you have introduced a poison into your brain and you must give it time to recover. This may take weeks or even several months.
You can do this.
Baloney. Any and every drug

Any and every drug out there can cause brain damage and it does; mostly insignificant but this drug it appears to be noteworthy. Some people who have come off are diagnosed with schizophrenia! HELLO!

thats some good pointers to
thats some good pointers to try but you must do wrong in life to have bad spirits tagging along or someone brought them to your home. lie,cheat and keeping secrets for the people u love is spirits that will mess with u. pray for help from a decesed friend or fam to come protect you from your karma. honesty is the way to have good spirits fallow and seeing things that aint there is the best part cause its possible that its real and only can be seen when the pupils adjust big and ive tried all those and i felt lame as hell real talk
U sound lame as he'll real
U sound lame as he'll real talk u fake nigga fuc outta here go kill yourself
Please warn everyone you can
Please warn everyone you can in your communities. Don't try this even once. Anyone saying "use moderately" is kidding themselves. You can't control the neurological changes and it will get progressively worse. All I can do is pray I come back, and hold on to the good inside me, have faith that my loved ones will be there, because right now I'm on my last night able to afford a hotel room. I've lost everything and everyone I love, and I am a good person, fortunate to have so many people that love and care about me; but right now they're all afraid. They're scared and have no idea what to do, and they can't handle this.
I'm in the process of seeking out the best university researchers at this point, hoping I can help the medical community gain a better understanding of this death of a substance. Then I will make it my mission to make sure my nephew never walks into a smoke shop and purchases this stuff. My only wish in this life is that he, or any other child or human soul, will never have to experience this nightmare that my mind has created.
Please, this is the biggest threat your community has ever seen. Warn everyone you know, if you notice a rapid change in a loved ones personality intervene. Stop them, they can't do it themselves. Don't abandon them, have faith in the good that's still there and help them.
I love my family dearly. I'm so so unbelievably sorry. I had no idea. Please don't abandon me, I'm still in here, I'm going to fight. Please don't leave me alone. I love you. Have faith in me, otherwise I am already dead.
U sound like u need a hug
U sound like u need a hug around your neck wit a rope off a tree go head kill yourself.
My fiancé and I started
My fiancé and I started taking bath salt about 3 months ago. Mostly tranquility and ivory wave then all the other ones out there. Everything was going great in life... Got engaged on Christmas eve, both had good jobs, moved into a great place. And then when we started to do it everyday we slowly started to see weird things happening. Like the curtains moving, lights almost like someone was shining a flashlight, fluorescent green lights coming from the bottom of the floor where the walls are. Then about 2 weeks ago it progressed to feeling like we were getting zapped or burned and had marks from it, metal objects moving slowly or falling and lights getting very bright, hearing voices coming from the air vents, seeing shadows of people, bed moving, items on bed being pulled to one side and falling off, tvs getting pulled ( I tryed to stop it and it fell on my leg but it felt like it was being pulled to the floor) and then a girls voice telling me why she was doing it but I couldn't really hear her since she was on the bottom floor. She said I did something to her. Anyways my fiancé was backer acted, cancelled the engagement party, got kicked out of the condo, he's going to ny until he's ok and I'm at my mothers. Lost everything. But what worries me is that it all only happened in the condo. I looked up all the things that were happening and came up with this super magnet it starts with a n. what if thats really what it is?? Bottom line never do bath salt.
hi... same thing happened w
hi... same thing happened w me ... what state was condo?
The first thing you have to
The first thing you have to do is look at your self as an outside person from the perspective of another person. Once you cando this you can see you for you and all your flaws that you serpress and have been ignoreing. Start to look for your inner strengths and positive points that seperate negative emotion from overall well being and hold on to that. The mind is a powerful muscle learn how to use it and you will find inner peace and asureing confidence that amaze and surprize yourself with what can be acomplished when you beleave in your own spirit, mind, and body. Anything you put you mind to can be achived once you realize that the power that you need only lyes within your self and once you find it nothing will stand in your way.
i hate it when people mess it
i hate it when people mess it up for the rest of us. i just found out about 3 months ago about salt and recently found out that it came from smoke shops. but,they stop selling it when i found out. i think its a better quality than the real stuff. the come down is not bad either and was so cheap, how could these youngsters and the others that dont know better ruin the one an only chance to have the privledge to get high legally. now im back on pills which is more damaging than salt also cost big $. i abuse like no other and not proud of it i cant stop either. but salt is not any worst than the other habits we use to subsitute on coming down from the other drug. but i think of ways to stop and u can stop if u exercise, walking, jobs, school and someone to talk to when u think u might use. u will never stop but its ok to treat yourself once in a great while. ive done it recently,so im using again cause i tell myself i can stop if things get old again. try the impossible by quiting, suffer and be miserable its a challenge to turn down highs that seems to fall in your lap only when u are battling yourself from using. i lasted a month and i felt that normal thing that other people feel so try it to see normal and it will feel good that u done what most cant. salt is a great high sleep is the important thing that will level u out so u dont feel like a space cudet. dont mind the mispelled words you know the point im getting across to you. take a timeout from abusing its ok to pump the brake the gas pedal will always be there much love to the best of us
hey fuckers first you cant od
hey fuckers first you cant od I been doin 8 n others 9 tubes a day but now i relized im alone n my kids n girl r gone plz fuck all drugs remeber one try and god bless ur family n hope they can save u
i currently live next door to
i currently live next door to a woman addicted to "bath salts" and it is constant freaking out about the demonic possessions, the hex the neighbors put on her, the poltergeists that are out to get her and whats worse, her bf does it too, however he doesnt seem to be suffering the extreme paranoia and psychosis. we have to call the police at least once a day becuz her kids are there. they dont go to school anymore and thier mother is "literally" locked in the basement smoking snorting shooting or whtever else these "bathsalts". the local mental health center is currently working on the sheriff coming to take her away for a little 3 day evaluation...but in the meantime every time the police show up, she hides in the basement and the kids are told to ignore the door. i feel bad for them, but the crazy part is shes the one screaming for someone to call the police. i live on the other side of drywall and we can hear it all. i cant imagine what it must be like for these children of bathsalt addicts. i am a 40 yr old woman and its quite upsetting to me. especially how hard it is to get her some help.
