Why Was the Evidence to Outlaw Bathsalts a Bunch of False Evidence?

Question by Industrialized Nation: Why was the evidence to outlaw bathsalts a bunch of false evidence?
First off, I never did bathsalts. Never will. Don’t know why people would want to put something like the crap in their body.

Fact is though. The Miami zombie had nothing but marijuana in his system. The media circus said he was high on salts on day one, though it took a month to test accurately.

The government quickly moved to outlaw the substance because of zombie attacks, though both famous zombie attacks ended up with no bathsalts in the equation. The second attack the “zombie” was drunk on a lot of potent alcoholic drinks, Xanax, marijuana and “Cloud 9,” a so -called marijuana substitute.

I’m not sure the exact quotation, but a doctor said evidence pointed that these attacks were due to insanity. People just can’t accept the fact that there are mentally ill people in the world that do sick things. They want something to point their finger at… Reasoning.

In many cases doctors assumed the patient was high on bathsalts, and since a hospital doesn’t have tests to detect them, they had to send a sample to a lab which usually takes more than 30 days to identify a bathsalts presence. In most cases they never tested for the substance. Just treated the users as they were on salts and let them go.

I can care less if the substance is legal or not. Its just an interesting case that shows the power of media and government, and what they’ll do and say to get what they want. They intentionally released information they didn’t even know, and that information was later found to be false.

Bathsalts have been on the market for around 3 years in America, and until this incident they were unheard of.

You seem to have zero knowledge on the subject. First of all, bathsalts have been a huge problem in the town I’m in now for a couple years and we’ve had many public meetings about it involving police, fire fighters, hospitals, medical personell and psychologists. My cousin works at a hospital and sees a couple cases of these people come in every night. It takes all of the security of the hospital just to hold these people down. The doctors will no longer treat them, even if bleeding, until they’ve lost enough blood to be docile enough to strap them down safely. This is in a town of 40,000 so don’t say it’s unheard of. You might be lucky enough to have just heard of it, but the world doesn’t revolve around you.
