Though other designer drugs, such as a marijuanalike substance known as spice, have found their way into smoke shops, perhaps no synthetic substance has alarmed poison centers and emergency-room physicians over the past year as much as "bath salts."
Users smoke, ingest or inject the drug to create a high that has been compared to cocaine or methamphetamine. Law enforcement and doctors say the drug can also cause hallucinations similar to drugs such as LSD and PCP, even triggering acts of violence.
The Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center Poison and Drug Information Center has reported 173 cases of people who used or were exposed to the drug in metro Phoenix so far this year, compared with just one case a year ago. Despite the federal ban announced this month, the Banner poison center has fielded 23 reports of such use this month.
Doctors and poison-control officials say those reported cases likely represent a fraction of how often the drug is used. Though there are no firm nationwide statistics on "bath salt" use, there have been a handful of reported deaths tied to the drug.
Arizona hospitals and the Banner poison center said there are no known deaths from "bath salt" use in Arizona, but several patients required lifesaving procedures for kidney failure and trouble at Valley hospitals, doctors say.
"We've never seen an influx to the emergency room like we have with 'bath salts,' " Caplan said. "We have seen the bad effects, the adverse effects."
Dr. Frank LoVecchio, an emergency-room physician and co-medical director of the Banner poison center, said he had to put five patients under general anesthesia and on breathing machines on a recent weekend. Each time he would ease the sedation, the "bath salt" users would wake up agitated and aggressive, prompting more sedation.
People can suffer immediate health risks such as kidney damage, breathing trouble, seizures, rapid heart rate and extreme body temperature.

And it is still currently legal to do in North Carolina according to my neighbor who happens to be a police officer. He just attended a funeral in Delaware where an officer was stabbed by a guy high on bath salts....:(

I'd never heard of it until I read that article. Then again I steer clear of the drug culture so there's probably lots of other shit out there that I've never heard of.
