I man, c'mon, who hasn't, after a few too many shots of teqila, done such a thing?

It's not really a party until someone gets bit on the head....

Remind me to never get a drink with you

It's not really a party until someone gets bit on the head.... I bet the answer to this may be different between the sexes

Just carry a slab of meat in the ambulance for such circumstances. It's hard to give a good answer as every street pharmacist has their own recipe but here is a general overview:

As Doc said. there are too many variations of chemicals involved to have a clear cut answer. The cookers are dodging the FDA rules by altering the substances used to make them . As soon as they ban one chemical they change it one molecule to make a new compound..

some of the S+S are hyperthermia, delusional, hyper aggressiveness, and lack of pain receptors functioning.

Others describe an LSD type of hallucinations and delusions.

Do not try to control them without law enforcement on scene. Even Tasers do not have much of an effect on them.

I have a probably dumb question. Is the name because they are actually salt you put in your bath, or is it just a street name they came up with.

The sad thing is that young people just come up with new ways to get high. It was not that long ago it was extracting the alcohol from hand sanitizer

It is just a name the street crud put on them to subvert the laws on selling drugs. Also known as incense and plant food or Monkeydust.

The packets were stamped not for human consumption. They were initially available over the counter in head shops and some convenience stores.

Maine has passed laws banning sales and possession of them. You can still get them off the web unfortunately.

Several other states have enacted laws banning them also.
