Is it too soon to joke about bath salts?

[Glitter Tits]

I posted this picture on my FB wall and my cousin's husband commented and asked if it was the new logo for bath salts. I said, "Yeah, Morton has really taken a hit with all of these gourmet sea salts coming out, so they decided to broaden their product base. Kosher not yet available." And then he deleted his comment.

I thought that he was joking. I guess not. I wonder if my bath salt humor will be the beginning of a rift in the family.

(Modified for English fail.)

It's never too soon to joke about bath salts. Except I have yet to figure out what they are.

[Deleted]

Lol, all I know is they used to and might still be legal in some places.

[meatywienert]

Am I the only one who really doesn't know what the hell they are? I know it's some sort of drug, but I have no idea how you do it or what it is. I am clueless.

[Glitter Tits]

I only know what I've Googled and I had never heard of them until the Miami incident. The only thing I know is that it's kind of like meth, in that people just mix up a bunch of legal chemicals in their homes. Or I don't even know if that is true b/c you can buy them in convenience stores marketed as weird stuff like potpourri.

I thought people were actually sniffing bath salts

There was a Dateline or one of those types of shows on bath salts about a year ago.

Crystal, it's a rift not riff, do I need to teach you English as well as Yiddush?

Well, fuck. Apparently you do. I always thought that it was riff. Do you pronounce the t when you say it?

[meatywienert]

Living here you would have thought I would have heard about it if it's meth. There's meth labs all over the damn place.

God crystal you're so offensive!

[Glitter Tits]

I know. And I don't even know proper English! Balls!

[EloiseWeenie]

Yeah, I fail at drug knowledge.

Yes, you pronounce the t. A riff is a stretch of notes on a guitar.

I don't like the way the f and t sound come out together. I guess I'll remove that word from my vocabulary.

At least you used a real word, instead of making one up.

The craziest episode of Intervention last season was bath salts! It causes psychosis and hallucinations and all sorts of other crazy shit.

You can watch it. It's the Skylar and Jessa episode: www.aetv.com/intervention/episode-guide/season-11/

[camelblossom]

Dammit, that episode isn't on Netflix. But I did find one about a hooker who does PCP. So tonight is not a total loss.

[joolz]

That is probably a good one. I thought you could watch from the website though! (I am in Canada, no duh, but pretty much all sites are blocked in terms of watching things online. I just assumed you could.)

[camelblossom]

They have the first 2 minutes. Just from that I'd say those bath salts are the scariest shit I've ever seen! That kid thought he was a spy or a detective or something? Climing around on roofs with aluminum foil. My god.

[joolz]

I have seen a lot of shit on that show, but that was easily the freakiest (aerosol huffer and the stripper on meth who lived in LA are the other two). That is NOT to be confused with the saddest and most depressing. That is another list.

[housegeek]

It's never actually been a drug. It's a decor/ aromatherapy thing. Used to come in a clear bag or tub, colored salts, usually smell god awful for old and trampy people like them. And bed and breakfasts. Not epson salts though.
It's only a drug because fucking kids/ people are eating/ snorting them. It's like... Beyond cough syrup.

[housegeek]

Haha ok, funny story, I'm wrong www.homehealthtesting.com/blog/2011/05/what-are-bath-salts/
Looks like its just a name for a wack ass drug.
BUT, actual potpourri bathsalts were banned from my tiny hometown because kids were eating them. Go me.

Did you ever see the one (I think from the first season) with the guy who was the former professional cyclist who smoked crack? I used to see him outside of the Target by me panhandling alllll the time. After the show, too. I think he's clean again though.

Yeah, I think they're just marketed to look like bath salts and sold in smoke shops and the like.

Which is kind of scary to think of some zombie grandmother running around eating people because she was just trying to have a relaxing bath.

This made me lol. I guess you're more confused than the rest of us regarding what bath salts are. Those bed & breakfasts, leading to the downfall of American society with their aromatherapy and grandma decor.

Yes - and they did one of the follow up shows on him and he got back into cycling on a team that sponsored all recovering addicts and then he relapsed. SAD. Although I think he was in rehab again at the end of follow up.

I saw the cyclist one. This show is so sad. I always feel horrible for those poor families.
