Today's Poll: Do you think the raid on the 420 Emporium will end bath salt sales in Batavia?

By Howard B. Owens

I'd say that the supply of bath salts all over the country has been hit hard. On to the next thing that people will do to get high! Hyperventilating for 15 seconds and then holding my breath while bearing down hard does it for me. It can have unwanted consequences, though. It's best to be done while sitting on the toilet and also, place pillows on the floor in front of the toilet. Oh the terrors of altering one's consciousness :-p

Like other serious drugs: meth, cocaine, heroine, etc.- where one place gets "hit hard" another place sees the opportunity. It's a fire that will not go out. Supply & demand. Maybe not at a store like 420 Emporium, but someone sees $$$ and will find a way to sell.

I may have been, Doug, my memories are a bit foggy, but if you do have Van Halen play at your birthday party, be sure to invite me. It has to be over by 10 'cause that's my bedtime nowadays LOL

This whole bath salt thing though has brought to mind an episode from college which has stuck with me vividly for 33 years. My dorm mates and I used to cut through 2 or 3 other dorms in the winter on our way downtown to the bars. One half of the dorms at Morrisville had the laundry rooms on the ground floor; as we are passing by one of them we can hear a very loud commotion, so we go in to find out what's going on. Here is this skinny kid, about 5'7" and 120 lbs; going berserk and literally picking up washing machines and tipping them over, yanking out the water connection on one and screaming at the top of his lungs. This girl runs in and says she called security (Barney Fife and Goober), that this dude is high on PCP and he's going to hurt himself. There were 4 of us, all 6 foot or close and 190-200 lbs, we all literally had to sit on him to hold him still, his strength was incredible. Security came and cuffed him, he was still flopping like a fish and yelling until the ambulance came and they strapped him to the gurney. I don't know what happened to him, but I'll never forget that. PCP, for those who don't know was an animal tranquilizer that was a popular "designer drug" in the late 70's. Crazy stuff.

There was a time called the psychedelic '60's Doug. I was in elementary school for most of the 60's though and we heard stories about guys trying to fly after taking lsd, but that's about it for me.
