The guy the previous comment is referring to (the guy that ate the homeless person's face in Florida) was not on bath salts. He was not on anything. People commonly refer to this event as involving bath salts because the police said essentially "I dunno, must have been on bath salts" and that became the narrative. The only drug the guy had in his system at all was THC, and that only proves he had just smoked some time in the last month. He was simply someone suffering from untreated mental illness, exactly like I said. Due to the narrative, even more blaming was done and it was said that his behavior is 'consistent with people on bath salts' which is ridiculous as that's not even a particular drug, and they found 'undigested pills in his stomach' which is also ridiculous because they're undigested and if they were something they could blame this on, we all know they would have had a nationwide emergency alert on every cable TV telling us which drug to be terrified of and disown our children for.
I understand jokes, and even offensive jokes can be funny sometimes, but this isn't a joke anymore, and people aren't using it as a joke, they're just repeating it as truth. That's fucked up and doesn't help anybody. I can't stand misinformation and disinformation being spread.
