(Graphic) 'Bath-Salts' Injection Leads to Flesh-Eating Disease, 2 days later amputation of the woman's arm, shoulder and collarbone, mastectomy

No, she thought she was getting a good time, this wasn't a good time. She did something really stupid and where most of us do stupid things and have a small consequence she is going to suffer forever. Wish all people could understand and learn this before they suffer this way.

I think that we all play the odds quite deliberately when we do stupid stuff....if we are rational adults. Usually we get away with it, but this lady just found out the hard way that for there to be any odds at all, there has to be that one person!!!

I feel horrible for her, but perhaps this might dissuade others...at least for a while :(

Agreed! I can't believe this stuff is sold in head shops but you have to do the cloak and dagger thing to get a joint!

i was thinking about going to get some fake weed at lunchtime. it is easier to get, and is legal, so that makes sense, but it tastes weird, and i am not exactly sure what is in it. why do they have to do this to me? marijuana is mostly harmless, and it helps with my chronic pain, and headaches, from my degenerative disk disease, and from my acid reflux, not to mention that it helps my appetite, which i need because i am melting away. my state needs to legalize medical marijuana.

I truly feel your pain because I suffer from degenerative disc disease too! I've herniated two in the last four years! My state made it legal, thank God. The only bad things we have noticed are an increase in dispensary robbings and minors trying to get in on the action. I don't know about that fake pot. I've heard a lot of bad things about it, but then again, 40 years ago did you hear anything positive about real marijuana?

i just do not like the legal pain pills that doctors want you to take. they are too much, and are quite addictive.

Plus, they make you feel weird and personally, they act like amphetamines for me.

Depends 800lb. I had oral surgery a few weeks ago and I was prescribed vicodin, 10 pills. Only needed it for 2 days and have 5 pills left. Never got addicted to it. However, I had the side effect of drowsiness.

i had a tooth pulled, and it did not go well. i had to take hydrocodone for a month, and function, and work, and drive my son to daycare. it was a nice break from reality, but it was not a nice break from reality.

give me my ganja anyday, thank you.

i do to know that i would classify this as drug use. this is an unknown chemical compound, which is legal, but should not be. if the lesser drugs were legal, and available from government checked facilities, then people would use these, instead of unknown weird substances, which are legal, but can be lethal.

Well, you might not call it a drug, but people are trying to get high on it. And I can guarantee you that if it were not this substance it would be something else.

vanilla extract, whipped cream cans, Dayquill/Nyquill...Those are the ones that I remember being taken off the shelf a few years ago. And, damn it, that was around the time I really needed Dayquill.

diane

that is the point. people like to escape, and they will continue to use mind-altering substances. why should the safer, known drugs be illegal, and this garbage, be legal? it just does not make sense. i have no problem with someone smoking a joint. it is way better than, bath salts, jenkem, or krokodil. google them, but i warn you, if you have a weak stomach, then be wary of the krokodil images. it seems russian youths are losing limbs over this one, as well, and it comes from over-the-counter, legal substances (codeine is available in russia without a prescription).

good idea. no flesh eating disease for me, thank you.
