Clearly the use of illegal, and legal, drugs to get high is for the young and foolish. It seems to be a monthly news item, "13 year-old ingests "bath salts" and is hospitalized; friend is arrested." On Monday a similar, but not so similar story surfaced. The story revolves around Brian Mulligan, a former FOX TV Chairman and current VP for Deutsche Bank. The standard investment banker beat up by police story quickly unravels. Mr. Mulligan's own version is entertaining all by its self. Enjoy this article and video, especially the audio tape of Mulligan. Not your normal teenager checking out what's new at the head shop.
Bath salts are not for your bath. They are synthetic cathinones. Imagine a high potency and very dirty methamphetamine. "White Lightning" was consumed in large amounts by Mulligan. He experienced effects that were not unusual. You have to appreciate that he was hearing helicopters and they were after him. This article from WebMD gives great information on Bath Salts. Today bath salts are illegal by Federal law and illegal is most states. But they persist. They are still available over the Internet. Plus new versions hit head shops every day. Unfortunately the problem is not going away.
So Brian Mulligan, good luck with your lawsuit against the LAPD. Maybe you should leave getting high on bath salts to teenagers.
