Agreed, the media is having a field day with this like they do with any other drug, and have for many drugs in the past. LSD got stories like this, though it was involved in very very few. It just doesn't make people violent. Makes them trip out, and I suppose if they are already violent they might continue to be, but it doesn't MAKE them violent.
I doubt 'bath salts' nearly as dangerous as the media says or involved in a quarter of the cases that they are rumored to be involved in.
As you mentioned though, that's not to say it isn't dangerous. From everything that I've seen and read, it's VERY dangerous and definitely not something I would ever try. And it does seem to make people more amped and yes even violent. Uppers generally do. It definitely needs to be a banned substance and there needs to be education out on it.
Just mean to comment that there is the usual media hysteria and overreaction.
