A new designer drug called “Bath salts” has made an appearance in the Kennebecasis Valley.
That word from Rothesay Regional Police who warn the drug is highly addictive and the dangers are very similar to those of methamphetamine.
Users become agitated, suffer from paranoia, hallucinations, chest pains, suicidal thoughts, psychosis, self-mutilation, eventually excited delirium and perhaps even cardiac arrest.
More than 800 pills were seized after a drug raid on Golden Grove Road. They were analysed by Health Canada and found to contain the stimulant "bath salts".
