"Bath Salts" may sound soothing, but it's a new street drug that has police on edge. The drug has been present in some areas of the country, but local police say it hasn't turned up here yet. Woodstock Deputy Police Chief Daryl Longworth explains the known effects of this drug. "Hallucinations, paranoia, chest pains, blurred vision. It's been described to me as similar effects as an ecstasy, very euphoric, but also very dangerous implications because of the hallucinations. No one knows where those hallucinations might lead you to." It apparently led one man in Miami to savagely chewing the face off of a homeless man in what some are describing as a zombie-like attack. That case has led the Canadian government to seek a ban on the key ingredient in bath salts, MDPV. Longworth says the quick action by the government shows how dangerous this drug is. There are reports of it on the East Coast, in Calgary, and in some parts of Ontario, however, Longworth says it hasn't been detected here yet. "All of the drug officers have been out there looking. They're cognizant of the dangers and of what it looks like. So they've been beating the bushes, trying to find out about it."
