    .......that people from the U.P. are backwoods hicks that operate with little rational thinking when I see this article on the front page of my local paper.

    having lived in L'Anse for 6 years, this does not shock me. Ran as fast as I could from that place as soon as I graduated high school.

    So if they don't find any side effects other than bloody noses, wtf is the problem?

    Worried people are going to enjoy themselves too much?

    makes you wonder just how many stupid things people have snorted trying to get high... in high school at lunch one day a kid snorted a line of table salt. his experience was less than euphoric but everyone else got a kick out of it.

    I read a story on this, stuff is a complete unknown in terms of long term consequences. People on the stuff go crazy in extreme cases. It can cause extreme distortion of reality, and has killed a handful of people already. Article I read interviewed a man who carved up his own face and chest while high on the stuff.

    LOL. The big headliner this year was that my hometown finally got cell service.

    I got no worries about people enjoying themselves. But when you're snorting bath salts to "enjoy" yourself, I have to question whether or not most people would "enjoy" that.
