Inside the World of a "Bath Salts" Drug User (KTVA.com Exclusive)A terrifying look into the life of young people using the controversial synthetic drugRelated Content
Jake throws his hands up and rolls up his sleeve. “Do you see my arm? Do you see it? Do you know what those marks are? Shooting scars. That’s a lot right? Her [expletive] arms are scarred; they are ruined. She is not beautiful because she is a drug addict.” He walks out of the room and goes into the bathroom where Elizabeth had been vomiting. Fifteen minutes pass and the bathroom door opens and they both walk out. Jake still has a belt tourniquet on his arm and he seems more together than before. “We’re going to get Bliss,” Jake says and looks at the floor. He grabs the reporter’s arm and holds her gaze. “You shouldn’t come back, because at the end of the day a drug addict is a drug addict. I won’t get clean – even if I want to. The day I am clean is the day I die, and that could be in a month or when I am 60, but today I’m alive, and so today I’m buying Bliss.” |

This is an incredible article showing a slice of the reality of drug addiction. I also wish that school kids could see and hear what these people are saying while they are in the midst of addiction. And Megan Edge, you don't say "it doesn't phase him", you say "it doesn't faze him".

What needs to be done is a brutally honest series of classes in the schools that shows what exactly this stuff does to the people who take it. Show the physical effects, the emotional, mental and sociological effects. Show these kids early on what EXACTLY happens when you get into drugs! Autopsies, physical examinations, and detailed medical explanations for what happens to your body.

What can we, as a community, do to get these people help and get these drugs off the streets? This effects all of us!
