Looks like something the Navy will show during basic training and mandatory formations.

Reefer Madness was funny because pot's not that bad or even close to how it was depicted in the movie.

Bath Salts aren't good and have no redeeming social value, IMHO.

Headline: "The Navy's Anti-Bath Salts Video Is Even More Ridiculous Than You'd Think"

Reality: The video is a lot less ridiculous than you'd think, if you've seen past Navy general military training videos. Think of corporate training videos, without the threat of losing one's job over lack of talent.

Thanks a lot subby, now I have a My life with the Thrill Kill Kult song stuck in my head.

There is no epidemic, and nearly every article you read about it was quietly corrected with "Bath salts were not involved" weeks later. It was the Jenkem of 2012.

That said, don't smoke weird shiat you can buy at the gas station.

CygnusDarius		2013-01-03 02:55:36 PM

Only this time, Bath Salts are bad. Or good, if you like facebook.

Well holy f*cking hell...this looks awesome! Time to go try some bath salts!

It's called bath salts...it turns all your bad feelings into good feelings. IT'S A NIGHTMARE!!!

That's a good start. No point in paying money for an addictive method of protracted suicide.

I remember that after-school special. It was pretty horrifying.

Has anyone here had to sit through the mandatory carrier deck mishap snuff compilation back in the day?

The effects they describe sound similar to what I've read Jimson Weed will do to you. Fark all of that.

Inaccurate. He'd go to sick call, they'd give him motrin. The end.

It's funny that Balki Bartokomous is now a psychiatrist with the Navy. Glad he found work.

Cast		2013-01-03 03:14:14 PM

Quit taking these bullshiat bathtub chemicals and just drink a beer or smoke a joint or at least something with a significant history of relatively safe use.

I hear people see crazy shiat while they are dying, but that doesn't really make dying recreational.

/stick with the weed kids, real weed, not grass clippings sprayed with chems.

A lot of military training videos start with "Hi, I'm Carl Weathers, you might remember me from..."

Several times.

I am disappoint. That was nowhere near as redonkulas as I expected.

/like most mil-training videos, it looked like a high school AV project.

D_Evans45		2013-01-03 03:21:30 PM

I couldnt watch more than 2 minutes, but 1:08-1:12 are golden.

Barracks rooms look kinda like hotel rooms. The furniture is stiff, wooden, and uncomfortable.

I got the flight line version for the Air Force, which still included that kid who got sucked up an intake and then crawled out about 60 seconds later.

I got an egg salad sandwich out of a vending machine in a gas station bathroom. It turned out pretty ok!

There's been very little research done on the compounds commonly found in bath salts. I don't know how some of you have decided that they are in fact really bad and that this isn't just your usual anti drug propaganda.

Maybe it is a dangerous drug. However I'm a bit skeptical considering this whole bath salt danger craze started with the face eater, and we all know how that turned out.

Well any time people are being the guinea pigs for new chemicals bad things can and do happen. Not everybody is going to decide to start eating homeless people obviously.

But this video is pretty awful and much more likely to make people laugh than decide to stay away from bath salts.

truth is that they really aren't all that dangerous, at least any more so than prescribed meds or illicit drugs. but you MUST whip the media into a frenzy because we can't have the kids getting high, now can we?

Bath salts are probably not that good for you. However, they aren't going to turn you into a face eating zombie. They will give you a crappy buzz for 20 minutes or so.

THAT'S IT.
