complaining about ? You willfully and intentionally screwed with the operation of

Yes, some do. They mix it up and inject it. However, these are not actual bath salts, but a misbranded narcotic.

A man using bath salts attacked a homeless man, blinded him in both eyes, and started eating his face. He was shot to death by the police. Another man on bath salts made aggressive sexual moves towards a child in public and exposed himself. So don't use this stuff in any form, and certainly don't inject it.
