Many parents and teachers have already heard about the dangers of "bath salts" - a fairly new and still legal substance that is turning out to be a major issue with teen drug use in Pennsylvania.
I want every parent and teacher to watch this video about the loop holes that make this substance still available at convenience stores, head shops, and other retailers across the state. This news clip about the dangers of bath salts comes from our friends at WFMZ out of Allentown in Berks County, PA:
This new teen trend of using these bath salts to get high is definitely something every parent and teacher needs to know. Hope this tip helps.

Jamie, thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteIn live outside of York, PA and I am very familiar with the Susan P. Byrnes Health Education Center.
I came across your blog because I've been looking for some expert and high-quality resources to post on in our "Raising a Family" stage on our website.
I just wanted to let you know that we're going to post a link to your blog so parents can have an expert to follow about teen drug trends, not just in PA, but nationally.
Thanks for starting this!
