John McAffee Wanted For Murder

[Luke Jaconetti]

This is too strange not to be true: John McAfee, pioneer of antivirus software, is wanted for murder in Belize, where he evidently has been experimenting extensively with "bath salts" and other drugs.

This is just... bizarre.

Drugs are bad, mmkay?

Seriously, those bath salts (and there are a lot of variations, every time one is outlawed they reconfigure it a bit to make it skirt the law) are bad news. Cheap, get you high for hours, make you incredibly paranoid, and wreck your body. We've seen more IV drug abuse lately at my hospital, but things come in waves and I expect this crap to hit our area within the next year or so.

Here in South Carolina, they're colloquially known as "spice," which amuses me as a fan of the movie Dune, but that is where the humor ends.  About this time last year you would hear 2-3 stories a day on the news radio's local report about murders, assaults, and other violent crime where the perpetrator was on spice/bath salts at the time.  Understanding that this is local news, which is usually nothing but bad news as a general rule, but it was getting to become commonplace.  SLED (SC Law Enforcement Division, the state police force) has been fairly assertive with rooting out new variants but like you say Cary they just formulate a new one.

That's why i wonder how CO and WA making pot legal may affect the 'spice/bath salts' folks. Why buy that chemical crap when you can buy the actual, natural product. No risk of OD or physical addiction to the 'real thing'. Of course the Feds still have a say about what is legal, but it may be time to reconsider this decades long war on drugs. Just an independent observer. :D
