I was thinking of a certain December date that a certain Central American people group thought would mark the end of their calendar.

AHA! but see that already happened back last july-ish ( mayans didnt count leap years, or day light savings, or really anything that compensated for earths wobble) so the new cycle already started- and is a feminine cycle promoting prosperity, and enlightenment

so that rules them out... so it must be something political...

I thought the guy who said that about leap years miscalculated or something like that. Either way the Mayan calendar doesn't end, it just begins a new cycle, to put it simply.

Sorry to burst everyone's zombie bubble, but its looking like its drugs that are causing people to freak, called 'bath salts'

Actually, if you look it says "suspected to have been" there's not real information that's been released yet from autopsy reports. It's a statement taken from a doctor who had nothing to do with the case at all, and is only speculation, which is terrifying to me because why wouldn't you release a tox screen that they perform during autopsy.

Also, in other news...

lol thanks mate, I actually never left, was just lurking quietly a bunch more. ^_^ Now, go read the freaky news posts, lest I be forced to unleash the undead plague I set up on you....

I've already read them. Also I love in Halifax nova Scotia. We have about three old army bases in the area. One of which is on top of a hill that has a giant pit you fall into before even getting into the base.

I discovered a good article today, but long, that explains the science behind bath salts and gives its history too, which these cases had links to people being on this drug.

Basically, research in bath's salts potent ingredient actually came about in the 70s, when scientists were looking for ways to mimic some drugs and their hallucinogenic effects on the brain, and they came across a class of synthetic cathinones and it was later published. To their surprise this class of synthetic cathinones were already being used and abused in the Soviet Union (which was covered up). In the United States, it was later classified under a Schedule I substance, but it wasn't looked into because at the time, its abuse wasn't common until around 2010.

So the research into MDPV lead to scientists to discover its detrimental effects of dopamine in the brain, and what they found it carries the same effects as cocaine on the brain as well as meth. So not only are the neurons just surging with the NT, their receptors are being turned off to prevent re-uptake. What is also found that there is a delay for these drugs to start working and its side effects, ie: aggressive behavior, hallucinations, etc don't show up until the next day at times and therefore a major contributor for high abuse of the drug. The link made it a comparison to sinks:

Obama did sign into law the Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act which targets the ingredients used to make bath salts back in July. However, law enforcement has been finding these drugs are evolving. So not only before where every case was different with individuals who showed up in the ER, but now it will be even more of a challenge to find a counter health-wise for these individuals.

Still not zombies guys, just science doing its best work.
