Police: New mom smoked bath salts in Pa. hospital

By Associated Press

POSTED:



ALTOONA, Pa. >> A new mother has been charged with smoking the powerful synthetic stimulant known as bath salts two days after she gave birth, while still in the maternity ward of a central Pennsylvania hospital.

Online court records don't list an attorney for 31-year-old Carla Murphy, of Altoona, who is charged with aggravated assault and various drug counts for allegedly stripping naked and fighting with staff at the Altoona Regional Hospital on June 17. She faces a preliminary hearing Aug. 8.

The Altoona Mirror (http://bit.ly/NawCAx ) reports hospital police had to be called to subdue Murphy after she stripped, rolled around on the shower floor, and couldn't answer questions from hospital staff.

Police later found the drugs in Murphy's personal effects and at her home.

How is it we have the gestapo stomping ordinary citizens in marijuana dispensaries, and "bath salts" are easily available? People, including kids are getting stuff right off the selling floor that they've turned into a cheap high that can kill you, and we've outlawed a non-fatal product in pot that grows like weeds? These people that are killing themselves with all these "synthetic" poisons on our grocery shelves, simply for a cheap high, can safely accomplish the same thing with pot. Except, of course, pot is still illegal according to the feds.
