WTF is up with this stuff? I just heard about this insanity on the news yesterday. Newest household high?

Essentially, it turns you into a psycho zombie.
"Bath salts are the latest narcotics trend to rattle communities mainly in the eastern US, baffling emergency-room doctors, spooking police officers, and prompting lawmakers to rush through bans and emergency legislation."
"A Miami police official has speculated that bath salts were behind the bizarre May 26 incident in which a 31-year-old man allegedly tore off the clothes of a homeless man under a highway and ripped off parts of his face."
"Many of these addicts are commonly mistaken for being 20 or more years older than they are. We recently sought to gain help for one young man, along the side of the road, out of his mind on bath salts, crawling on his belly, dragging behind him his broken ankle. He was withstanding the pain."
Other alleged instances of bath salt overdose:
The faces of bath salts:
"A local woman recently arrested on a Class A felony charge of aggravated trafficking in the synthetic drug known as bath salts is back in jail after showing up at the police station late Saturday night carrying illicit prescription drugs in her purse as well as powdery substances thought to be cocaine and more bath salts."

"Police in Charleston, West Virginia, found Mark Thompson wandering around the woods in a bra and panties and covered in the blood of his neighbor’s pygmy goat, which he had killed in his bedroom. He had been high on bath salts for three days."
Zombie Apocalypse?
