NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH

On August 12, 2011 KFVS12 aired an interview with a man who made bath salts. The title of the story was "Maker of bath salts says he has nothing to hide". Roger Seratt of Missouri claims he makes bath salts and sells them for legitimate purposes. He says "no I cannot take responsibility for every junky on the street. I cannot do it". Seratt says that "I resisted getting into bath salts. "I'm familiar with how they were uh being abused and I just personally don't agree with it". The reporter asks him why if he knows this did he start making them and get into the business. He then replies, "For the money". He speaks about the fact that he got into making the bath salts a year ago because of how much money he seen that he could make off of them.

Being the great upstanding citizen that he is he claims to even try to manufacture them in a way that if they are abused they won't be deadly to a person. The use of bath salts in Southeast Missouri has become rampant. It is responsible for the deaths of numerous users now. It also played a key part in the late July killing of a Florida woman in Tamms, Illinois. After a high speed chase the dead woman's husband was shot and killed by a police officer.

This particular story of the man baking the bath salts angered me, and disgusted me. He was right he didn't have anything to hide. It was blatantly obvious that he knows that they are being abused and does not care what happens to the lives of the users. This makes him no different than if he was dealing crack cocaine.
