causeway. he is -- on top of the man leading him. the man is bleeding. i promise you. >> now, authorities believe there may be a connection with this unspeakable violence to a drug known as bath salts. dr. drew, our sister network hln, breaks down the drug and its profound effects. >> this is a series of chemicals that is related to amphetamine and ecstacy. it causes hallucinogenic properties and a stimulant properties. you are completely detached from reality because of a biological disturbance in your brain caused by bath salt. i'm going to say it again. nothing to do with the bath. it is a pure drug that people snort and shoot. it can trigger violence. some people have been shown to have unexpected strength. again, i talked about this and spice, which is a different thing altogether. both can be bought over-the-counter. this is a warning for your kids. let's go to a quick call.
