Update on the "Miami Zombie"

According to my research, though a lot of information has yet to be released on the case, Rudy Eugene was found with no flesh in his stomach. (Meaning that he wasn't actually eating the flesh, he was chewing on it.) Toxicology reported that the "suspected culprit" in this gruesome act was "bath salts". These salts whose chemical makeup mimic that of heavier drugs such as PCP, cocaine, methamphetamine and Extasy are said to be the cause of violent drug induced psychosis which caused Eugene to attack the homeless man. Eugene's ex-girlfriend has also stated that he had been prone to violence and drug use.

Upon even further research it turns out toxicology was wrong about bath salts. He only had THC (marijuana) in his system. I have NEVER read any case files in which a person under the influence of this particular drug has become cannibalistic. Which begs the question, what was REALLY going on with Rudy Eugene?

What I find somewhat odd about bath salts is that despite their chemical similarities with the heavier drugs, there are no documented cases of cannibal like violence while under the influence of these other drugs. Bath salts, which have been created by rogue chemists for years before their sky rocket to popularity as a street drug. So why bath salts? Why are these harmlessly named products causing these violent outbursts that have produced cannibal-like behavior? Something tells me there's more than meets the eye with this new "drug".
