News has reached the Kalistani foreign Ministry about a Kalistani national, and sea-food lover Alexander Smith-Jones, who has been arrested in the distant land of Tropico for creating a disturbance at a Tropican restaurant.

"According to Tropican News Sources, Smith was smoking something called "Bath Salts', and apparently became possessed by an evil spirit.  On last report, he was to be subjected to exorcism, which we assume is the Tropican equivalent to rehab.  We encourage Smith to get the help that he needs to break the habit of dependency on such a horrible drug, and will offer the Tropican government our full support in dealing with this fellow."

ODEN issued the following comment:  "The Organization of Drug Exporting Nations, headquartered in Kaliburg, does not sanction the use of bath salts for recreational purposes.  These bath salts, which are smoked, frequently cause bizarre and occasionally dangerous behavior when injested through smoking or eating.  Bath salts are not drugs:  they are salt that you put into your bath.  Any use beyond their nintended purpose is considered drug abuse as a policy of ODEN.  As a non-drug substance that people may use contra to all indications which suggest using them only for their intended purpose, we advise all drug users to avoid bath salts, and stick to genuine ODEN product, which may be easily and legally obtained and used anywhere within the Republic."

The Foreign Ministry is currently looking into ways to bring Smith-Jones back to Kalistan, but when the government turns over within the next few months, the process may likely be delayed.
