A bad batch of gear was making the rounds during O-Week, leaving students both impoverished and with severe stomach pains after consumption. Gauging the extent of the damage, Critic Te Ārohi spoke to Max Phillips, the KYS co-regional manager. Whilst bath salts lowkey get the job done (don’t tell your mates), Know Your Stuff warns that users taking synthetic cathinones can suffer adverse side effects such as hypothermia, abnormal heartbeat, insomnia, and even paranoia in extreme cases. The scientists at Critic Te Ārohi estimate that a gram of gear sets you back around $200, a price few students would be willing to flush down the drain. No more samples of the bath salts have been found since the Thursday of O-Week
