Did Lake Worth Have a 'Bath Salts Kingpin' and Not Know It?


Channel 10 says Lake Worth local Dylan Harrison is a "bath salts kingpin."

It's possible, of course(!) but this doesn't seem right to me.

Kavasutra, the Lake Avenue cafe owned by Harrison that was raided by law enforcement last week, sells a drink made from the root of a plant called kava that grows in Hawaii and Micronesia. It is a sedative and anesthetic, said to relax a person without reducing mental clarity.

The drugs known as "bath salts" are stimulants -- gonzo stimulants that seem to have an ether-like affect on people, making them feel super-hyped and incredibly violent.

The guys (and sometimes girls) I see outside of Kavasutra are always very, very, very, very chilled out.

Maybe Harrison was selling the "bath salts" elsewhere. But why was Kavasutra targeted?

I hate this conflation of things that are wildly different -- almost opposite.
