    Bath salts are a relatively new group of designer drugs sold as tablets, capsules, or powder and purchased in places such as tobacco and convenience stores, gas stations, head shops, and the Internet.


    They are stimulants that mimic cocaine, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), methamphetamine, or methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy). According to a recent article in the Journal of Psychosocial Nursing, the most common bath salts are MDPV, mephedrone, and methylone. These drugs cause intense stimulation, euphoria, elevated mood, and a reportedly pleasurable “rush.” Increased heart rate and blood pressure, chest pain, hallucinations, paranoia, erratic behavior, inattention, lack of memory of substance use, and psychosis have been observed in those who have used bath salts.

    I have a nephew who is an EMT, and he has responded to some calls with victims of Bath Salts.  He had commented about how bad these drugs are, more potent and dangerous than anything he has witnessed before.  Some of his victims were not lucky and they did not survive.  If I were a young person thinking of experimenting with any drugs, I certainly would avoid this!
