What are the effects of bath salts?

 Dec 21,2022

Bath salts are a designer drug of abuse with reports of dangerous intoxication from emergency departments across the US. "Bath salts" are not a hygiene product used for bathing, as the name might imply, but are dangerous synthetic ("man-made") cathinones. Cathinones are khat plants' stimulants, which grow in East Africa and southern Arabia. These mind-altering drugs are strong central nervous system stimulants that inhibit the dopamine-norepinephrine reuptake system (neurotransmitters in the brain).

Balt salts can lead to serious and even fatal adverse reactions. The drug effect is a high or "rush" that is similar to methamphetamine (speed). They are often sold on the street as cheap substitutes for other stimulants such as methamphetamine and cocaine.

Depending on the core ingredients of the bath salts you are using, bath salts can contain the following:
Magnesium, Bromide, Chloride, Sodium, Calcium, Potassium, Iodine, Sulfur, Zinc.
