DONT DO BATH SALTS

So... im sure many of you read the news and whatnot, bath salts are a problem. From what I have read, usually the ingredients are Mephedrone, MDPV, or Methylone. I have seen some reports that say there could be some other ingredients in some bath salts, that I dont know. Erowid has pages on all those chemicals BTW.

They are sold in vials, and look like coke. Apparently they give an intense euphoric high, and the side effects of course include paranoia, hallucinations, etc.

Why am I saying all this? Well I think a lot of you all know I work in an ER, and this week we had two overdose deaths presumably from bath salts (NOT POLYSUBSTANCE ABUSE, BATH SALTS ONLY). We have also had multiple admissions both psychiatric and medical, from bath salt abuse. I can say for a fact even though its only anecdotal, that these bath salts are no good. Im not your local bimbo news anchor, so im not going to use scare tactics or lies to convince anyone. However, I am saying I have seen with my own two eyes that this shit can fuck you up. Our docs dont seem to know how to treat it, and some of the side effects and medical issues have been lasting weeks. It honestly reminds me a lot like taking care of someone on PCP. The only thing is that these chemicals seem to be causing organ failure and death as well.

Anyways, consider that a PSA or something, if you are ever given the choice, I personally believe this would be one of those things that would not even be good in moderation.

Ohio May Ban 'Bath Salts' Posted by Vince Grzegorek on Thu, Jun 30, 2011 at 3:35 PM

A couple years ago mentioning bath salts would only conjure up images of a relaxing night in the tub. Kenny G is on the CD player, the lights dimmed, your pot belly gently poking out of the water, a loofa swirling the bubbles as tiny drops of water cascade over the edge, splashing on rose petals sprinkled over the floor. Maybe you had taken Cialis, and your wife is in a completely separate tub on the other side of the room. But she doesn't like Kenny G and keeps talking over your favorite parts of the song, and you wonder why you bought the rejuvenating face mask from Sky Mall and not the noise-canceling headphones. In fact, why were you shopping from Sky Mall in the first place. You could have been searching the internet for escorts, all of whom love Kenny G of course, and even if they didn't, they'd pretend for you. Then you feel yourself getting a little too worked up and add some bath salts to the water, and the stress and shrill voice of your wife fade away.

Where were we? Right, bath salts.

Now "bath salts" are code, a friendly name for synthetic crap people are snorting like cocaine. It's caused problems, including possibly making you think 37 invisible ninjas are invading your home, and has already been banned by some cities.

The state is making its move now. According to the AP, a bill banning "bath salts" awaits John Kasich's signature, and once that happens they will be categorized similarly to marijuana, which of course should be legal itself, but that's a different conversation.


Lol bath salts info for people that never heard of it.

This is incorrect.

As has already been stated, these "bath salts" are sold in vials at head shops and redneck gas stations etc. They are chemical powders, they look something akin to cocaine. They are meant to be snorted, or possible eaten. They are NOT the same as epsom salts, sea salts, rock salt in any form. They are a completely different thing. Some terrible individual just felt that if he marketed these legal and more or less unknown chemicals as "bath salts" (which is laughable) and labeled the vials "not for human consumption" then he could make mad money as a drug dealer, without any of the problems associated with breaking the law.

right, they can even hand out "manuals" that clearly show that they are meant to be inhaled, snorted or smoke or whatever

honestly, I feel that E is one of the safest drugs you can do. How can that be you might ask? You can look up specific tabs online and find out exactly whats in them, or pick up a test kit for $50 and test everything your self. Compared to buying other drugs and having no way of knowing if you are getting what you have been told it is. Now of course it is still very bad for you, but so is everything else on earth other then water and fruit it seems. If you are smart about your drug use, you should never have a problem.

Actually balto mdma is relatively safe within the realm of illicit drugs but it is by no means the safest. And to say that everything is bad for you other than fruit and water is such an overstatement. Yes, there are positives and negatives to eating red meat but you can't compare that to taking molly or x. I thought it would be obvious that an overload of seratonin that goes for a few hours until you come down (during which the opposite effect happens) is seriously unhealthy with DEFINITE long term effects even with moderate use. I know you like your drugs, but seriously man. Don't be stupid.

And yeah, if you snort something that says 'not for human consumption' then you might die. That's why you get real drugs that ARE for human consumption. hehe.

well technically

Dosis facit venenum.
Translation: "It is the dose that makes the poison."

drink 8 liter of water and you die. drink 0 water and you die. it pretty much applies to anything.

without looking it up, 1 kg of pure vitamin c should be deadly and so on...
