Bath Salts

Also known as "Ivory Wave," "Purple Wave," "Vanilla Sky" and "Bliss," "bath salts" is a very dangerous synthetic drug that is legally sold in many places. The drug bath salts is not made of the same chemical as the tablets people put into their bathtubs. However, it has been able to avoid breaking the law by naming the drug bath salts and labeling it "not for human consumption." 

ABC reporter Kevin Dolak explains bath salts best in an article:

"These so-called bath salts, not to be confused with cleansing products, are an inexpensive, synthetic, super-charged form of speed. The drug consists of a potpourri of constantly changing chemicals, three of which -- mephedrone, MDPV and methylone -- were banned last year by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency," he said.  

Bath salts can cause agitation, paranoia, hallucinations, chest pain, suicidal behaviors and extreme aggressive behavior. The symptoms of this drug mimic those of  methamphetamine and cocaine.
