Some states recently classified bath salts as Schedule I drugs after they were found to cause hallucinations, suicidal thoughts and death.
In most states, bath salts are legally sold at convenience stores, gas stations and head shops. Though they are generally used for their cosmetic purposes, bath salts contain a chemical known as methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV), which is also found in some plant fertilizers and is known for its stimulatory properties.
The salts are not designated for human consumption, yet there have been hundreds of reported incidents of users snorting, smoking and even injecting the substances, according to a Feb. 14 American Association of Poison Control Centers press release.
Poison control centers across 43 states have received 469 calls regarding users who have ingested the bath salts.
Side effects of ingesting the salts, which have been compared to methamphetamine and cocaine, include increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, agitation, hallucinations, extreme paranoia and delusions, according to the press release.
“These products create a very severe paranoia that we believe could cause users to harm themselves or others,” said Mark Ryan, the director of the Louisiana Poison Control Center, in a press release.
Louisiana has reported at least 165 cases of bath salt consumption.
“If you take the very worst of some of the other drugs–LSD and Ecstasy with their hallucinogenic-delusional type properties, PCP with extreme agitation, superhuman strength and combativeness, as well as the stimulant properties of cocaine and meth-if you take all the worst of those and put them all together this is what you get. It’s ugly,” Ryan said to HealthDay News.
Last month, Neil Brown, a man who admitted to using heroin and crack cocaine, was shocked at the bath salts’ effects, according to an article in the Huffington Post.
Brown, a Mississippi resident, consumed the bath salts and then used his skinning knife to cut his face and abdomen. While he survived, Brown was so traumatized by the incident that he wrote Mississippi lawmakers asking them to ban the substance.
Louisiana has had similar incidents, with some cases resulting in suicides. Because of the prevalence and danger of the salts, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal classified the bath salts as Schedule I drugs in early January, meaning that buying, selling or possessing the salts would carry the same penalty as heroin.
Florida followed suit by banning the salts in late January, while other states such as Kentucky and Mississippi are moving toward banning the substance as well.
So far the abuse of bath salts has largely been contained in the southern and western regions of the U.S. However, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is asking the New York State Department of Health Commissioner, Nirav Shah, to ban the salts as well.
The regional poison control center for Massachusetts and Rhode Island could not be reached for comments.
Boston University students said they agree that abusing bath salts is uncommon and not as serious as legislators assume.
“I think it’s weird,” said Justin Liu, a College of Arts and Sciences sophomore. “I don’t know why you would want to snort bath salts, but I guess people snort a lot of other things too.”
I just cannot phathom who and why anyone decided that friggin bath salts would be a good idea to consume, In anyway. I mean I dont understand why anyone would even think that being paraynoid, seeing things that are not there and saying and doing things that would or could make you want to kill yourself. MY BESTFRIEND CALLED ME YDAY MORNIN AND TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD TO GO PICK UP A WOMAN THAT SHE WAS CHILDHOOD FRIENDS WITH HAD SNORTED THESE BATH SALTS. IF YOUR READING THIS READ CAREFULLY. THE SIDE EFFECTS THAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT ARE TRUE. NOT ONLY DID THE GIRL THAT SNORTED THESE BATH SALTS HAD EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE AWFUL SIDE EFFECTS, SHE ALSO WANTED TO KILL HERSELF, I KNOWN THAT IF SHE HAD NOT BEEN THERE THESE BATHS SALTS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE END OF HER LIFE. SO PLEASE NEVER TRY THIS. I HAVE PERSONALY NEVERNDONE DRUGS. I CANNOT SEE WHAT THE APPEAL WOULD BE, HOWEVER THERE ARE THOSE THAT ARE ALWAYS SEEKING OUT AND CHASING THAT NEXT HIGH, OUR LIVES ARE A GIFT, I THINK WE SOMETIMES FORGET THAT AND IF THIS KIND OF STUFF KEEPS GOING ON IT WILL GET TO THE POINT WE CANNOT TAKE A SOOTHING BATH. I FEEL REALLY BAD FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ABUSE DRUGS THEY NEED HELP. BUT THIS ISNY EVEN A DRUG ITS SUPPOSTED TO GIVE U SOFT SKIN. I HAVE THREE TEENAGERS AND CANT SEEM TO KEEP UP WITH THE INSAIN WAYS THAT SOME PEOPLE COME UP WITH TO GET HIGH. I WILL SAY THAT OF EVERY THING I HAVE EVER HEARD OF THIS ABSOLUTLEY BLOWS MY FREAKIN MIND, EVERYONE PLEASE DONT USE THESE AS A WAY TO GET HIGH. IT WILL COST YOU YOUR LIFE. NO BUZZ IS WORTH THAT, GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE ANS STAY SAFE.
I love drugs. After I read that bath salts get you high I tried eating some but they tasted horrible like perfume or shampoo. I wound up mixing some with water and drinking it. All bath salts do is give you a bad stomachache and make you throw up foam. It’s a fraud.
Yeah… they are horrible. I am taking care of a patient who ingested some salts and now his intestines are dying and he is passing them in his stool. It’s an awful thing to witness a 24 year old young man crapping out his own organs. DO NOT USE BATH SALTS.
this is your classic idiot lookin for a high. hes too stupid to know that eating will cause a different effect. they’re are called bath SALTS. what does saltwater do when u drink it? idiot!
the thing is why do our officials keep banning and banning every thing that some people decided to try and be stupid with ..do we have to suffer for it ..I don’t care about bath salts since i don’t use them but i am sure others do .. i mean what if drinking ketchup got you high as long as you consumed 16 oz or more( please no one try this i do not believe ketchup will do this hehe) they even try to ban ketchup i am storing gallons of it and will chain myself to them if need be.. lol.
seriously though I wonder is it concern for public safety or is it more a control issue ..there are other substances that cause far far more deaths and yet are perfectly legal, maybe its fine as long as there is plenty of money to be made..but whatever ban away i guess is the theme lately..
I would have never thought a girl way of relaxing by taking bath salt could get you high wow I am going home an trashing all mine so my baby’s don’t get it
not all bath salts work, they are a drug that is labeled as bath salts, when in reality they arn’t bath salts.
Two days ago my nephew died after using bath salts. I’d never heard of doing anything but soaking in them so I looked it up and found medical info and this. Obviously your drinking it allowed the stomach to act on it but snorting it or injecting it into the blood stream must be what gives it the full effect. DON”T BE MISTAKEN! My nephew threw himself through a glass window, ran naked through a parking lot, and threw himself into a drainage ditch. They tried to keep him alive for almost an hour at the hospital after someone had called 911 right away. His heart and breathing were compromised. He was 34; it didn’t have to happen. Please don’t use this stuff; it has some of the same ingredients as plant food!!!
Please do not try bath salts….as we speak a very dear friend of mine is being taken to the hospital……. he has been doing bathsalts for a month and he doesnt go to work and is sooooo paranoid ….he thinks someone is trying to kill him…. this stuff is very addictive…… DO NOT TRY THEM……I hope my friend doesn’t die……… He is 40 years old….college graduate……good job…….now his life is shit…….. DO NOT DO BATH SALTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! AS BAD AS METH>>>>>>>>
I understand.the guy on my block i know very well is on this and he thinks cops are spying on him and he goes crazy..he will take your phone if you have it out in front of him and wont give it back…the sad part is the cops wont do nothing
My 20 year old daughter was admitted to a crisis program this week after doing bath salts – The change in her appearance and behaviour was very noticable. At first I thought she was losing weight due to beginning work at a new job….no so! Quickly her face become marked with sores and she constantly attacked it with picking at the sores….her movements while using were disjointed, erractic and she had the appearance of a bobblehead doll only a bobble head body! She seems to have no memory of this… My heart is breaking for her and the decisions she is making. My heart is also breaking for me to think I may be loosing my daughter to drug abuse that I cannot stop her from choosing. This could be a slow suicide and when the “child” is over 18 the parent looses many of the rights to advocate for them. This drug is DANGER in sheep’s clothing!
I accidentally put about 5-12 bath salts in my mouth, but then I spit it out. Am I okay?
I strongly disagree. I have taken a bath salt pill called “triple stalks” more than once. It is NOT the triple stack ecstasy i bought it in a liquor store. It has almost the same affect of ecstasy but not quite as strong. I had absolutly no problems with it. I didnt see things, I didnt throw up. It was GREAT. One of the best feelings in the world. The only thing is that you feel not as good the next morning. Its like a hangover. Its not bad its the same as drinking too much the night before. If you put yourself in a good enviroment with good people and are safe about it. No driving under the high, no drinking alcohol while taking it, dont mix it with any other substance, and you drink lots of water and have the fan on so your body doesnt get too hot, then you will be perfectly fine. Alot of these kids who “die from bath salts” have also mixed it with other things and have a regular pattern of illegal substances. That has a big role on it. If kids werent being so stupid enough to mix it with other things, then there wouldnt be these 911 calls or problems, and it wouldnt be looked down upon. Its like if you mix alcohol with cocaine, or alcohol with oxys or morphine, or alcohol with LSD or PCP you get really messed up and can have bad affects. But no one takes all that into consideration and therefore you get all these bad ideas about the pill. Of course its not the best thing for you but neither is ciggeretts or drinking. It doesnt kill you and its not the worst thing out there. If your kids are expierementing with this stuff instead of the real stuff then you should be thankful and talk to them about being safe with it and not turn to anything illegal that can ACCUALLY hurt you. WAKE UP PEOPLE.
You’re wrong taylor. Just becuase you think you recover, you are killing your body. You might be alive today, but in several months or years your kidneys and liver will very likely fail if you do not stop.
your the dumb one first your a whole staff wow 2nd he mentioned other legal excepted DRUGS that kill thousands daily. Selfdestruction is an epedimic in our world but instead of blamin the one truly at fault wwhich is in the lable u blame access or outside influinces games tv but it all starts with raising, knowledge and opinion. But the root lazy in need of a thril my kids know better parents. When you heard first did you pop a top through on a rack and ask your long time friends about it or did u have a sit down with your children fk ups mirror time…..
I also disagree Taylor, I have some friends who do it ALL the time because a store right by there house sells it they are addicted to it bad they lost alot of weight and are up for days. my boyfriend wanted to try the bath salts cause he heard good things he asked me if i wanted to and i thought y not obviously its good cause they seel it at a store and its completley legal so me him and two other friends tryed it we snorted ours cause it was spose to be like cocaine and dnt get me wrong i liked it it gave me all kinds of energy i felt like i was on top of the world i aint ever done real cocaine but my boyfriend and one of my friends that did it with us have and they both said its just like cocaine it made them feel the same. nothing happend to me or my boyfriend but the nxt day when we was coming down off of it my friends neck started swelling she noticed it right away she said she needed to see a doctor cause she aint never felt pain like that before so we went to rapid care and we didnt tell them wat we did the night before but the dr there sent us to the er cause she thought it looked like an allergic reaction. when we got to the hospital we tld them what we did so they could figure out if thats wat was causing it. her neck was swelling because there was air in ther and it was moving to her chest they culd never figure out wat was causing the air to be in her neck and chest he tld her ” y would u snort bath salts cocaine or crack dont do this to u” saying she wuld have been better off doing the real thing he ended up having to sent her to a biggger hospital with more specialist and shes still there and they tld her its life treatning there doing everything they can to figure out how or y theres air in her neck and chest they say they aint ever seen anything like this its probally a reaction of some kind to the bath salt. and this was all four of our first times doing it we didnt do any other drug but my point is everyones different and our bodys react different we all did it and shes the only one in the hospital! we learned our leason and wont do it again, but it aint good for u obviously theres a problem with this stuff they need to do something about it cause people are gettin hooked on it and getting hurt from it how can they sell shit like that to mess people up if there goin to do that they might as well sell the real shit! but im done bitchin just wanted to share my story DONT DO IT!
I knw this was a old post but I like the point u made. IV been doing the salts for almost 2 yrs. Everybdy acts like a crumb will kill u but IV dne 2 jars a day only time. Bad shit happend was after 3-4 days no sleeping or when mixing but I controled that and I’m fine. They talk about ppl dying from salt but they leave out all other details that contributed to it. Moderation is the key. I’ve triped hard but something else always helped it to happen. (been months without triping) I still havnt lost anything guitars enormous sterios lots of stuff could sell easy. Control ur self n its not a big deal. I have seen ppl it ruined tho seen crazy shit cuz they didn’t think 1st
Dude where are u from? I’ve been doin the same shit for about 2 years now too!
My fiance spent the last 6 months on these bath salts. It completely destroyed our family. We lost our home, everything in it but most importantly we lost him. He was so paranoid that I was conspiring against him, that I was trying to steal his identity. He thought I had people living in our attic waiting for him to go away or asleep so cheat on him. The last day I saw my fiance, we were at a hotel. A dispute had the police there. They saw how paranoid he was and said he needed a psych eval but did nothing. Our car was towed and we were 6 hours away from home. He thought the only way to get money to get his family back home (Which by the way, our 3 yr old, 10 yr old and myself 7 mo pregnant were on the side of the road waiting for him) was to rob a convenience store. I havent seen him since. My fiance is a good man, he always was. But this bath salt destroyed him, destroyed our family. Now he will miss the birth of our daughter in june, and who knows when we will ever feel his touch. This bath salt ruined my life. Had this freak incident not happened, he would have killed himself. He will tell you this now since he is clean from this crap, and is clear headed. But we both still have nightmares of what he put us through. PTSD is real, and is very much a side effect of this bath salt. Get anyone you know who does this help, or you will lose them. It may be forever.
That is awful, totally off the wall heartbreaking. if this is true, thank you for sharing.
You go from saying ” I havent seen him since.” to “He will tell you this now since he is clean from this crap, and is clear headed. But we both still have nightmares of what he put us through.”
I’m 41 and in rehab due to bathsalts. This stuff is no joke I’ve been clean for a month now and my heart is off beat now and headaches are horrible. Be aware this stuff will kill . My last uses I believe I was gonna die .your dumbass if you don’t listen if u don’t r.I.p.
Did u see him after the robbery or not…confused…first u said u didn’t and now u say he is clean..which is it?
I think maybe she means he’s in jail so she hasn’t seen him since. Cuz she said they “may never feel his touch again.” I don’t know…just how I comprehended it. But I could be wrong…happens a lot. Lol
She must be the one using them and hallucinated the whole thing lmao
I love bath salts. I have been awake the past 7 days on it. I do a line during my lunch break and for breakfast on a daily basis. This is BETTER then meth and coke in my professional opion. Hell I’m my companies best seller…and I’m twice as good after a nice bath. The smoke shop was selling em 31.79 a 250 mg bag n 4 for 100. Last night I found 500 mg bags (white rush is what I prefer) and they had 3 for 100. So instread of 1000 mg for 100 I get 1500 for 100. Thank u bath salts. I’m now a professional bather n I no longer smoke weed or drink.
I 10000000% agree with everything my friend the salty dog just said. White rush for the win!!!!!!
