Bath salts are synthetic stimulants that mimic the effects of drugs like cocaine, MDMA, and methamphetamine. Despite their name, they are not related to products used for bathing. These substances typically contain synthetic cathinones, such as MDPV, mephedrone, or methylone, which can cause intense euphoria, increased energy, and alertness. However, they are also associated with dangerous side effects, including agitation, hallucinations, violent behavior, and severe health risks like heart attack or stroke. Bath salts are often sold under various names and can be highly addictive and unpredictable.
