Synthetic Cathinones, or bath salts, is a relatively new drug here in the United States. However, it has rapidly become popular within the last decade, as it is a “legal” way of getting high. Synthetic Cathinone refers to a family of drugs that contain more than one synthetic element similar to cathinone (cathinone is an amphetamine-like substance that can be found in the Khat plant). It is referred to as “bath salts” in order to avoid being detected by law enforcement.
Individuals have taken these “bath salts” in a wide variety of ways. Typically, the user takes “bath salts” orally, inhaled, or via injection.
These “bath salts” are in the form of white or brown crystalline powder and can be acquired quite easily. They have been marketed as “plant food,” “phone screen cleaner,” and “jewelry cleaner.” They have been sold online and in stores that specialize in drug paraphernalia, under a wide variety of names. Some of these names include:
The effects of these “bath salts” on the brain are similar to the effects of cocaine and amphetamines, as it raises the amount of neurotransmitter dopamine in circuits of the brain. This surge creates feelings of euphoria and increases the user’s activity, while raising blood pressure and heart rate.
Side effects of “bath salt” abuse include:

·         “Bloom”
·         “Scarface”

“Bath salts” have become a growing health and safety issue due to how intoxicating it is. It can produce feelings of euphoria and paranoia. Deaths have occurred from using this drug.

Such has occurred in the Netherlands, where mephedrone has been substituted for MDMA in pills labelled ecstasy.
In 2011, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration banned three synthetic cathinones, pending an investigation. In 2012, President Barack Obama signed legislation into law banning mephadrone and MDPV permanently, along with other synthetic drugs that are often sold as a marijuana substitution.
