Bath salts vs the real thing

    I'm curious how do bath salts compare with real drugs like cocaine ?

    I've never taking either.

    But I'm wondering why drug dealers don't just sell bath salts instead of cocaine which happen to be far cheaper and easier to get.

    They wouldn't be drug dealers of they were only selling bath salts.

    Mephedrone is illegal now, so there are none of these substitute drugs readily available these days. It was like doing MDMA but the come down was legendarily awful.

    Terribly.

    I thought bath salts went out in 2010?

    For the moment there I was worried about my Epsom salts, but apparently when you talk about "bath salts" you're not actually talking about salts that you put into a bath... Hmm.

    I remember that Coca Cola used to advertise itself as 'the real thing' although they stopped including cocaine in the recipe over 100 years ago. Now there's a special facility in the US that processes the coca leave - the US government takes the cocaine from the leaves for CIA parties and Coca Cola use the rest for flavouring.

    Intrigued by the title I peeked in.
    I'm afraid I don't understand a thing.
    You can sniff bath salts instead of cocaine?
    Is bath salt the same as Epsom salts, relaxes your muscles and full of stinky perfume?

    Remember the time a user ate the face off a homeless lad in LA.

    Pardon me. I googled it.
    A synthetic drug.
    Well.

    Nothing like a Radox bath.

    You could smell it off yourself for about two days afterwards as well, fuelling the paranoia that came with the comedown.

    The skag from that stuff was disgusting! Some bad memories there...

    One of the McPoyles lost an eye when someone spiked the milk with bath salts. Deadly tack
