Like many of you may have heard, there is a growing problem with a drug being labeled as “bath salts” that are being used by individuals to get high. This is the street name for this designer drug that is either smoked or snorted but they were never intended to be soaked in or placed in a bathtub. Slowly, but surely most state legislatures have caught onto the once legal high method and are banning it from coast to coast. Being a premier supplier of “Real” mineral bath salts, The Midwest Bath Salt Company felt that there were still a lot of confusion and misunderstandings regarding the “drug – bath salts” and real bath salts. In fact the “drug bath salts and real bath salts, couldn’t be further apart from each other and The Midwest Bath Salt Company would like to set the record straight.

This drug being named “bath salts” are very devastating and addictive to teens and adults and is rightfully so being banned. “These “bath salt drugs” are not even bath salts at all” as explained by, Warren Watson, the founder of The Midwest Bath Salt Company. Warren continues to explain “These drugs do not contain any bath salt, sea salt or any skin therapy treatments at all. They contain Mephedrone and Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (aka MDPV) which are synthetic stimulant drugs of the amphetamine and cathinone classes. These “drug bath salts” are similar to any other synthetic drug that is on the market and should be illegal. The common symptoms of someone abusing the “drug bath salts” are agitation, paranoia, hallucinations, chest pain, and suicidal tendencies. This sounds like the exact opposite of the effects that real bath salts have on people who use them. Common names for the “drug bath salts” are Blue Magic, Cloud 9, Ivory Wave, Wicked X and there are many more.”

Now, what is the difference between the “drug bath salts”, and real bath salts? “Bath Salts at the Midwest Bath Salt Company are all going to contain natural ingredients that are not meant to be ingested in any way. However, even if you did ingest them, there would be no drug effects as it is only comprised of various sea salts, which is a component that is not in the “drug bath salts”. Real bath salts are soaked in or applied to the skin for their mineral properties and to help with common skin ailments as well and are not ingested to create a drug-like high,” saids Warren Watson.
