Bath salts are dangerous drugs, and they are used by a variety of people from many different age and income groups. Bath salts are designer drugs, so they are created in a laboratory setting, and these substances can cause hallucinations and they have a stimulant effect on the user as well. When the designer drugs were first produced they were not technically illegal under the laws at the time, but that has changed and today bath salts are illegal to use in the USA and Canada. The term bath salts is commonly used for these man made substances because they resemble the bath products that people use in the tub, and bath salts are usually found in a white crystal or powder form although the color may vary.
