Bath salts is a legal fiction.
It isn’t nor has it ever been intended to be used in a bath tub.
It’s for up your nose..
Understood, but I would say most FReepers are smarter than your run-of-the-mill convenience store bath salt seeker. Personally, I wouldn’t buy anything more than an overpriced 6-pack or a candy bar from a convenience store, so the idea of buying something like bath salts is ludicrous in my mind.
That being said, I don’t think we should dismiss the fact that they are being marketed as bath salts but clearly aren’t. The manufacturers are selling a product surreptitiously as bath salts but know full well that the product is intended to get someone high. If they sold them as “designer hallucinogen,” they’d have the DEA shut them down ASAP.
Again, I’m all for libertarian drug laws, but marketing something as one thing when it clearly isn’t is illegal. It would be like saying, “Hey, this is bread,” but in reality, it’s ground up peanuts formed into a bread loaf. Someone with a peanut allergy buys the stuff thinking it’s bread, makes a sandwich, eats it and dies from anaphylactic shock.
