Bathsalts - A couple of Q's

[bloomies22]

Do they expire?

Do you have bath salts in your bathroom that are purely for decoration?

I am on a cleaning binge and I'm not sure if I should keep or toss...

I thought this was gonna be a discussion about the "zombies"...

Anyways, I don't think they expire, but if you don't plan on using them, you might as well toss?

I can't even deal with legit bath salts now. I got some as a sample the other day and tossed them.

ETA: Basically its a designer drug, commonly made up of MDPV (Methylenedioxypyrovalerone) or other meth-like substances, that is becoming popular. There was recently a dude in Florida who ate a man's face and it was suspected that he was under the influence of the drug.

Bath salts are illegal in my state. I mean the actual bath salts, not the drug. You can't buy the stuff that you put in a bathtub.

You can buy ingredients to make your own, but you can't buy the fruity packages that people used to keep on a shelf in the bathroom.

[bloomies22]

OH man, I had heard about the guy eating off someone's face - but only in passing. I need to read /watch the news more.

Well mine are legit Ahava salts but, I think this post confirms I should just toss...

Yes, it sucks here. I can site many examples.

Wait... real bath salts? Or zombie bath salts? That's weird if you mean real bath salts. Why the eff would they be illegal?

Yeah, I just modified my post. The real ones. I'm not one for soaking in a tub, so meh, whatever for me. My mom was pissed. They used to sell them at Rite-Aid and stuff. No more. You can order them online or make your own. But that's it.

They probably did it 'cause people are pretty dumb around here. They were probably trying to snort actual bath salts. Borax up the nose doesn't sound very good.

Girls around here put vodka soaked tampons in their vagina to get drunk. Vodka = scentless. Just drink it already.

I have AHAVA bath salts...that's good stuff! You should use it haha. Buuuut if you never actually take the time to relax in the bath, you may as well just toss.

And to clarify...the drug called "bath salts" is not actually the same as bath salts you put in your bath, in case anyone was wondering.

Really? (Forgive me if I sound ignorant) One of the local news stations talked about it and didn't say it anything about it being false.

But you know, whatever you hear stories like that, you should talk it with a grain of (bath) salt

[NachoProblem]

I swear I should have bought bath and body works stock right after the bath salts incident. How many stupid teenagers do you think are snorting the shit you put in the bath trying to get high? Zombie bath salts =/= bubble bath salts.

Yeah, it was a spectacularly bad piece of reporting going on. The news picked it up for sensationalism.

It hits all the high points.

Besides, how would you get a soaked tampon in?
