*"Bath salts" or "plant food," a powder that is inhaled, injected,
m m m m m m m m m m
ingested, or smoked to produce an effect close to that of cocaine or
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
amphetamine. High doses bring a risk of violence, paranoid psychoses,

and suicide. Tachycardia, euphoria, diaphoresis, tachypnea, muscle
m m m m m m m
cramping, and abdominal pain are not associated with bath salts;
m m m m m m m m m m
rather, they are associated with opiate withdrawal. Amphetamine

withdrawal causes bradycardia and depression.
