hm… upon further inspection I don’t believe comparing to PCP is appropriate since PCP is a dissociative anaesthetic/hallucinogen not a stimulant (as ‘bath salts’ typically are).
In any case I think the discussion of “synthetic drugs” is something we should encourage people to avoid since it’s a buzz word that means very little in the scheme of things. We and the media should be calling these drugs by their chemical names so at least the people interested in checking this stuff out know what the hell they’re actually putting in themselves - but that will never happen since the non-specific mystery of exactly what these drugs are is part of the scare campaign against them.
