Is Injecting "bath Salts" Harmful To Health?

Obviously injecting all "bath salts" is bad. I keep hearing that 2 different chemicals are involved. I have a friend who has been using the one that seems mire like meth. Is there one that's more like coke. Im worried she's gonna hurt herself on the one she's been using.

Dear,
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Injecting bath salts are bad for health. A variety of chemicals make up bath salts. These include mephedrone pyrovalerone and methylenedioxyprovalerone (MPDV). The most serious results come from snorting or injecting.

They act as strong stimulants and may be sought by a person who normally uses cocaine or methamphetamine. They are strongly addictive and trigger intense cravings. Even a person who sees that they are experiencing harm from abuse of these drugs may not be able to stop himself.

Therefore I suggest you to convince your friend to undergo a deaddiction program.

Good luck. Happy New Year. Take care.
