(August 2018) </Td> </Tr> <P> "Bath salts" (also "psychoactive bath salts", "PABS" or in the United Kingdom monkey dust) is a term used to describe a number of recreational designer drugs . The name derives from instances in which the drugs were sold disguised as true bath salts . The white powder, granules, or crystals often resemble true bath salts such as Epsom salts, but are very different chemically . The drug's packaging often states "not for human consumption" in an attempt to circumvent drug prohibition laws . Recreational drugs have also been similarly disguised as plant food, hookah cleaner, and other products . </P> <P> Synthetic cathinones such as mephedrone, which are chemically similar to cathinone, naturally found in the plant Catha edulis (khat), were first synthesised in the 1920s . They remained obscure until the first decade of the 21st century, when underground chemists rediscovered them and began to use them in designer drugs, as the compounds were legal in many jurisdictions . In 2009 and 2010 there was a significant rise in the abuse of synthetic cathinones, initially in the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe, and subsequently in the United States . Drugs marketed as "bath salts" first came to the attention of authorities in the US in 2010 after reports were made to US poison centers . In Europe, the drugs were predominantly purchased from websites, but in the US they were mainly sold in small independent stores such as gas stations and head shops . In the US, this often made them easier to obtain than cigarettes and alcohol . Bath salts have also been sold online in small packets . </P>
