The past 5 years have seen a dramatic increase in the abuse of synthetic cathinones (e.g., MDPV and methylone), which are marketed as 'bath salts,' and are widely available for purchase on the internet and in local shops as 'safe' and 'legal highs.' In addition to a high potential for abuse, 'bath salts' also have a high potential fr toxicity, characterized by severe cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric complications.
