“Ivory
Wave”, ” Purple Wave”, “Vanilla Sky”, and “Bliss”—- are all among the
many street names of a so-called designer drug known as “Bath Salts”. We
thought bath salts were for relaxing in a state of aromatherapy, after a
long day at the office? Unfortunately these “Bath Salts”, and similar
products with euphemistic names are not supposed to be for human
consumption. These products are being sold in shops, convenience stores
and gas stations and our children are purchasing these dangerous items.
These bath salts contain amphetamine-like chemicals such as
methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV), mephedrone, and pyrovalerone.
When MDPV gets to the brain, the effects include producing feelings
of empathy, stimulation, alertness, euphoria, sensory awareness and
hallucinations. Other reported effects include rapid heart rate, high
blood pressure, and sweating. Parents and schools must stress to
children that these substances, despite not being illegal, these can be
even more dangerous than street drugs, just like tobacco & misused
medications. This is the ideal moment to have that conversation to help
the youth understand why something that is legal is not necessarily
safe.
Using bath salts as directed can be a tool in achieving a level of
relaxation. Also, when you make your now, you can make it a family
project and spend some quality time with your kids in the kitchen.
