We know, for example, that these products often contain various 
amphetamine-like chemicals, such as methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MPDV), 
mephedrone and pyrovalerone. These drugs are typically administered 
orally, by inhalation, or by injection, with the worst outcomes 
apparently associated with snorting or intravenous administration. 
Mephedrone is of particular concern because, according to the United 
Kingdom experience, it presents a high risk for overdose. These 
chemicals act in the brain like stimulant drugs (indeed they are 
sometimes touted as cocaine substitutes); thus they present a high abuse
 and addiction liability. Consistent with this notion, these products 
have been reported to trigger intense cravings not unlike those 
experienced by methamphetamine users, and clinical reports from other 
countries appear to corroborate their addictiveness. They can also 
confer a high risk for other medical adverse effects. Some of these may 
be linked to the fact that, beyond their known psychoactive ingredients,
 the contents of "bath salts" are largely unknown, which makes the 
practice of abusing them, by any route, that much more dangerous.
