There are reports of people putting bath salts into bath water.

Positively shocking!

A part of me is wondering if the original people who made this actually intended this to be used as normal bath salts, and who the idiot was who thought getting high of bathroom products was a good idea.
Similarly, given the way it is being labeled and sold, I wonder how many little old ladies have bought this stuff and tried using them in the bath.

No, it's just a way of marketing a designer drug more covertly, by labeling it something else.

Most of it is this stuff.

One thing I'm surprised I haven't seen is reports of people ingesting actual bath salts: it must have happened by now, surely? There are enough stupid people out there that at least one of them's done it. I'm morbidly curious if anything happened to them other than getting violently sick, which I think would be a given.

in defense of the label, the first time I heard it, ACTUAL bath salts were the first thing I thought of.  My second thought was "I remember my lavender bath salts being nice when I was younger, but who would snort that stuff?!"

Ditto.  But then, people will snort anything if they think it will get them high.  That's why they have to have labels on aerosols and paint cans saying not to do it.

I won a thing of bath salts and when dad asked me what they were I told him and he was like "...the drugs that could kill you?"

I facepalmed.

Hey, I understand completely.  My buddy and I were worried about how it would affect our individual bath enjoyment, a la sudafed and the impossibility of getting real cough congestion relief since meth hit the market.  Turns out, not really about our lavender bath crystals lol.

Maybe they should've come up with a different street name like "Crazy Crystals" or "Demon Dust" or something.

Now the name "bath salts" will be forever tainted. Time to use synonym. Bath Crystals? 

[SpaceProg]

Eh, it didn't hurt Coke very much.

[Shane for Wax]

Bath crystals is already a thing too.

I don't think drug producers really care about the public image of actual bath salts.

Realize that the drug they call "bath salts" and actual bath salts are not even close to being the same thing. The only reason the drug is labeled and marketed as "bath salts" is to provide some legal justification for the sale and distribution of what is, essentially, just another new synthesized drug the Federal Gov't hasn't gotten around to criminalizing yet. If you put that shit in your bath it wouldn't do anything except make the water murky.
