Band Bathsalts!

If you're like me, you never knew that something as soothing as bath salts could be abused and used as a drug. I've heard many stories of people inhaling bath salts and it causing them the hallucinate. In one, a woman allegedly tried to behead her 71-year old mother. Bath salts are characterized as an synthetic drug. For example, synthetic marijuana, which is sold in stores labeled as "potpourri". Marijuana and cocaine are less harmful than synthetic drugs because unlike bath salts and synthetic marijuana they come from plants. Synthetic drugs are man made, usually containing methamphetamine, and can be fatal if consumed. Because of this, the government wants to make all synthetic drugs illegal. Banning bath salts would be unfair for the inventor and would change the economy in a minor way. That business would no longer have anything (legally) to sell which which make the company irrelevant.
