Mephedrone and Methylenedioxypyrovalerone

The new designer drugs are called "mephedrone and methylenedioxypyrovalerone."

They are not "bath salts."

I am sick and tired of articles that talk about "bath salts" without ever using the drugs' actual names. It would be like an article on heroin that only uses the word "smack," or an article about "crank" instead of about "methamphetamines."

There is enough confusion about what actual bath salts are versus the drug "bath salts" that it is stupid to use only the slang term.

That is all.
