Abstract
⺠Bath salts are emerging drugs of abuse that contain both legal and illegal cathinones. ⺠Effects of synthetic cathinones found in bath salts were compared to cocaine and methamphetamine. ⺠All cathinones produced typical stimulant-induced increases in locomotor activity. ⺠Some cathinones produced more behaviorally toxic effects than classic stimulants of abuse. ⺠Individual synthetic cathinones differ in their profile of effects, and differ from known stimulants of abuse.
