What Are The Side Effects Of Bath Salt Drugs?

my boyfriend just started snorting downzearth white horse concentrated bath salts, I told him that it wasn't good. He has heart issues and thyroid issues, could you please give me the side effects so I can tell him what will happen to him. He said he only did it one time, but I want to know what other than to tell him the drugs or me. He is 50 years old

yeah, it's bad. But the risks are fairly immediate. It is a heart stimulant and several fatal heart complictions have occurred from the use of bath salts. It raises blood pressure, pulse and can trigger arrhythmia. But only when it is present and not after it is gone.
