Bath salts were synthetic cathinones. Sold online as plant food and bath salts because they were not for human consumption ;) And then they started getting sold in head shops and gas stations. Some are highly addictive, some are more benign. Methylone was a great cheap MDMA alternative and is one of the drugs that Trump signed an executive order to fast track studying for PTSD.

As a guy posting on a nerd message board, you'd probably enjoy the nerdiness of the guys on Bluelight and places like that getting money together to have Chinese labs synthesize the chemicals they theorized would get em high.
