A recently released public service announcement aims to show how terrifying taking "bath salts" can be.

The PSA comes from Navy Medicine, which last year released an ad to deter service members from using synthetic marijuana.

Bath salts are a class of designer drugs that contain chemical stimulants that affect the central nervous system, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Potential side effects include reports of agitation, insomnia, irritability, depression, paranoia, delusions, suicidal thoughts, seizures and panic attacks.
