The best answer is NO. When the media refers to "designer drugs" they are usually referring to let's say "bath salts" and that term is just made up. Bath salts almost always contain a cathinone such as MDVP or Mephedrone. And though though those would be RC's they are not always what "bath salts" are. So in a way the answer is yes Bottom line is we don't really give a fuck what the media says. On here they are RC's. Because in the real world they are RC's too. If you are on SR to get "bath salts" your a jackass. But if you are getting RC's...all good. (no offense to anyone getting bath salts..if that is what YOU want..do it!!) I hope that shitty answer does not confuse you more:)
