Morphology
A B1 learner knowing 'bath' and 'salt' would naturally interpret 'bath salts' as salts used for bathing (e.g., Epsom salts), because the compound is compositionally transparent in its literal sense. The drug meaning is a specialized, euphemistic/slang usage that cannot be predicted from the constituents and requires specific cultural/lexical knowledge, so the expression is opaque for such learners.
Etymology
Bath salts are small scented crystals people add to hot water when they take a bath to relax and make their skin feel soft. That's why the name means a product you put in the bath to help you relax.
