Why didn't he ask if Himalayan salt is legal to sell? in metric tons?
Before he started his business venture in a blazing fashion
Himalayan salt is rock salt.
Literally, it's the same stuff you get on your fries.
Sodium chloride.
It's perfectly legal to import, buy, sell, distribute, share with friends, inject, inhale, insufflate, smoke or rectally administer.
The problem is that he didn't buy "Himalayan Salt". He bought Methylone, a psychoactive drug.
(Methylone is incidentally fairly harmless, I'm not sure why people are speaking as if it's deadly - there's tons of different "bath salts" and they all do different things. The media ignorantly lumps them all together and releases horror stories of people out of their mind taking them. The stories are akin to me saying "yeah he took a load of drugs and then killed her", and you then concluding that aspirin will cause someone to kill people too, because it's also a drug.
Methylone's behaviour profile is fairly similar to MDMA, which is as likely to kill you as
riding a horse. It's not addictive, like Meth, Heroin, Nicotine or Cocaine. It is a scheduled substance though, and so it is illegal to import, possess or sell. )
