The Times Leader:
The state House of Representatives on Monday voted unanimously for a bill that would ban chemicals in
bath salts,
salvia divinorum and
synthetic marijuana.
Concentrated bath salts contain a chemical known as MDPV, which can mimic the effects of cocaine and methamphetamine. Police throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania have said in recent weeks that crime by users high on the now-legal substance is on the increase.
MDPV has been banned in Louisiana and Florida.
The bill would ban salvia divinorum, a psychoactive drug that can produce hallucinations, and prohibit the sale of synthetic marijuana.
Lawmakers voted 195-0 in favor of the measure.
