Washington, D.C. - President Obama's signature on Monday will ban the sale of bath salts and forms of synthetic marijuana and hallucinogens.
New York Senator Chuck Schumer had pushed for the measure, known as the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act.
"This law will close loopholes that have allowed manufacturers to circumvent local and state bans and ensure that you cannot simply cross state lines to find these deadly bath salts, and I'm pleased that after a great deal of effort, it has become law, Schumer said.”We have seen bath salts catalyze some of the most heinous crimes in recent months across Upstate New York, and the President's signature ensures that the federal government can fight this scourge with a united front, across state lines and at our borders."
