Another State Passes a Ban

Straight from the Denver Channel website, it seems another "legal high" ban has been passed. This is good news for the chemical dependency counseling because legal highs have been the death of over 4,000 people last year. 

 

Selling or manufacturing synthetic drugs known as "bath salts" would be illegal in Colorado under a bill in consideration at the state Legislature.

Lawmakers will hear a proposal Tuesday that would make it a felony with a civil penalty of up to $500,000 for distributing or manufacturing cathinones. The chemicals mimic the effects of powerful drugs such as cocaine.Several states nationwide are taking up the issue. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed legislation last week to ban bath salts.

 

Last year, Colorado lawmakers passed a bill to ban chemicals used to produce synthetic marijuana, often called Spice or K2.

Read Senate Bill 116."
