HARRISBURG, Pa. - Pennsylvania legislators overwhelmingly approved a bill that prohibits the sale of "bath salts" and fake pot, the Examiner reports. A spokesman for Gov. Tom Corbett said the governor would sign the measure.

The so-called "bath salts" contain methylenedioxypyrovalerone, which produces hallucinations and dangerous behavior if ingested, smoked or injected. "Across the commonwealth we have seen horror stories resulting from individuals ingesting bath salts," said Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico. "This will give police the tools they need to ensure kids and others are not using this substance."

The growing prevalence of these "bath salts" is harming sales of the legitimate versions of the salts. Pennsylvania joins Florida, Louisiana, Minnesota and North Dakota in banning the sale of "bath salts."

Earlier this year, Colorado is considering banning the sale of products with marijuana, even if the products have been cleared for medical use. Also of concern for law enforcement and government officials are the sale of relaxation bakery products that contain melatonin.
