Seward Pushes for Bath Salt Ban

State Senator Jim Seward has issued an email letting the constituents of the 51st Senate District know that he is pushing for a ban on controversial bath salts. The salts, which garnered national attention after a man had his face bitten off in Florida by another hopped up on them, are on the New York law docket. Seward writes in part:

The new law adds more chemical compounds—the type of compounds used to make these bath salt drugs—to the state's banned substances list. It imposes criminal penalties on those who sell, use and/or possess these drugs, and also makes it a felony to sell the substances to a minor or on school grounds.
