U. S. Government Set To Make Two New Drugs Illegal

Despite the obvious and incomprehensibly expensive failure of the war on drugs, the United States government continues to expend time, resources and of course, money into making more and more drugs illegal. This time, the targets of the government are synthetic stimulants, or “bath salts”, and synthetic marijuana, or “fake pot.” The vote in the House of Representatives could happen any time, and the new bill making the two substances illegal is expected to pass without a problem. The new law would allow up to 20 years in prison for people who distribute small quantities of the bath salts or fake pot. In addition to the upcoming federal ban, many states, including Florida, have enacted similar laws making bath salts and fake pot illegal.
