SYNTHETIC POT, BATH SALTS ON WAY OUT IN PALM COAST
Palm Coast is forging ahead with an ordinance to prohibit the sale of
synthetic marijuana masquerading as herbal incense and is also taking
a bead on chemically tainted bath salts.
City Manager Jim Landon said that the city's research showed that
other communities had banned bath salts as well as synthetic
marijuana. Both products circumvent existing laws against illicit
drugs but contain hazardous chemicals.
"I have been told from our local law enforcement in our schools that
( bath salts ) are not a problem here yet," Landon said in a phone
interview on Friday. "But because they are very similar in their
effects and there's nothing prohibiting them from being sold for these
inappropriate uses for young people, we chose to add that as a
proposal to address both items in one ordinance."
