A state law takes effect tomorrow banning the sale, use and possession of synthetic recreational drugs marketed as bath salts, K2 or spice.

Ohio retailers will no longer be able to sell synthetic recreational drugs marketed as bath salts

Up to this point these designer drugs have been sold legally in convenience stores, tobacco shops and other businesses.

Dave Burke, state senator and  joint sponsor of the legislation, who also is a pharmacist, said the substances have been known to cause reactions including hallucinations, paranoia, severe agitation and seizures, and that bath salts reportedly have been linked to deaths in Ohio and elsewhere.
