Welcome to

Synthetic drugs known as Bath Salts are officially illegal in Florida today.

Governor Rick Scott signed a bill banning the synthetic drugs that have been compared to cocaine and PCP in Panama City today. The drugs were temporarily outlawed by an emergency order issued by Florida�s Attorney General earlier this year. Scott says the drugs were creating major problems for police officers.

�People were using this as a way to use drugs and it�s caused a lot of problems, so Attorney General Bondi, did an executive order in January and now we have great legislation that�s going to outlaw that,� said Scott.

Scott also signed a bill today requiring drug tests for people receiving temporary cash assistance from the state.
