Frankfort, KY – The Kentucky Senate has voted to criminalize a new synthetic drug marketed as "bath salts." Officials say the powders can cause dangerous reactions. The measure would ban the sale or possession of bath salts. The chemicals are sold under such brand names as "Ivory Wave" or "Purple Wave." The bill heads back to the House to consider Senate changes. The substance can cause delusional behavior, confusion, paranoia, and violent behavior. Some counties, including Ballard, already have banned the salts.
