Synthetic Pot Banned in Georgia

The measure will act as a "stop gap" until the Georgia Legislature can make the drugs illegal.

The Georgia State Board of Pharmacy have banned a new synthetic pot that was created to get around a state law adopted in April, reports 11Alive.

In order to sell the drug, manufacturers had created a new chemical formula after the law went into place.
