An FDA ban on the sale or possession of synthetic marijuana, so-called bath salts and salvia is now the law in Pennsylvania.
The law took effect Monday, two months after Gov. Tom Corbett signed a bill imposing the new restrictions.
Possession carries up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine, while selling the substances could result in five years and a $15,000 fine.
Bath salts have been linked to cases of erratic or violent behavior, and until Monday were openly available at retail stores in Pennsylvania.
Supporters of the new law say Pennsylvania's the 21st state to enact such a ban.
