I don't think anyone doubts that Governor Mark Dayton will sign this bill. Synthetic drugs have been targeted for awhile and I think this type of legislation will become standard. They key to this bill is that new chemicals can be added to the bill over time, so as new synthetics get created, they can quickly become illegal to sell. That means places like Duluth's Last Place On Earth may find it difficult to work around this bill and sell synthetics.
