Is the "world" just stupid?

My wife just turned me on to the newest "stupid" thing to be enacted by politicians in this country, particularly the state of Indiana. Starting July 1st, it will be illegal to possess or sell "bath salts" in the state of Indiana. Yes, bath salts.

Here's the deal, there is apparently a new designer drug being sold "legally" in corner shops, truck stops and online that is being advertised as "bath salts". Now, this "drug" is not the same composition or chemical likeness of the bath salts that you would buy at Walmart, or Bed Bath & Beyond, which you actually use in the bathtub. But thanks to the knee jerk reactions of politicians, anything that is called "bath salts" are going to be illegal starting July 1st in the state of Indiana.

So does this mean that if I create a designer drug and start marketing it under the name "poop", that they'll pass a law outlawing all poop, and anyone caught manufacturing poop will be arrested?

There is no end to the insanity in this world....
