“The public and especially our youth should not be fooled by the fancy names and deceptive packaging of synthetic drugs. These products are not safe for use, they are illegal and they place lives in danger. Even still, manufacturers and retailers continue to aggressively target and endanger our youth with the sale of these illicit drugs.
Today, with the announcement that he is suing stores that sell “designer drugs”, Attorney General Schneiderman has made clear his steadfast commitment to rid New York of these dangerous products. I applaud the Attorney General’s efforts and support all action to eradicate these substances throughout New York State. I stand ready to join him in his efforts here in New York City. “
