That's like banning bananas because some kids think the peels can be smoked. But I guess it's irrelevant that it doesn't do anything. Kids can buy bananas, therefore, we need to destroy ALL bananas. LOL

"I think it's very dangerous," said Karina Forrest-Perkins, chief operating officer of Gateway to Prevention and Recovery in Shawnee, Okla. While there are no known neurological effects from digital drugs, they encourage kids to pursue mood-altering substances, she said. "
