{West Virginia}...Jason Vance of Ranger, in Lincoln County, has filed a lawsuit against K&B Quick Stop in Harts, L T Jones Tobacco Plus in Harts, Smokin' Joes's Arcade in Barboursville, and Bebe's I and II in Madison, asking the courts to hold the retailers, who sold synthetic cocaine under the guise of bath salts, responsible for the effects or damage the substances may have caused users. Vance admitted that, between January and April of this year, he bought products labeled bath salts that actually were synthetic cocaine containing chemicals that were banned by a state law enacted in April. Robby Long, Vance's attorney, says retailers in Lincoln, Boone and Cabell counties have been selling this material that's very harmful to the users without warning them of what could happen to them, and retailers who sold them should be held accountable.
