That same ban was proposed in 2009, though it didn't pass. Other proposals, including Republican state Representative Michelle Ugenti's bill to ban salvia possession outright, which she introduced in 2011.

Now, Democratic state Representatives Eric Meyer and Bruce Wheeler are proposing the ban on sales to people under the age of 21 again in House Bill 2424, which is a regulation that was also proposed just last year, and in legislative sessions before that.
