(MPRN-Lansing) The sale or possession of powdered alcohol will soon be outlawed in Michigan, with exceptions for hospitals and researchers at universities.
Lieutenant Governor Brian Calley signed the bill this morning because Governor Rick Snyder was in Canada Wednesday. The federal government approved powdered alcohol for the marketplace last year, but states also regulate the sale of alcohol.
Supporters of the ban say powdered alcohol could be easily used by minors to spike soft drinks. The ban will take effect in 90 days.
