Brett's law is a name commonly given to a Delaware statute (SB259) generally prohibiting use of the psychoactive herb Salvia divinorum. The law was named after Brett Chidester (September 16, 1988 – January 23, 2006), a teenager who committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning (by lighting a charcoal grill inside a closed tent).
