STATEMENT
This bill would add three chemical compounds, HU-210, JWH-018 and JWH-073 to the list of prohibited schedule I drugs. These substances have been mixed with plant based products and marketed as synthetic marijuana, "Spice" or "K2." Some users have reported that products containing these substances have effects similar to the effects of cannabis.
The most severe controlled substance penalties involve drugs listed in schedule I. Schedule I drugs have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use, and include heroin, LSD.
