Description
Penalties for possession, sale, gift, distribution or possession with intent to sell, give or distribute synthetic marijuana. Creates a new category for "synthetic marijuana" as a series of controlled substances listed in Schedule 1 ( 54.1-3446) of the Drug Control Act ( 54.1-3400 et seq.). Notwithstanding the provisions regarding punishment for possession and distribution of controlled substances listed in Schedule 1, punishment for possession and distribution of synthetic marijuana is largely in accord with the provisions for actual marijuana.

Comments
This guy knows nothing about what he wrote this bill for, K2 and all that other crap is not sold as marijuana, it's sold as air freshner, and does not fall under controlled anything. Next the druggies will sell it on carrots, will you then out law carrots. Not shocked america lost the war on drugs with your kind of bills.
Stephen, it is you who does not understand this bill, not its sponsor, a 20-year veteran of the General Assembly. (Let's all pause to pretend to be surprised.) The purpose of the bill is to cause it to be classified as a controlled substance. It doesn't matter if it's sold as cat food—it's prohibited if it contains 2-(3-hydroxycyclohexyl)-5-(2-methyloctan-2-yl)phenol, 2-(3-hydroxycyclohexyl)-5-(2-methylheptan-2-yl)phenol, 2-(3-hydroxycyclohexyl)-5-(2-methylnonan-2-yl)phenol, 2-(3-hydroxycyclohexyl)-5-(2-methyldecan-2-yl)phenol, 1-pentyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole, 1-butyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole, 1-pentyl-3-(2-methoxyphenylacetyl)indole, 1-hexyl-3-(naphthalen-1-oyl)indole, or (6aR,10aR)-9-(hydroxymethyl)-6,6-dimethyl-3-(2-methyloctan-2-yl)-6a,7,10,10a-tetrahydrobenzo[c]chromen-1-ol. And that covers K2, etc.
Please, pause in your ceaseless and almost uniformly useless ten-word critiques of legislation to actually read a few words in the summary, if not the text of the bill itself. You might learn something.
Thank you waldo, and yes I will be ceaseless, I always look forward to your put downs, everyone likes a joke.
