House Lawmakers Vote In Favor Of Federal Legislation Outlawing So-Called 'Synthetic Cannabis'

House Lawmakers Vote In Favor Of Federal Legislation Outlawing So-Called 'Synthetic Cannabis': "Thursday, 15 December 2011

Washington, DC: Members of the US Congress, House of Representatives voted 317 to 98 last week in support of HR 1254, the Synthetic Drug Control Act. The act criminalizes the possession or use of "any substance that is a cannabinoid receptor type 1 agonist" by classifying all such substances as Schedule I prohibited drugs under federal law "unless [the substance is] specifically exempted or ... listed in another schedule."

If passed, the measure would prohibit under federal law the possession and sale of chemical agents contained in so-called 'fake' herbal marijuana products, commonly sold over-the-counter under the brand names 'K2' and 'Spice.'"
