HCS/HB 641 - This act adds to the list of schedule I controlled substances several forms of stimulants, including "bath salts," and hallucinogenic synthetic cannabinoids. A definition of synthetic cannabinoids is also added to the Comprehensive Drug Control Act of 1989. Current law provides that an analogue of a controlled substance intended for human consumption shall be treated as a schedule I controlled substance. Under this act, an analogue or homologue of any schedule I controlled substance shall be treated as a schedule I controlled substance. This act makes it a Class A misdemeanor to possess 35 grams or less of any synthetic cannabinoid and a Class C felony to possess more than 35 grams. Cocaine base is added to the types of controlled substances, which, when delivered or distributed near a park by a person, make the act a Class A felony. Under current law, no person shall intentionally or willfully induce the symptoms of intoxication by the use or abuse of certain specified substances. This act provides that no person shall induce intoxication by the use or abuse of any substance not approved for human consumption by the Food and Drug Administration. MEGHAN LUECKE
