Use Of Synthetic Marijuana Referred To Public Safety Committee
WEST VIRGINIA....
When Huntington City Councilman Scott Caserta talked to kids who were using what he vaguely knew of as herbal incense, he said the kids replied, "No, that's legal marijuana." When he learned that the Cabell County School Board hiked the K2 or Wildfire possession penalty from tobacco like to possible expulsion, Caserta drafted an ordinance that would prohibit the sale of the synthetic cannabis product to minors. Secret Pleasures and most Huntington shops already will not sell synthetic marijuana to minors, although they explain the leafy chemically treated substance is legally sold for incensing, not smoking. State Senator Evan Jenkins, D-Cabell, says he'll introduce legislation in January that would possibly ban the herbal product altogether in West Virginia. Caserta says, while several legislators have talked about filing a bill to ban synthetic marijuana statewide, it couldn't happen before summer. Monday night, Huntington City Council members referred the matter to the Public Safety Committee.
