Huntington City Council Considers Ban Of Synthetic Marijuana
WEST VIRGINIA....
Huntington's City Council is considering banning sales of synthetic marijuana and is considering a similar move against synthetic cocaine. A federal ban on five chemicals use to make synthetic marijuana goes into effect for at least one year starting Christmas Day. The products consist of plant material coated with chemicals that mimic the active ingredient in marijuana. The federal Drug Enforcement Agency says the chemicals have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and there is no oversight of the manufacturing process.
