MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Concerned with chemists changing the
formula of illegal synthetic marijuana to get around Alabama law,
two state senators have crafted bills to thwart rogue producers of
those designer drugs.
Products with names like "Spice" and "K2" are marketed as
potpourri or incense, but produce a marijuana-like high when
consumed. Though they're illegal in Alabama, some states have seen
producers change their chemical formula to avoid laws banning
specific substances.
Legislation from Sens. Arthur Orr, a Republican, and Marc
Keahey, a Democrat, would outlaw any substance that has
psychoactive effects similar to marijuana.
Orr says his bill goes above an executive order issued by Gov.
Robert Bentley last fall to remove the products from shelves. He
says it would prevent companies from coming up with any new types
of synthetic marijuana.
