Ban K2/Spice in Sanilac County, Michigan

Synthetic cannabinoids have recently been linked to several high-profile criminal cases in Michigan. When ingested, the substances reportedly have effects similar to marijuana and can currently be purchased at gas stations, tobacco shops, and on the Internet.

Synthetic cannabis/marijuana is a growing and rampant problem in this country. In Michigan during the month of May, a man beat his father to death and put his brother and mother in critical condition while trying to get more money for synthetic cannabis. A grandmother shot her grandson due to his violent behavior that was a byproduct of synthetic cannabis intoxication. An 18 year old boy overdosed and was found dead on a beach less than a quarter mile from his home after smoking synthetic cannabis.

Sanilac County has seen a major increase in its consumption and the health ramifications due to it. The frequencies of problems caused by a multitude of synthetic cannabis products have been increasing rapidly. Drug designers change the molecular structure of it each time a law is passed to ban the previous chemical composition.

We must move to outlaw and ban all forms of synthetic cannabis.
