SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Penalties for possession, sale, gift, or distribution of or possession with intent to sell, give, or distribute synthetic cannabinoids. Creates a new category for "synthetic cannabinoids" as a series of controlled substances listed in Schedule I (§ 54.1-3446) of the Drug Control Act (§ 54.1-3400 et seq.). Notwithstanding the provisions regarding punishment for possession and distribution of controlled substances listed in Schedule I, punishment for possession and distribution of synthetic cannabinoids is largely in accord with the provisions for actual marijuana. However, except where synthetic cannabinoids is specifically exempted, it will fall under provisions in the Virginia Code that refer to controlled substances. The bill has an emergency clause. This bill has been incorporated into SB 745.
