OBN Targets Sale Of Synthetic Drugs Several new laws took ef- fect Tuesday, Nov. 1, including a measure that targets synthetic drugs. Mark Woodward, Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics spokes- man, said manufacturers have flooded the market over the past few years with synthetic products that mimic actual street drugs, like marijuana and cocaine. These products include brand names such as K2, Spice and Ivory Wave. Woodward said these prod- ucts are unregulated but just as dangerous or deadly as street drugs. “Since 2008, we have seen dozens of synthetic drugs be- ing sold in convenience stores and novelty shops as herbal incense or bath salts,” he said. “But young adults know the true nature of these products. They are smoked or snorted to produce a euphoric high as strong or stronger than mari- juana or cocaine.” Woodward said his agency has seen a dramatic increase over the past several years of hospital visits, and even some deaths, associated with these synthetic drugs. Many teenagers think these products are safe alternatives to street drugs, because they are sold legally in local conve- nience stores, he continued. Senate Bill 919 outlaws ap- proximately 250 different syn- thetic chemicals found in these fake herbal incense or bath salts products. OBN Director Darrell Weaver said his agency will be making spot inspections at stores throughout Oklahoma and will aggressively target any store owner, employee or wholesaler who continues to sell or distribute these products in Oklahoma. “These synthetic products are very dangerous and do nothing but harm Oklahoma citizens,” Weaver said. “We must be vigilant in recognizing and taking proactive, decisive action to combat such harmful products.” As of Nov. 1, the synthetic chemicals listed in SB 919 are now Schedule I illegal sub- stances, and possession or sales of these products can result in felony charges and a prison term of one to 10 years.
