Crackdown on 'legal high' cannabis substitutes - New Zealand
    #14205456 - 03/29/11 07:19 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/4827138/Crackdown-on-legal-high-cannabis-substitutes

The Government is to ban the sale of "legal highs" which mimic the effects of cannabis to under 18s.

Associate Health Minister Peter Dunne said controls are to be tightened around the selling of synthetic cannabinoid substances.

Smoking products such as "Spice", "Kronic", "Aroma" and "Dream" are bought from 'party pill' outlets, online retailers and even some dairies and convenience stores.

Known widely as 'herbal smoking blends' or 'legal highs' they contain vegetable matter treated with synthetic cannbinomimetic substances. When smoked they give psychoactive effects just like those from cannabis.

Dunne said Expert Advisory Committee on Drugs (EACD) recommended restricting all synthetic substances with cannabinomimetic effects under the Misuse of Drugs Amendment Act 2005.

"I have accepted the committee's advice on this."

The committee said it is "unacceptable" for products containing the substances to be widely available without controls on packaging, marketing and sale, Dunne said. "And I fully agree."

An amendment act, which allows hazardous substances to also be classified as restricted substances must now be passed. This is currently before Parliament awaiting its second reading.

"I have instructed the Ministry of Health to begin the process of putting the necessary controls in place. I expect these changes to come into effect next year," he said.

"In the meantime, I am putting traders in these products on notice that it is irresponsible to market, sell or offer to sell to anyone under the age of 18. "

That is perfectly fine. As long as it stays legal for over 18's.

I'm with this. I don't trust those synthetic cannabinoids as far as I can lassoo a bird with a turd.

All they have on them is "Incense only", completely removing liability for any smoking effects whatsoever from them - in this situation they don't need to give warnings or anything.

The sale of this synthetic shit calls for responsible evaluation of the natural shit's situation.
