C.
Does not include any products that have been approved for medical
use by the United States Food and Drug Administration.
SYNTHETIC CANNABINOID ANALOG
Any chemical that is substantially similar in chemical structure
to a chemical compound that has been determined to have binding activity
at one or more cannabinoid receptors. It does not include any products
that have been approved for medical use by the United States Food
and Drug Administration.
Except as otherwise authorized by law, it shall be unlawful
for any person to:
A. Possess or sell any synthetic cannabinoid or synthetic cannabinoid analog, as defined in §
99-2.
B. Operate a motor vehicle on the public highways of the County of Sullivan, as those terms are defined in the Vehicle and Traffic Law, Article 31, while under the influence of a synthetic cannabinoid or synthetic cannabinoid analog, as defined in §
99-2. A person is deemed to be operating a vehicle while under the influence of synthetic cannabinoids when the consumption of such substances impairs, to any extent, the physical and mental abilities which such person is expected to possess in order to operate a vehicle as a reasonable and prudent driver. All of the provisions of the Vehicle and Traffic Law with respect to arrest and testing and chemical test evidence shall apply to any such case brought under this subsection.
