[Amended 3-15-2011 by Ord. No. 1077A]
A. Preamble.
(1) The City Council of the City of Lake Mills has determined that herbal
preparations powdered or sprayed with a synthetic chemical cannabinoid
are available for sale in the area which are claimed to produce intoxicating
effects similar to THC or marijuana;
(2) While the substances are not yet categorized as illegal controlled
substances under Wisconsin or federal law, several countries, states,
and municipalities have already taken action to prohibit these substances
due to overdoses and other negative health concerns;
(3) While these synthetic cannabinoid substances are often marketed as
benign and legal alternatives to marijuana, they are potentially dangerous
to users because the substances can create potency from 3 to 100 times
greater than marijuana, can produce severe adverse health conditions,
such as hallucinations, paranoia, increased agitation, heart palpitations,
seizures, and vomiting, based on emergency room experiences in areas
of the country where use is more prevalent;
(4) The Drug Enforcement Administration has determined that K2/Spice
HU-210, CP 47, 497 and homologues, JWH-018 and JWH-073 do not have
an approved medical use in the United States and are presently listed
as "drugs of concern" by the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration;
and
(5) Because the long-term health effects of the use of these substances
is not yet known, the City Council has determined to address the growing
threat of synthetic cannabinoids to the health, safety and welfare
of its citizens by enacting these prohibitions.
B. Synthetic cannabinoid prohibited.
