A. 
Purpose; background.
(1) 
Background - synthetic cannabinoid. Products that are commonly known as synthetic cannabinoid, marijuana containing synthetic cannabinoids, synthetic THC, or substantially similar chemicals or products often in the form of incense, potpourri, plant food, spice, special dietary supplements or herbal smoking blends, are commonly marketed or sold to the public under names such as, but not limited to: "K2," "K3" or "K4"; "K-2 Summit"; "K-2 Sex"; "Spice"; "Genie"; "Yucatan Fire"; "Dascents"; "Zohal"; "Sage"; "Pep Spice"; "Solar Flare"; "K.O. Knock-Out 2"; "Spice Gold"; "Spice Diamond"; "Spice Cannabinoid"; and "Fire and Ice."
(2) 
Background - synthetic drugs. Like the marketing of synthetic cannabinoids as incense (such as, but not limited to, Spice or K2), synthetic drugs are also commercially available, and in some instances are marketed, as bath salts under such names as "Bliss," "Vanilla Sky," "White Lightning," "Ivory Snow," "Ivory Wave," "Purple Wave," "Red Dove," "Hurricane Charlie" or other names, or are packaged or marketed as potpourri, incense, plant food, spice, tobacco, or dietary supplements.
(3) 
Scientific background. The Village Board finds that the United States Drug Enforcement Agency in 2008 alerted law enforcement and public officials that synthetic cannabinoid products are structurally and pharmacologically similar to the active ingredient of marijuana (THC), a Schedule 1 controlled substance. While there are hundreds of synthetic compounds and their analogs, some are more common synthetic cannabinoids and synthetic drugs include, but are not limited to:
(a) 
Salviadivinorum or salvinorum A. All parts of the plant presently classified botanically as salvia divinorum.
(b) 
JWH-018. [1-Pentyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)] indole is an analgesic chemical from the naphthoylindole family, which acts as a full agonist at both the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors, with some selectivity for CB2. It produces effects in animals similar to those of THC, a cannabinoid naturally present in cannabis, leading to its use in synthetic cannabis.
(c) 
JWH-073. 1-butyl-3-(1 naphthoyl) indole is an analgesic chemical from the naphthoylindole family, which acts as a partial agonist at both the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors. It is somewhat selective for the CB2 subtype with affinity at this subtype approximately 5x the affinity at CB1. The abbreviation JWH stands for John W. Huffman, one of the inventors of the compound.
(d) 
JWH-200. 1-[2-4(4-morpholinyl)ethyl]-3-(1-naphthoyl) indole is an analgesic chemical from the phenylacetylindole family, which acts as a cannabinoid agonist at both the CB1 and CB2 receptors, with a Ki of 11nM at CB1 and 33nM at CB2. Unlike many of the older JWH series of compounds, this compound does not have a naphthalene ring, instead occupying this position with a 2-methoxyphenyl group making JWH-250 a representative member of a new class of cannabinoid ligands.
(e) 
CP 47, 497. 2-(3-hydroxycyclohexyl)-5-(2-methylocatan-2-yl) phenol [some trade and other names: CP-47, 497] and 2-(3-hydroxyclohexyl)-5-(2 methylnonan-2-yl) phenol [some trade names and other names: CP-47, 497, C8 homologue, cannabicyclohexanol] is a cannabinoid receptor agonist drug, developed by Prizer in the 1980s. It has analgesic effects and is used in scientific research. It is a potent CB1 agonist with a Kd of 2.1nM.
(f) 
JWH-081. 4-methoxynaphthalen-1-yl-(1-pentylindol-3-yl) methanone is an analgesic chemical from the naphthoylindole family, which acts as a cannabinoid agonist at both the CB1 and CB2 receptors. It is fairly selective for the CB1 subtype, with affinity at this subtype approximately 10x the affinity at CB2.
(g) 
JWH-250. (1-pentyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-2-(2methoxyphenyl)-ethanone is an analgesic chemical from the phenylacetylindole family, which acts as a cannabinoid agonist at both the CB1 and CB2 receptors, with a Ki of 11nM at CB2. Unlike many of the older JWH series compounds, this compound does not have a naphalene ring, instead occupying this position with a 2-methoxyphenyphenylacetyl group making JWH-250 a representative member of a new class of cannabinoid ligands.
(h) 
HU-210. (6aR, 10aR)-9-(hydroxymethyl)-6,6-dimethyl-3-(2methyloctan-2-yl)6a, 7,10, 10a-tetrahydrobenzo[c] chromen-1-o1 is structurally and pharmacologically similar to tettrahydrocannabinol.
(4) 
Federal health and law enforcement warning. The Village Board notes that the National Drug Intelligence Center of the United States Department of Justice issued an immediate alert to law enforcement and public health officials of potential substance abuse problems and harmful side effects related to the use of these synthetic cannabinoid products in EWS 000006 dated May 18, 2010.
(5) 
Statutory status. The Village Board finds that while these synthetic cannabinoids and synthetic drugs listed above may be prohibited controlled substance analogs under Chapter 961, Wis. Stats., the State of Wisconsin may not specifically list all varieties of synthetic cannabinoids and synthetic drugs as controlled substances in Chapter 961, Wis. Stats.
