A. 
Purpose and Intent. The Harrisonville Board of Aldermen finds and declares that the products and synthetic substances described hereunder are commonly used as alternatives to amphetamines, cocaine, ecstasy and other illegal drugs. The Board of Aldermen further finds that these synthetic substances are particularly appealing to teenagers and youth, who believe these substances are safer because they are legal, however, these synthetic substances can be dangerous to users in the short term and the long-term effects are not yet known. The Board of Aldermen finds that the products which contain these synthetic substances often use a disclaimer that the product is "not for human consumption" to avoid regulations that require the manufacturer to list the product's active ingredients. The Board of Aldermen finds that drug designers and chemists have and can quickly create new synthetic drugs once federal or state law makes a particular synthetic drug illegal. As such, the Board of Aldermen finds there is a need to declare illegal the sale, offer for sale, purchase with intent to sell and public display for sale of synthetic substances that mimic illegal controlled substances, even though such synthetic substances have not yet themselves been categorized as illegal controlled substances under federal or state law. The Board of Aldermen further finds that it is proper and necessary for the Board of Aldermen to exercise its authority to safeguard and protect the public health, safety and welfare by taking this action.
B.

SYNTHETIC STIMULANT BATH SALTS
Any substance, whether in powder, crystal, liquid, tablet or capsule form, containing a synthetic stimulant as defined herein or to which a synthetic stimulant has been added or applied, that can be ingested by smoking, inhaling or other method, regardless of whether the substance is marketed not for the purpose of human consumption, and regardless of how the substance is labeled, including but not limited to bath salts, insect repellant, plant food, herbs, incense, iPod cleaner, nutrient, dietary supplement or spice.
SYNTHETIC STIMULANT
Any chemical or mixture of chemicals, however packaged, that has a stimulant effect on the central nervous system and is structurally similar to cathinone, methcathinone, amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine, MDMA or any other substance listed in the definition of "structurally similar" above, or related salts, isomers, and salts of isomers, as listed in the controlled substance schedules in Chapter 195, Revised Statutes of Missouri, or otherwise prohibited by federal or state law. "Synthetic stimulant" shall also include any chemical or mixture of chemicals, however packaged, that mimics the pharmacological effects of cathinone, methcathinone, amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine, MDMA or any other substance listed in the definition of "structurally similar" above, or related salts, isomers, and salts of isomers. Packaging that indicates, suggests or implies that a product mimics the pharmacological effects of cathinone, methcathinone, amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine, ecstasy or any other substance listed in the definition of "structurally similar" above, shall create a presumption that the product mimics the effects of the substance. "Synthetic stimulant" shall not include any substance currently listed in the controlled substance schedules in chapter 195, Revised Statutes of Missouri, or otherwise prohibited by federal or state law, as such may be amended from time to time.
C. 
Unlawful To Sell, Offer, Gift Or Display. It shall be unlawful for any person, business, store, or employee to sell, offer to sell, gift, barter, trade or publicly display for sale any synthetic stimulant bath salts as defined herein or any synthetic stimulants as defined herein.
D. 
Possession Unlawful. It is unlawful for any person to knowingly possess, inhale or ingest any synthetic stimulant bath salts as defined herein or any synthetic stimulants as defined herein.
E. 
If Congress, a federal agency, the Missouri General Assembly or Missouri agency with such authority amends federal or state law to include a particular substance or otherwise enacts or amends a federal or state law providing for criminal penalties for the prohibitions of substances set forth in this Section, then upon the effective date of such enactment or amendment, the provisions of this Section addressed by federal or state law shall no longer be deemed effective. Any violations of this Section committed prior to such law so enacted may be prosecuted.
F. 
Seizure And Destruction Of Synthetic Stimulant Bath Salts And Synthetic Stimulants. Synthetic stimulant bath salts and synthetic stimulants as defined and prohibited herein, may be seized by law enforcement officers and may be destroyed in the same manner used to destroy narcotics and contraband substances, after its use for evidentiary purposes in any judicial proceeding is no longer required.
G. 
Marketing. Synthetic drugs are rarely, if ever, suitable for their marketed uses. For example, a synthetic drug in the form of a powder might be marketed as "glass cleaner," even though the powder cannot reasonably be used to clean glass.
H. 
Sales Location. Synthetic drugs are typically sold in liquor stores, some shops and gas stations, yet synthetic drugs are marketed as products that are not typically sold by these businesses. For example, synthetic drugs are often marketed as bath salts, spice, incense, potpourri, skin treatments, cleaning products and plant food; however, these types of products are typically not sold in liquor stores, smoke shops or gas stations.
I. 
Warning Labels. Synthetic drugs often use warning labels such as "not for human consumption" and "not for purchase by minors." Bona fide bath salts, incense, cleaning products and the like do not typically bear such labels. Of particular relevance are labels that indicate a given product does not contain chemical compounds banned by State synthetic drug laws, which bona fide bath salts, incense, cleaning products and the like would not have any reason to advertise.
J. 
Price. Synthetic drugs are typically more expensive than products that are used for the synthetic drug's marketed use. For example, a synthetic drug marked as "glass cleaner" might be priced at fifty dollars ($50.00) for one-eighth (1/8) of an ounce, while bona fide glass cleaner is priced at approximately five dollars ($5.00) for twenty-six (26) ounces.
K. 
(Reserved)
L. 
Similarity To Illicit Street Drugs. Synthetic drugs often resemble illicit street drugs and/or use brand names and packaging that are designed to make the product appear similar to illicit street drugs. For example, many synthetic drugs are sold as white powders packaged in vials (resembling cocaine) or dyed green to appear similar to marijuana. Additionally, brand names are often similar to street slang for illicit drugs and have no relation to the products that are purportedly being sold. These brand names are always changing, but include "Eight Ballz," "Spice," "Black Mamba," "K-2," "Puff," "Sugar Sticks," "Green Buddha," "Diablo Botanical Incense," "Mr. and Mrs. Marley," "Cloud 9 Incense," and a group of synthetic drugs marked as from "The Spice Guy."
M. 
Penalty.
1. 
Any person or business convicted of violating Subsection (B) or (C) of this Section shall be guilty of an offense and upon plea of guilty of the City of Harrisonville Codes or a finding of guilt shall be fined up to five hundred dollars ($500.00) and/or ninety (90) days in the County Jail.
