IMITATION CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE
A substance that is not a controlled substance, which by
dosage unit appearance (including color, shape, size and markings),
or by representations made, would lead a reasonable person to believe
that the substance is a controlled substance. In determining whether
the substance is an imitation controlled substance the court or authority
concerned should consider, in addition to all other logically relevant
factors, the following:
1.
Whether the substance was approved by the Federal Food and Drug
Administration for over-the-counter (non-prescription or non-legend)
sales and was sold in the Federal Food and Drug Administration approved
package, with the Federal Food and Drug Administration approved labeling
information;
2.
Statements made by an owner or by anyone else in control of
the substance concerning the nature of the substance, or its use or
effect;
3.
Whether the substance is packaged in a manner normally used
for illicit controlled substances;
4.
Prior convictions, if any, of an owner, or anyone in control
of the object, under State or Federal law related to controlled substances
or fraud;
5.
The proximity of the substance to controlled substances;
6.
Whether the consideration tendered in exchange for the non-controlled
substance substantially exceeds the reasonable value of the substance
considering the actual chemical composition of the substance and,
where applicable, the price at which over-the-counter substances of
like chemical composition sell. An imitation controlled substance
does not include a placebo or registered investigational drug either
of which was manufactured, distributed, possessed or delivered in
the ordinary course of professional practice or research.
