K@, Spice Closer to Permanent Ban

The Iowa Senate has unanimously voted to ban synthetic marijuana. Thw bill will have to be reconciled with a House version. The Senate bill would make it a crime to manufacture, deliver or possess K2 or Spice. Punishment would include up to two years in prison and fines of up to $6,500. Last year, the state pharmacy board approved an emergency ban, but it will expire unless the Legislature makes it permanent. The federal Drug Enforcement Agency has outlawed the sale of five chemicals used to make the fake marijuana for at least a year.
