MI House of Rep's Bill # 5709
Communities across Michigan have step up to challenge the easy access to K2 herbal spices in all of the variety of forms to teens and young adults. The young people who perceived that these drugs are "OK" because they are legal has caused deaths and serious short/long term medical problems for those involved in the smoking of these products.
The Community Anti Drug Coalition of America (CADCA) put out a notice of the dangers of this drug spring of 2010 alerting communities to take notice and prepare to address this dangerous drugs.
November 24th, 2010, the D.E.A. used it's emergency scheduling authority to temporarily control five chemicals associated in the making of the of "fake pot" according to their press release. In 2009, the D.E.A.had begun to received reports from poison centers, hospitals, and law enforcement regarding the products.
N.I.D.A.,is sponsoring the National Drug Facts Week 2013 campaign has National Drug Facts Week 2013 has great information for teens and community groups looking to educate and provide parents with resources to help explain the dangers and behaviors association with legal/ illegal substances that teens are involved with experimenting with.
We've created a Power Point promoting the 2013 National Drugs Facts Week that I've put in a PDF file. We've provided this to School Resource Officers (SRO) throughout SE Michigan and to our Crime Prevention Association of Michigan members. Please feel free to send me an email if your interested in getting a copy.
