  • Article 22 Regulation for Restriction of Synthetic Drugs
    ARTICLE 22 REGULATION FOR RESTRICTION OF SYNTHETIC DRUGS SECTION 22.1 AUTHORITY This regulation is promulgated under the authority granted to the Needham Board of Health under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 111, Section 31 which states that “boards of health may make reasonable health regulations”. SECTION 22.2 PURPOSE The Needham Board of Health has found that synthetic marijuana, consisting of plant or other material treated with various chemicals or other synthetic substances not approved for human consumption, may be marketed and sold as herbal incense in the greater Boston area, although they are being used in the same manner and for the same purposes as scheduled drugs. In addition, the use of these products has become particularly popular among teens and young adults. Based on information and reports from hospitals, emergency room doctors, and police agencies, individuals who use these products experience dangerous side effects including convulsions, hallucinations, and dangerously elevated heart rates. This is evidence that synthetic marijuana products are harmful if inhaled or consumed, and present a significant public health danger. These synthetic compounds and others have a high potential for abuse and lack of any accepted medical use, these dangerous products, while not approved for human consumption, are marketed and sold in a form that allows for such consumption, putting at risk the individuals who come into contact with them. Therefore, the Needham Board of Health adopts this regulation for the purpose and with the intent to protect the public health and safety of the Town of Needham and its residents from the threat posed by the availability and use of synthetic marijuana, synthetic stimulants, synthetic hallucinogens, and other dangerous products by prohibiting persons from trafficking in, possessing, and using them within the town.

  • 2 Spice English Presentation
    Spice Spice contains no compensatory substances Специи не содержит компенсационные вещества Spice is a mix of herbs (shredded plant material) and manmade chemicals with mind-altering effects. It is often called “synthetic marijuana” because some of the chemicals in it are similar to ones in marijuana; but its effects are sometimes very different from marijuana, and frequently much stronger. It is most often labeled “Not for Human Consumption” and disguised as incense. Eliminationprocess • The synthetic agonists such as THC is fat soluble. • Probably, they are stored as THC in cell membranes. • Some of the chemicals in Spice, however, attach to those receptors more strongly than THC, which could lead to a much stronger and more unpredictable effect. • Additionally, there are many chemicals that remain unidentified in products sold as Spice and it is therefore not clear how they may affect the user. • Moreover, these chemicals are often being changed as the makers of Spice alter them to avoid the products being illegal. • To dissolve the Spice crystals Acetone is used endocannabinoids synhtetic THC cannabinoids CB1 and CB2 agonister Binds to cannabinoidreceptor CB1 CB2 - In the brain -in the immune system Decreased avtivity in the cell ____________________ Maria Ellgren Since some of the compounds have a longer toxic effects compared to naturally THC, as reported: • negative effects that often occur the day after consumption, as a general hangover , but without nausea, mentally slow, confused, distracted, impairment of long and short term memory • Other reports mention the qualitative impairment of cognitive processes and emotional functioning, like all the oxygen leaves the brain.

Seizure statistics for the 1980s indicate that 70% of the total quantity of drugs intercepted in the trafficking stage were inter­ dicted in the maritime sector or attributed to having been transported by sea. More significantly, it appears that only between 8 - 12% of the total volume of drugs trafficked are intercepted. The use of the sea­ borne modes of transport is the result of planetary geography which made the maritime medium one of only two ways by which drugs may enter several states.
