Yucatan Fire, Genie, Zohai and many others) and substituted cathinones
(these products, often referred to as "bath salts," are chemically
related to methamphetamines and ecstasy - which are both classified as
stimulants) as controlled substances under the public health law and
the penal law, and to create a Statewide Synthetic Cannabinoid and
substituted Cathinone Surrender Program to allow for surrender of
these harmful substances to appropriate authorities.

surrender program; to amend the public health law and the penal law,
in relation to controlled substances; to repeal certain provisions of
the public health law, relating to controlled substances; and provid-
ing for the repeal of certain provisions upon expiration thereof
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. There is hereby established a statewide synthetic cannabi-
noid and substituted cathinone surrender program. Pursuant to this
program, for a period of ninety days commencing on the effective date of
this section:
The department of health shall establish a statewide synthetic canna-
binoid and substituted cathinone surrender program, in compliance with
federal law. The program shall be composed of locations throughout the
state, at which individuals may anonymously surrender products contain-
ing synthetic cannabinoids, as defined in section 3302 of the public
health law, and substituted cathinones, as defined in section 3306 of
the public health law. A surrender of synthetic cannabinoids and substi-
tuted cathinones pursuant to this section shall not constitute a "sale"
for the purposes of the penal law.
S 2. Subdivision 4 of section 3302 of the public health law, as added
by chapter 878 of the laws of 1972 and as renumbered by chapter 537 of

PURPOSE:

synthetic cannabinoids often known as K2, Spike 99, Spice, Yucatan Fire,
Genie, Zohai and many others) and to create a Statewide Synthetic Canna-
binoid and substituted Cathinone Surrender Program to allow for surren-
der of these harmful substances to appropriate authorities.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Adds nine classes of synthetic cannabinoids, based on foundational chem-
ical structures, to the controlled Substances Act (CSA) - which should
address the current practice of making minor alterations to chemicals to
subvert statutes that prohibit distinct substances. Makes penalties for
possession and sale similar to marijuana. These substances are similar
to marijuana in how they are used, the neurochemical impact they illic-
it, and the quantities in which they are sold.
Requires provisions to allow for the surrender of these substances
during the 90 day period after enactment of the law to the appropriate
authorities, and requires that a database be maintained to increase
awareness of these products and their harmful effects.
