House Subcommittee Passes Ingram’s Controlled Substances Bill

February 15, 2014

The House Criminal Justice Subcommittee this week unanimously passed a bill sponsored by Rep. Clay Ingram (R-Pensacola), which bans a set of illicit synthetic drugs and adds three extremely lethal synthetic compounds, commonly found in the street drug “molly,” to the trafficking statute.

“Synthetic drugs are dangerous drugs that are marketed to our youth, and I applaud Representative Ingram and the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee for joining the effort to protect our kids from these substances,” said. Attorney General Pam Bondi.

This legislative proposal would also add six additional substances to Schedule I of controlled substances, making it a third-degree felony for an individual to “sell, manufacture, or deliver, or possess with intent to sell, manufacture or deliver” these dangerous drugs.

A Senate companion bill is sponsored by Senator Rob Bradley.

    It would be nice to know what substances were added to the list or where to find this information.
