Just Apose

Iowa police seize really bad bogus bills

Weldon Spring passes fake pot ban; Foristell may be next

Not counterfeit pot, but rather K2, which has a sort of pot-like chemical in it. This is a sudden disaster, or at least it’s suddenly getting a lot of coverage in the press. Which makes it AN EMERGENCY:

The St. Charles County Council on Monday unanimously voted to ban K2 and other products containing synthetic cannabinoids, compounds that mimic the effects of marijuana.

The law immediately made it a misdemeanor to sell or possess the products throughout St. Charles County, including incorporated municipalities.

Enacted as an emergency measure affecting public health, the bill did not have to go through the typical process requiring at least two meetings for passage – one for a first reading and a second for the final vote.

Emergency is now defined down to anything the St. Charles County Council wants to act on quickly, in the heat of a media spotlight. Swell.
