Bill Summary
For legislation to include Salvia Divinorum and Salvinorin A in the classification of controlled substances. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend existing Massachusetts law, specifically Chapter 94C, Section 31, which deals with controlled substances. The key provision is the addition of "Salvia Divinorum" and "Salvinorin A" to the list of substances classified as Class C controlled substances. This means that possessing, distributing, or manufacturing these substances would be subject to the penalties associated with Class C drugs in Massachusetts, which are generally less severe than those for Class A or B drugs but still carry legal consequences. The context for this change is the government's desire to regulate these specific compounds, likely due to concerns about their psychoactive effects and potential for misuse.
