AI Summary

This bill adds cannabimimetic agents to the schedule of controlled substances in New York. Cannabimimetic agents are defined as any substance that acts as an agonist on the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) receptor, and the bill provides a detailed list of the specific chemical structures that fall under this definition. The bill aims to regulate these synthetic compounds, which are sometimes referred to as "synthetic marijuana" or "K2/Spice," as they can produce effects similar to those of THC, the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis.
