Synthetic Cannabinoid Illnesses in Indiana - August 2014

There are reports out of Fort Wayne, Indiana regarding six people hospitalized in a 12 hour period after using a synthetic cannabinoid product. While the overall number of people presenting is small, it was enough to garner some attention. No product names are given and no synthetic cannabinoids are named. Indiana has some strong laws around these compounds, including an exhaustive list of explicitly banned compounds and structural classes. The state also employs an analog clause and an "imitation" or "lookalike drug" language. Pretty much if it is a synthetic cannabinoid or sold as such, then it is banned one way or another.

I'm going to check into this one some more and see what I can find out.
