Washington—Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chairman of the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control, today introduced the Protecting Our Youth from Dangerous Synthetic Drugs Act of 2013 to combat synthetic drugs designed to mimic the effects of controlled substances and circumvent existing federal drug laws. These so-called controlled substance analogues are currently unregulated.

The bill is co-sponsored by Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).

Many of the estimated 200 controlled substance analogues on the market today are designed to mimic the effects of hallucinogenic drugs like ecstasy, PCP and LSD, as well as THC, the principal chemical in marijuana.

“Traffickers of dangerous synthetic drugs continue to circumvent federal law by altering the chemical structure of their products and finding new markets for distribution, particularly among young people.” said Senator Feinstein.

The Obama Administration has conducted two nationwide operations targeting the importation, manufacture and distribution of designer synthetic drugs – Operation LogJam in July 2012 and Operation Synergy in June 2013.

These operations resulted in the seizure of $93 million in cash and assets; the removal of at least 10 tons of synthetic drugs from the supply chain; 318 arrests; and the execution of 681 search warrants, including at least 29 for drug manufacturing facilities.

Feinstein added, “This bill gives law enforcement the necessary tools to prosecute and bring to justice individuals who produce and distribute unregulated synthetic drugs.”

The Protecting Our Youth from Dangerous Synthetic Drugs Act of 2013:

  • Establishes an inter-agency committee of scientists headed by the Drug Enforcement Administration and responsible for establishing and maintaining an administrative list of controlled substance analogues.
  • Makes it illegal to import a controlled substance analogue unless the importation is intended for non-human use. (Virtually all substance analogues arrive in bulk from outside the United States).
  • Directs the U.S. Sentencing Commission to review, and if appropriate, amend the federal sentencing guidelines for violations of the Controlled Substances Act pertaining to controlled substance analogues.

I think something these lawmakers don't realize is that they aren't protecting anybody. Just making the market even more dangerous and convoluted.

I think once the BTC pay-for-murder market becomes notably reliable, politicians will have an entirely new fear. I'm not saying that I support such actions, but it will happen.

How would that work? Say someone commits $100,000 for the death of Tony Montana and Montana is killed. How would they ensure that the $100,000 gets to the killer and not some random claimant?
 
Anyone look at the second bullet?

" Makes it illegal to import a controlled substance analogue unless the importation is intended for non-human use."

So as of right now every single vendor I know has a "not for human use" sticker on their products. I've never got a bag of powder in the mail that didn't say that somewhere.

Still, its making me a little uneasy. Rent might have to wait an extra week this month. Might need to place some orders just in case.
 
This is like trying to catch a whale in a fishnet. Completely futile and useless.

How can you legislate against consciousness? These resources would prove far more effective in educating the populace than rounding up merchants who sell magic particles and charging them with crimes.
 
^Your beloved democrats such as Feinstein and Obama SUPPORT the goddamn drug war. I vote republican because I am socially liberal but economically conservative. If you want to buy hookers, sell heroin, and drive without a seat belt that should be totally legal. But I don't want to pay for anybody's healthcare, education, welfare, food stamps, heating oil, WIC, unemployment, or anything.

Get a good hitman, presumably with positive feedback. Buy a test kit. And he might want you to finalize early. ;P

Unless ron paul is the only republican you support you are just as gulity as the guy your criticising.
 
I haven't found any specifics on what substances this bill seems to cover. Does anybody have any information on that? You know, so we know what to stock up on.
