Zoeller fighting synthetic drug ban appeal
INDIANAPOLIS (WLFI) — Attorney General Greg Zoeller urges the Indiana Supreme Court to overturn two court appeal decisions that strike down a portion of the state’s ban on synthetic drugs.
In January, the Indiana Court of Appeals ruled a portion of Indiana’s synthetic drug ban was unconstitutional because it is hard to define what substances are illegal.
The statute bans a list of more than 80 chemical compounds and look-alike substances including any declared a synthetic drug by the Board of Pharmacy.
Ag Zoeller and the judicial system of Indiana has been so successful in the war on drugs in this state.. that the states ranks in the top three for pharmacy robberies and break-ins and met lab bust. Perhaps Zoeller and the BOP have yet to figure out that you cannot legislate individual common sense. Those people that have an addictive personality are – or will be – in a death spiral and no matter what the bureaucrats attempt to prevent them 98%+ will end up in the same place… some will bottom out and get their act together, some will continue to abuse some substance and unfortunately many will die. Unless we are committed into treating them.. they will end up in jail or a grave.

Forgot to add we’re under anbig uptick of heroin and related OD’s and people are wringing their hands about it around here. Tragic yes…but they’re expecting government to don something…more laws to get rid of the heroin. Supposedky its tainted with fentanyl…..which has to be the Mexican heroin….cant think where one would get powdered fentanyl to cut it in US..all I’ve seen in injectible and gel matrix patches
The other problem.with our.law is no one can keep track of the chemicals. As soon as one comes out its banned…but some are banned under the BOP while others are banned under DEA or others under law enforcement. No one has a clear picture of whats whats and so typical in this state. Now they went ahead and banned khartom and working on banning powdered alcohol before either item shows up here. Closed narrow minded legislature…hell they invalidated the.voters by stripping our elected state school superintendent of her powers (she got more votes than tje govener and its more than there are teachers).sore losers
