3-yl](2,2,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropyl) methanone (5-fluoro-UR-144, XLR11); and N-(1-adamantyl)-1-pentyl-1H-indazole-3- carboxamide (APINACA, AKB48). Tis action was based on a finding by the DEA’s Deputy Administrator Tomas Harrigan that the placement of these synthetic cannabinoids into Schedule I of the CSA is necessary to avoid an imminent hazard to the public safety. Te DEA published a notice of its intent to do this and issued a press release about it on April 12, giving makers, sellers, and other possessors of these drugs a month to rid themselves of their current stocks and to cease making or buying more. Over the past three years, smokable herbal blends containing synthetic cannabinoids
have been marketed under the guise of being “legal” and have become increasingly popular, particularly among teens and young adults. Tese products consist of plant material that has been laced with these cannabinoids. Tese substances have not been approved by the FDA for human consumption or for medical use. Te long-term physical and psychological effects of these substances and their associated products are unknown but are potentially severe, and psychotic and violent behavior has been observed in short- term users of these products. During the next two years, the DEA will work with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to determine if these chemicals should be made permanently illegal. ❚
MROs will continue to report laboratory- confirmed 6-AM positive results as verified positive drug tests, in accordance with the HHS Mandatory Guidelines and DOT Regulations.
