At the request of the Morgantown Police Chief, who was worried about increasing hospital admissions encountered as a result of intake of synthetic hallucinogens, Delegate Fleischauer sponsored HB 4208 in 2014. The intention of the legislation was to ban synthetic hallucinogens, also known as bath salts or fake weed. Unfortunately, the Legislature has to continually update this legislation due to the development of ever-more and ever-changing sophisticated new compounds that mimic the hallucinogenic effect of other drugs.
