(Springfield, IL) — Illinois lawmakers are looking to get tougher on synthetic marijuana. The Illinois senate yesterday unanimously approved a plan to add synthetic cannabinoids to the state’s controlled substance act. It’s been tough for lawmakers to regulate the fake pot in the past because it is a chemical compound that can be changed to skirt regulations. This year’s move to get tough comes after a bad batch of synthetic marijuana sent more than 150 people to emergency rooms this spring with severe bleeding.
