Board of Health considers rescinding and updating regulations on synthetic cannabinoids and novel intoxicants.

The Board will first discuss and vote on a motion to rescind the current Board of Health Regulation #34, which prohibits the manufacture, sale, or distribution of synthetic cannabinoids.

Following that, the Board will hold a public hearing regarding an updated version of Regulation #34. The proposed new regulation would prohibit the manufacturing, sale, and distribution of synthetically derived cannabinoids, kratom products, and unregulated novel intoxicating products.
