DULUTH'S BAN OF SYNTHETIC MARIJUANA ON HOLD UNTIL JUDGMENT IN LAWSUIT
The city of Duluth, Minn., said Tuesday that its ban on fake pot is
constitutional, but it has agreed not to enforce it until a court
decides the issue.
In a three-page response to a lawsuit filed this month, a deputy city
attorney disputed claims made by the owner of a Duluth head shop who
said the new law is so broad that it not only outlaws synthetic
marijuana but also such over-the-counter remedies as Vicks VapoRub.
The city also denied the shop owner's claims that there was no
scientific evidence that synthetic marijuana has any psychotropic
effect and that it poses no health or safety threat.
