FIGHTING FLAKKA - TOUGHER SYNTHETIC DRUG LAWS SOUGHT
Kentucky law enforcement officials are pushing state legislators to
stiffen the penalties for possession and trafficking of synthetic drugs.
Possession of synthetic drugs like flakka, a new illegal drug that
has been seen in pockets across the commonwealth and has inundated
Lewis County, is only a misdemeanor under state law.
No matter how many times a person is arrested or how much they're
caught with, they can only be charged with a Class B misdemeanor for
possession. And a first-offense trafficking charge is a Class A misdemeanor.
