In email today from Indiana Senate President Pro Tem David Long:<\/p>\n

Legally Dispose of Synthetic Drugs<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Last Thursday, Gov. Mitch Daniels signed House Enrolled Act 1196<\/a> into law, immediately making a number of hazardous substances illegal to possess, transport or sell in our state and strengthening Indiana’s ban on dangerous synthetic drugs.<\/p>\n

To provide a method for retailers and private citizens to properly dispose of newly illegal substances, all Indiana State Police (ISP) posts statewide are designated as drop-off sites now through this coming Sunday, March 25. We must ensure a safe avenue for disposal of these products, so they aren’t simply thrown into dumpsters or discarded in a manner allowing them to fall into the hands of young children. ISP officials say there is no concern about being arrested when these drugs are brought to a post for proper disposal<\/span><\/strong>. <\/em><\/p>\n

It’s important to note that this is not an amnesty period,<\/span> as these products are now illegal to possess. Retailers should already have these products pulled from their shelves and safely secured until they can be properly disposed. Stores still selling<\/span> these products are subject to losing their retail licenses<\/span> for one year. Employees and customers purchasing<\/span> banned synthetic drugs can be arrested<\/span> for violating Indiana’s new law.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Undercover ISP officers may visit retail stores and purchase items suspected to be in violation<\/em><\/strong> of the law. If laboratory testing confirms purchased items are illegal, the employee making the sale may be arrested<\/span> and, as stated earlier, the store may have its retail license revoked for one year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
