[Added 11-9-2010 by Ord. No. 2010-4]
The Village Board of the Village of Sauk City, Wisconsin, has
determined that herbal preparations powdered or sprayed with a chemical
synthetic cannabinoid are available for sale in the Sauk County area
that claim to produce intoxicating effects similar to THC or marijuana.
While the substances are not yet categorized as illegal controlled
substances under Wisconsin or federal law, several other countries,
states and municipalities have already taken action to prohibit these
substances due to increased overdoses and other negative health concerns.
While these synthetic cannabinoid substances are often marketed as
benign and legal alternatives to marijuana, they are potentially dangerous
to users as the substances can create potency from three up to 100
times greater than marijuana, produce severe adverse health conditions
such as hallucinations, paranoia, seizures, and vomiting based on
reported emergency room experiences in areas of the country where
use is more prevalent, and further that long-term health effects of
use of these substances are not yet known. It has been determined
that the effects of these substances are a health, safety, and welfare
concern to the citizens of the Village of Sauk City.
It shall be illegal for any person to use, possess, transport,
purchase, attempt to purchase, sell, publically display for sale or
attempt to sell, give, trade or barter any one or more of the following
