(wkms) -
Owensboro officials are trying to find the best way to rid the city of synthetic marijuana. The City Commission decided Tuesday to ask the Owensboro-Daviess County Steering Committee to come up with recommendations to get the product off store shelves. The issue came up during the commission's monthly session. Commissioner Roger Stacy says residents should boycott stores selling synthetic marijuana until the product is removed. City Attorney Ed Ray says synthetic marijuana is actually spices sprayed with a psychotropic compound that changes regularly to stay ahead of standing laws. He says the product is labeled as incense and marked "not for human consumption" under such names as K2 and Spice.
