Summary

Penalties for possession, sale, gift, distribution or possession with intent to sell, give or distribute synthetic marijuana. Creates a new category for "synthetic marijuana" as a series of controlled substances listed in Schedule 1 (§54.1-3446) of the Drug Control Act (§54.1-3400 et seq.).
