Finding of Emergency
The Controlled Substances Board finds that an emergency exists and that this rule is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, or welfare. A statement of facts constituting the emergency is:
The Brown County District Attorney's office has provided the Controlled Substances Board with information relevant to emergency scheduling and the commencement of a prosecution concerning a controlled substance analog. UR-144, XLR-11, and AKB48 are pharmacologically similar to Schedule I substances THC and JWH-018. By sharing pharmacological similarities with the Schedule I substances, synthetic cannabinoids pose a risk both to the individual user and other affected individuals. UR-144, XLR-11, and AKB48 are being marketed as “legal" alternatives to marijuana. This characterization (and the reputation as potent herbal intoxicants) has increased their popularity and prevalence.
The Controlled Substances Board finds that scheduling of UR-144, XLR-11, and AKB48 on an emergency basis is necessary to avoid an imminent hazard to public safety. The substances are not included in any other schedule and no exemption or approval is in effect for the substance under
21 USC 355.
On May 16, 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration emergency scheduled UR-144, XLR11, and AKB48 as Schedule I, illegal drugs under the Controlled Substances Act.
