House of Representatives committee members support a proposal that aims to combat the use and distribution of synthetic drugs in Minnesota.
The bill’s author, Rep. Erik Simonson, DFL-Duluth, said at a House committee meeting Wednesday that he hopes to decrease the distribution of synthetic drugs and streamline the prosecution processes associated with offenses.
“It is very prevalent still in Minnesota, especially among student populations, high school, college and young adults,” he told the Public Safety Finance and Policy Committee.
