Wrap: Cases from around Missouri are showing up and highlighting the effects of synthetic drugs used to replace marijuana and cocaine, including K 3 and some bath salts.
West Plains Representative Ward Franz says distributors of the products are getting around Missouri law because of labeling.

| Description: "And the whole purpose is to get around the law. If you sell something for the purpose of not human, not for human consumption, and you put a label on it, it's legal to sell in the state of Missouri." | |
Missouri passed a law last June banning the sale of K 2, the predecessor to the current drug by a vote of 140-7.
The bill is awaiting approval from Governor Nixon.
