This Arizona bill updates state laws to include specific new synthetic drugs and chemical structures in the legal definition of "dangerous drugs." It directly affects law enforcement, prosecutors, and the public by expanding the list of controlled substances to cover various hallucinogens and synthetic cannabinoids. The key mechanism involves amending existing statutes to explicitly name dozens of new chemical compounds and create broader categories that automatically include future similar substances. By clarifying these definitions, the legislation ensures that these specific drugs are treated as dangerous drugs under Arizona law.
