Controlled Substances (1405DP) - Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing, Department of

This Iowa bill (1405DP) adds 30+ specific synthetic drugs to the state's controlled substances list, primarily targeting new fentanyl analogs (like alpha'-Methyl butyryl fentanyl and 2',5'-Dimethoxyfentanyl) and synthetic cannabinoids (such as MMB-FUBICA and ADB-BUTINACA). It directly affects anyone manufacturing, distributing, possessing, or using these newly listed substances within Iowa, making such activities illegal without a prescription. The bill achieves this by explicitly naming each chemical compound and its common aliases in the state's drug scheduling code. This update aims to address emerging synthetic drugs that evade existing laws through minor chemical modifications.
