The Laurel County Fiscal Court will have its second reading Thursday night of an ordinance to stop the sale of substances that contain cannabinoids, a chemical similar to marijuana.
The substances, also called “synthetic marijuana,” are being sold as herbal incense packets.
The ordinance would make the sell, delivery or transport of such products a class A misdemeanor, punishable by a sentence of up to 12 months in jail or a fine of up to $500.
The court passed its first reading of the ordinance at its December meeting. The second reading will be held tonight at their regularly scheduled meeting in the courthouse Thursday at 6:30 p.m.
