Wrap: A bill filed in Missouri's legislature would make six substances illegal, including the designer drug K2.
Parents complained buying K2 is too easy for their children.
The chemicals in these substances react to the brain similar to how Marijuana and other drugs do.
Republican Senator Kurt Schaefer from Columbia says he is fed up with how easy it is to get these mind altering drugs.

| Description: "Is this really appropriate, especially for kids to be buying over the internet, and having a false sense that it's safe or it's OK because there's otherwise no regulation on it." | |
Schaefer's sponsorship makes Missouri the second state to propose a ban on these substitute drugs.

Wrap: Republican Senator Kurt Schaefer from Columbia is sponsoring a bill that makes six new drugs illegal.
This bill comes just a day after the Kansas House of Representatives heard a similar bill.
Both proposals ban the incense K2 which has effects similar to marijuana when smoked.
Schaefer says the designer drug is available across the state and on line.

| Description: "It's a wide open market and I think when the entities that sell those products know that they are controlled substances in the state of Missouri, I think that will cut that off." | |
No state has made laws regarding these drugs, so smuggling between states is likely problem.
