3-7-7: EMERGENCY ABATEMENT:
Because the use of synthetic drugs has been documented to cause hallucinations, agitation, psychosis, aggression, suicidal and homicidal thoughts, and death, any violation of this chapter presents an immediate threat and grave and imminent danger not only to the person consuming the synthetic drug, but also to the public at large. If the code compliance officer, city manager, or other designated official, based on the facts then known, determines that a violation of this chapter presents an immediate threat, imminent danger or hazard or is imminently injurious to the public health or safety, then that violation is punishable by the emergency abatement procedures set forth in section 3-4-11 of this title.
