Editor's note— Ord. No. 16-OR0116-1, adopted March 2, 2016, set out provisions intended for use as Chapter 20, Article VI. As Article VI already exists in Chapter 20, for purposes of clarity to preserve the style of this Code, and at the editor's discretion, these provisions have been included as Chapter 20, Article VII.
20.55.1. - Legislative findings of fact.¶
The WHEREAS clauses contained in the ordinance from which this article is derived are hereby adopted as legislative findings of the Oceanside City Council and are ratified and confirmed as being true and correct and are hereby made a specific part of this ordinance upon adoption hereof.
(Ord. No. 16-OR0116-1, § 1, 3-2-2016)
20.55.2 - Purpose and intent.¶
Recreational use of synthetic cannabanoids, cathinones, and other novel psychoactive substances commonly known as "synthetic drugs" has been documented to cause hallucinations, agitation, psychosis, aggression, suicidal and homicidal ideations, cannibalism and death, which also leads to an increase in associated criminal activity and medical aid emergencies. While state and federal laws and regulations prohibit some synthetic drugs, the makers of these drugs continually alter the composition of the compounds in their products so as to escape the purview of these laws and regulations. The purpose and intent of this article is to provide the city with reasonable measures to address the dangers to the community posed by such synthetic drugs and mislabeled/misbranded products containing psychoactive substances that are not otherwise regulated by state or federal law.
(Ord. No. 16-OR0116-1, § 1, 3-2-2016)

20.55.4.¶
- Provision, display for sale, sale or distribution of synthetic drugs or mislabeled/misbranded products prohibited.
(a) It is unlawful for any person or business to sell, offer to sell, offer for sale, distribute, display, or deliver any synthetic drug or any mislabeled/misbranded product in the City of Oceanside.
(b) It is unlawful for any person to provide or sell or offer for sale a product for human consumption when the product is labeled "not for human consumption" or contains similar warnings when such product is in fact intended for human consumption.
(c) Evidence that a given product is a synthetic drug may be found from its intended use, which can be determined from its price, packaging, marketing, and the location and manner in which a given synthetic drug is displayed or distributed. While the question of whether a given product is being sold, offered for sale, distributed, displayed or delivered for use as a synthetic drug must be evaluated on its specific facts, the city finds that, to determine if a person is selling, offering to sell, distributing, displaying, or delivering a synthetic drug, the enforcing officer shall consider the following evidentiary factors:
(1) The product is not suitable for its marketed use (such as a crystalline or powder product being marketed as "glass cleaner");
(2) The business providing, displaying for sale, distributing or selling the product does not typically provide, distribute or sell products that are used for that product's marketed use (such as a liquor store selling "plant food" or "potpourri");
(3) The product contains a warning label that is not typically present on products that are used for that product's marketed use (such as "not for human consumption," or "does not contain chemicals banned by the CSA, H&S Code sections 11357.5 and/or 11375.5");
(4) The product is significantly more expensive than products that are used for that product's marketed use (such as half of a gram of a substance marketed as "glass cleaner" costing fifty dollars ($50.00));
(5) The product resembles an illicit street drug (such as cocaine, methamphetamine or marijuana);
(6) The product's name or packaging uses images or slang referencing an illicit street drug (such as "Eight Ballz" or "Green Buddha").
(7) Aspects of the packaging or labeling suggesting the user will achieve a "high," euphoria, relaxation, mood enhancement, or that the product has other psychoactive or psychotropic effects on the brain or body;
(8) The methods by which the substance is distributed;
(9) The manner in which the substance is displayed, distributed, or sold to the public;
(10) The product label contains a restriction that it is not for sale to minors or anyone under the age of 18 when the product's marketed use would not contain such restrictions;
(11) Comparisons with accepted methods of marketing a legitimate nonprescription drug for medicinal purposes rather than for the purpose of drug abuse or any similar nonmedical use; or
(12) Verbal or written representations regarding the purpose, methods, use, or effect of the product.
