SUPERIOR TO FOLLOW DULUTH LEAD ON SYNTHETIC MARIJUANA BAN

Council President Bob Finsland and Police Chief Floyd Peters will
introduce the ordinance at the Sept. 7 council meeting.

Following the lead of the Duluth City Council, Superior will attempt
to pass an ordinance banning the sale, purchase or possession of
synthetic marijuana in the city of Superior, according to a news
release from Mayor Dave Ross' office.

Council President Bob Finsland and Police Chief Floyd Peters will
introduce the ordinance at the Sept. 7 council meeting.

Ross and other city officials will hold a news conference on the
proposed ban at 11 a.m. Wednesday in the Government Center.

The Duluth City Council voted unanimously Monday to outlaw synthetic
marijuana in the city. Duluth becomes the first Minnesota city to make
synthetic marijuana illegal.

Jim Carlson, owner of the Last Place on Earth, has threatened to sue
Duluth over the ban.
