Derek Egenlauf
Derek Egenlauf, 22, of Plymouth, Pa., was indicted for third-degree possession of a CDS. The incident included an arrest for driving while intoxicated.  The drug involved was AB-Chminaca, a synthetic cannabinoid. It is not a drug commonly mentioned in county indictments.
The drug was placed on Schedule I of the Schedules of Controlled Substances in 2015 by the U.S. Department of Justice. Schedule I drugs involve the most serious offenses.
These synthetic formulas, according to the DOJ, “mimic the biological effects of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.” DOJ’s decision to move this drug to Schedule I was based on a danger to public health due to numerous reported deaths associated with the drug’s use.
