454454 include a controlled substance analogue that:
455455 (1) has a chemical structure substantially similar to
456456 the chemical structure of a controlled substance listed in the
457457 applicable penalty group; or
458458 (2) is specifically designed to produce an effect
459459 substantially similar to, or greater than, a controlled substance
460460 listed in the applicable penalty group.
461461 SECTION 5. The change in law made by this Act applies only
462462 to an offense committed on or after the effective date of this Act.
