Purpose
This act authorizes funds to educate parents and kids on the dangers of Ecstasy and other drugs. It also directs the United States Sentencing Commission to consider increasing federal sentencing penalties for offenses involving GHB, a drug rumored to facilitate sexual assaults; and it makes clear that anyone who knowingly opens, leases, rents, or maintains, whether permanently or temporarily, any place for the purpose of using, distributing or manufacturing any controlled substance, can be held accountable. The new law also makes it unlawful for a manager, employee or owner, to profit from, or make available for use, any place for the purpose of storing, distributing, manufacturing, or using a controlled substance.
