Law-enforcement agencies in Polk County (Florida) plan to be the first in the state to crack down on the sale of so-called synthetic marijuana products sold under names such as K2 and Spice.

Chemicals Used in "Spice" and "K2" Type Products Now Under Federal Control and Regulation

DEA Will Study Whether To Permanently Control Five Substances

Chemicals like K-2 and Spice are designated as Schedule I substances, the most restrictive category under the Controlled Substances Act.

According to a report in The New Orleans Times-Picayune, funds from NIDA helped create the dangerous marijuana alternative known as "Spice" and "K2."

The funds were disbursed in the mid-1990s to a Clemson University researcher named Dr. John W. Huffman. It was while searching for a cure to marijuana "addiction" that Huffman developed the formula for Spice:

ADULT stores are selling a synthetic cocaine called White Bull for $100 a gram. This is twice the price of old-fashioned amphetamines that bikies used to cook - and we were told it's stronger than the real and illegal stuff.

Hutchinson's KWCH reports that another legal marijuana alternative is already on headshop shelves. The new products are called "Maui Hybrid," and "Hawaiian Haze," and just like K2, they mimic the effects of weed. Supposedly the products come from the South African Canna plant and contain neither THC nor the synthetic cannabinoids that made K2 work.

This article seems like a complete propaganda hit piece against spice/K2 to me (they even disabled comments for this story). The whole thing is so full of BULLSHIT that I don't even know where to begin. What's even more ridiculous, when I looked up the reporter's name in their directory she's listed as "Courts/police Reporter".

“I’m not kidding around when I’m doing this. I’m dead serious. We need to stop handling Marijuana the way we have been,” says the Seattle Democrat.

She dropped House Bill 1550 on Tuesday, which she says will allow for the sale of marijuana in state-run liquor stores.

Fox News is blaming the problems of synthetic weed on the synthetic weed. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that the natural marijuana is illegal... could it?

A man reluctantly robs a convenience store, in a seemingly desperate attempt to survive in a capitalist environment. He even promises to provide restitution if and when he is able. This is a fascinating example of how economics, gun rights, and ethics play out in our current reality.
