So I'm rather confused on this whole thing. Spice is not illegal, yet businesses are having their licenses suspended and people are getting arrested over it? Someone enlighten me
Read the full text of the declaration, the governor can go after the product due to "imminent peril to public health", it's a short-term order:

So in a nutshell, they can use this imminent peril (or more correctly worded, protect the stupid people from themselves) to suspend businesses and arrest people.
That stuff is nasty. Worse than pot because of the inconsistency in manufacturing. Apparently there's a lot of bad batches out there causing people to OD. Can't believe people are stupid enough to give this stuff a shot.
Just doesn't make any sense. A guy is being charged with felony drug sales for selling a legal product.
Kids today don't seem all that bright. When I was a kid we always stuck to the established inebriants, today it seems like they'll smoke/snort anything they have handy.

Not all variants of "Spice" are legal products. Several years ago, the DEA added 5 of the "Spice" chemicals to the controlled substance Schedule I, those five drugs are illegal to possess and sell nationwide.

The products currently in question are legal for sale ( used as intended) As someone else stated following the logic used by our "governor" we should be shutting down Walmarts for selling modeling glue..ah but this is what you get when you steadfastly refuse to legalize the real thing based on Reefer Madness era misinformation and stupidity
From what I understand, Spice is only considered synthetic marijuana because it binds to the same receptors as pot. The effects (and side effects) that I have seen listed are nothing like marijuana. It also sounds like a shady operation where the distributor shows up in a car selling this to mini marts that keep it behind the counter where customers "in the know" ask for it directly. It sounds like many of the side effects are similar to that of the bath salts we have been reading about in the news which is pretty nasty stuff. I have been told that the ingredients in Spice may be legal, but combined it makes for some pretty toxic stuff. Each batch may be different from the last. My experience with suspected Spice OD in the hospital has been where the patient was so delirius they couldn't say what they took and the standard hospital lab tests don't pick it up. Lab samples have to be sent out and take days to come back.
I agree with your take on things, Dave...seems like the youth of today is willing to put about anything in their body regardless of the risk. Then when they get sick, they use up tons of resources and have no means of paying for it.
This is all new stuff for me. I spent most of my health care career out in Washington where methamphetamines were the issue. That's some nasty stuff too but at least a urine tox screen will pick it up.

I don't know if they are that different then those who would search the streets at night to find the micro dot they dropped earlier ( friend of mine, early 70's )
