It's really unfortunate this synthetic harmful crap gets confused with and lumped in with real marijuana. It has none of the medical benefits and the high from what I've read/researched is completely different. Besides the name and the way they try to make it look, it is nothing like real marijuana.

My only concern is the cops, FF, and EMS who will have to deal with these animals, while being recorded, and then get in trouble if anything goes wrong. Best case scenario, every idiot who smokes this stuff dies from the first hit so no one else has to deal with them.

Totally agree. Calling this marijuana is purposeful to make marijuana look bad, therefore lowering the odds of it being legalized. This is NOT marijuana, it is not remotely LIKE marijuana, and it should not be held up as an example of why marijuana shouldn't be legalized.

As bad as it is, they should just keep it legal.

If they ban it then it will just create an underground black market. And this will further fuel gangs and drug cartels.

Just think about it, the war on drugs started over 35 years ago and it's STILL just as easy to get your hands on any kind of drug...so that was just an incredible waste of time, resources, MONEY and energy.... And then when you think of the costs to keep all of those people locked up..YIKES!

If you don't want to watch ads on videos or see them at all for that matter just install the add-on ad block plus. Makes the internet a little easier to use.

It's here: https://adblockplus.org/

Works with Firefox and internet explorer. With it you can block ads and tracking (EasyList and EasyTracking).
If you deselect "allow non intrusive ads" under filter preferences it will not allow any ads.
Just a suggestion.

I've read that some street marijuana is getting this stuff mixed in.

Probably the best way to combat synthetic legal drugs like K2 is to just legalize marijuana. If weed is legal people can just go get some when they want to get high and the market for things like K2 becomes much smaller. The only thing really dangerous about marijuana is that you have to go to the street to find it. You're potentially dealing with criminals and you can never be sure what additives they put in what you're buying.

Absolutely. A good comparison might be the rash of deaths from people drinking radiator anti-freeze (methanol) during Prohibition. It stopped when booze became legal again.

Same with heroin. Have pharmacies distribute pure, dosage controlled heroin and you will markedly cut down on street OD's from drugs manufactured in Columbia and cut in somebody's garage.
