• DEA to Use Emergency Powers to Ban K2, AKA "Legal Weed"
    107 replies, posted
[quote=The Huffington Post]The synthetic weed, known as "K2" or "spice" and generally sold in head shops, is popular among police officers, members of the military and others looking to avoid failing a drug test, said one hemp store owner who sells the product. The high from marijuana is created by its main active ingredient THC, but also by the plant's several dozen poorly understood cannabinoids. The DEA had banned any drug containing natural or synthetic THC, but has not addressed the cannabinoids. K2 has been legal because it uses synthetic versions of the cannabinoids rather than THC; because drug tests look for THC, users could smoke spice and not get caught by supervisors. But because it doesn't include THC, it gives users a different, lesser high than real pot. Because it has not been carefully studied, there is no certainty over whether it is as safe as marijuana. It is often labeled as incense and contains warnings against human consumption. Just as the threatened ban on the caffeinated booze drink Four Loko caused a run on convenience stores, the DEA's announcement about K2's impending ban threatens to send hordes of consumers to water pipe outposts, as users will have 30 days to hoard the fake drug before the ban goes into place. "A Notice of Intent to Temporarily Control was published in the Federal Register today to alert the public to this action," the DEA announced in a statement. "After no fewer than 30 days, DEA will publish in the Federal Register a Final Rule to Temporarily Control these chemicals for at least 12 months with the possibility of a six-month extension. They will be designated as Schedule I substances, the most restrictive category, which is reserved for unsafe, highly abused substances with no medical usage." [highlight]A Schedule I listing would put it in a more restrictive category than cocaine.[/highlight] [/quote] That is the last straw. This shit has got to stop. I'm so mad right now I can't even come up with a decent rebuttal against this stupidity.

what can be said, bureaucracies are bureaucracies as long as they have something to ban these guys have a job, and at the end of the day that's what matters the most to them
The problem with K2 is that it's fucking people up sometimes. Someone I know smoked some and threw up blood from some weird reaction to it. Besides, it's overpriced crap anyway. They just need to cut this nonsense out and legalize cannabis. Stop making people have to find some subversive way around the stupid bans and laws put into place for no reason other than to inconvenience and screw people over.
K2 bad, weed good. Simple
How about we just dissolve the DEA entirely. We have better things to spend tax dollars on. I mean seriously, it is an entire federal agency devoted to the "war on drugs". Local cops handle it just fine. For interstate or across border trafficking which is caught by local police and lost in "who has jurisdiction!?" hell among local law enforcement, just open a significantly smaller branch with the ATF. Rename them to Alcohol, Drugs, and Firearms. And of course legalize a fair portion of the recreational drugs on the grounds that they are infinitely less dangerous to the user than alcohol and tobacco. (And then tax it and use it to fund the new ADF or Local law enforcement depending on who enacts the tax. Suddenly pot makes people SAFER!)

They need to be helped not treated like criminals; unless they did something illegal to get the money to get the drugs, there's no reason heroin addicts should be thrown in jail.
DEA are badasses
[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;26283188]DEA are [b]dumb[/b]asses[/QUOTE] You're welcome.
I don't do drugs. I have a negative opinion on weed users, and even I think this is dumb.
Well time to buy some k2.

I know quite a few people who are going to be devastated by this.

[QUOTE=ryasnack1;26283727]Why smoke anyways?[/QUOTE] Because people want to. Why use the internet. You don't need the internet, let's take it away. [I]Why not?[/I] No real reason unless you smoke it all day like a moron and let it fuck you up. But that's not the weed, that's the person. Smart people do things in moderation, and morons can't help but be morons.
Your avatar is so ugly to look at.
[QUOTE=ryasnack1;26283727]Why smoke anyways?[/QUOTE] Don't hate it until you try it.
