Update: K2 synthetic marijuana is officially illegal in the state of Kansas, so Sunflower State business owners better get to destroying their supplies (or smoking them).
The laws criminalizing active compounds JWH-018 and JWH-073 were published today, making them schedule 1 drugs in Kansas. The Johnson County Sheriff's Office issued a press releasing saying it knows "several retailers in the county and surrounding areas that have been selling these products. As of today it will be a felony to continue to do so and the sheriff's office encourages these retailers to destroy any remaining product they may have in stock. In addition it is a Class A Misdemeanor to be in possession of these drugs."
In Missouri, the House voted
142-10 Wednesday to outlaw synthetic marijuana products. The bill (H.B. 1472) goes back to the Senate, which has already given initial approval to a ban.
***
As expected, Kansas Gov. Mark Parkinson signed a bill banning the active
chemicals in K2 synthetic marijuana.
JWH-018 and JWH-O73 are now
schedule I controlled substances in Kansas, illegal to possess, use or
sell. The legislation goes into effect as soon as it's published in the
Kansas Register.
In Parkinson's statement on the ban: "This legislation has received overwhelming support by Kansas law enforcement and the Legislature," Parkinson says. "It will help improve our communities by better equipping law enforcement officers in addressing this issue and deterring Kansans from drug use."

Nice Article.. Thanks for share this post..
I think, The sedative effects of benzodiazepines are the first to go — usual doses cease to produce the desired effect within a month of daily use. The patient then has to increase the dose to keep the initial effects, and psychological benzodiazepine addiction starts to develop. If an individual does not stop taking benzodiazepines psychological addiction will be followed by the physical one. After a month or so of regular benzodiazepine intake the addiction is full-blown.
Addiction affects millions worldwide. Prescription drugs and alcohol are
two of the leading substances abused by people who purposely or
inadvertently become addicted. Withdrawal is a period when the body,
which has become accustomed to a substance, adjusts to life without the
substance it is addicted to, be it painkillers, tranquilizers, street
drugs or alcohol.Though painkillers like suboxone and methadone are used for withdrawal
from severe painkiller addiction they are not really comparable to
benzodiazapine withdrawal. The substances are not generally used to
withdraw from similar substances since one is an opiate and the other is
a tranquilizer.
Our penal system needs a major overhaul as it is and these petty drug laws aren't helping matters. The authorities will never be able to keep up with k2 incense and the like as it is ever-changing. Loads of places have k2 herb products that aren't forbidden under any current bans. It is bonkers the money and effort they are putting into these bans when apparently people can still legally buy k2 smoke if they want to!
YOu no what i think is funny is that Kansas is Meth Capital of the United States and they are cracking down and banning something that is legal in all other 49 states maybe no missouri but oh my fuckin god crack down on the drugs that do severe damage to people like meth and crach wow i live in kansass this state is fuckin gay have a bunch of meth heads runnin around makeing meth in campers and cars and they are cracking down on somethin synthetic marjuana wow the legislation in kansas needs to get their priorties in order dumbasses
Great Post, thanks for the great Post. I will come back later _ Great information about surprise locksmith : surprise locksmith
Especially helpful info here. BTW, I believe I read a really similar article on another blog nowadays, actually i'm pretty certain. I 'll check it out and let you know, maybe they copied your content, who knows.
I would so not live in Kansas if I were you guys.. seems like the state has some issue.. I love in Kentucky. K2 is legel here.. which pretty much everything is..
i had my house kicked in for 1.5 grams of pot now am going to be a felon how is that. im a good dad son husband and small buss. owner, weed helped me with a.d.d and a.d.h.d i never comitted any crime while high but johnson county thinks im a criminal. go fuck yourselfs kansas law makers im moving as soon as they free me from their grasp and hope they would see things like smart people who would legalize it tax it and make money instead of letting criminal orgs . make billions every year .isnt america in alot of debt well you know we like becoming poorer and poorer every day . ps being a good person really paid off for me good luck with ur elections jk
im in the court system know for pot 1.3 grams. was smokin k2 then they outlawed it so back to pot i went now im paying out my ass in court fees and am about to loose my house love you too kansas i work and am a awsome dad but our great state sees me as a felon how is that go fuck yourself kansas city ill be moving after court and jailtime yours truly superdad
this is just another mess up by dum polititions or politition why isnt beer and hamberger illegal too hell make sex illegal and driving lock everone up if you smile anymore u could be breaken the law we need change and we need it now . make weed legal not just for med. use and we could nock out our state and fed. debt oops that would be stupid lol f u law makers
Oh yes, let me add something. I was done, but then I got to thinking more about this as I am "faked" (instead of getting "baked" off weed, we call it getting "faked" smoking jwh) Anyhow... Why can't the government start protecting us from the -real- dastardly fucks when it comes to drugs... THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES. Those whores pimp their wares on cable television spouting off about drugs that we have no clue as to what they are even for... I mean, seriously. How many prescription drugs have killed people- well, hell today even. Pain killers in my area, are being abused by SO many people it's just about an epidemic. A girl I know OD'd recently and died from them. I mean- don't get me wrong, you will get in deep shit here if you're caught with a pill and no prescription for it. Each pill is a felony, i do believe, but still- the problem exists on a higher level than just the poor fucks that got hooked on them. :(
Im done now.. for real this time.
Well, let me start off by saying that I agree with most of your positions on this issue here. and @ big Lou- be aware of the potential for jwh addiction. it has been shown to be addictive- however I am uncertain if it is more addictive than weed can potentially be for some people.
I am a frequent jwh-018 user. Serenity Now, and Demon Blend (a SUPER potent blind, typically 3 hits will rock me) from dascents.com are probably my favorite blends. I have heard it through the grape vine - not 100% on if this story is true - but a kid around here (in west virginia) got pulled over with a bowl pack of jwh 018. He had never smoked weed out of this pipe, and he is facing a substance charge because on the package it reads not for human consumption. Now... Can you get into trouble for drinking mouthwash, because it too says not to swallow?? or maybe some Silicone packets anyone?
Perhaps big prison systems and the government profit more off of imprisoning non violent marijuana offenders (and now JWH vendors in Kansas) than the profit margin for just legalizing both substances would be. Meh, just a thought- probably not... But that's all of those fucks up stairs care about... Money.
Alright.. Im done now :)
Who the fuck cares? I dont know why all you dumb fucks congregate on a stupid site to talk shit. Just keep doing what you do, nobody needs to hear all yer shit. Even if shit gets banned yer still going to get connections. I mean look at the lsd consumption in the past years, and it is illgal...
The government has far too much control. All these politicians are scrambling to ban k2 incense which they know nothing about, yet there are plenty of things kept legal in our "food" that are known carcinogens.
FUCK KANSAS seriously... living in johnson county has made my life a living hell. all these ridiculous laws make me proud to be an american... yeah right.
I live in Kansas and I was P.Od when I found this out I was buying atleast a gram a week so I was giving my state a shit load of money but luckily I live 3 minutes from OK so I can just go down there to get it XD
K2 is good, but "dry mouth" like a mofo! I am using it to quit weed. Got lot of arthritis on back from the military and cant hardly sleep unless I smoke. K2 gets me to dose off quick but still got the pains at night. I like to be as healthy as possible without depending on any meds or weed.
wish me luck!
" Legalize Marijuana Stop Telling Everyone Its a Drug When Its Not "
It�s a fine Herb that has many uses including medicinal, Nothing is a gateway to hard drugs. People make there own decisions to do what ever they want. Its just an easy cop out to blame somebody else for your problems. We all know where the hard drugs are coming from, Its coming from the war in Afghanistan. So stop the war. Stop bringing in Opium with our Tax dollars.
Ok lets see how many legal drugs we used today,,, we woke up after taking Ambien the night before which can cause hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. It can also be addictive

Then we made a cup of Coffee which contains caffeine. Which can cause In humans hyper sensitivity. Caffeine is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant, having the effect of temporarily warding off drowsiness and restoring alertness. Beverages containing caffeine, such as coffee, tea, soft drinks, and energy drinks, enjoy great popularity. Caffeine is the world's most widely consumed ( PSYCHOACTIVE ) substance, but, unlike many other ( PSYCHOACTIVE ) substances, it is legal and unregulated in nearly all jurisdictions. In North America, 90% of adults consume caffeine daily. Just type in the word caffeine & you will see all of its ill effects.
Then we noticed our head was hurting from the Alcohol we drank last night at the bar , We all know how bad alcohol is,, I can write forever about this ( PSYCHOACTIVE ) substance..
Then we took ibuprofen for our headache which also has ill effects like intestinal bleeding , Ibuprofen can increase your risk of life-threatening heart or circulation problems, including heart attack or stroke. Ibuprofen can increase your risk of getting the chills, increased sensitivity to light, and/or seizure (convulsions) So I would guess you can also call this a ( PSYCHOACTIVE ) substance too. .Read more: http://www.drugs.com/ibuprofen...
Then we went to the store to buy a pack of cigarettes. Once again we all know had bad it is to have nicotine in your body. I can write all day about this ( PSYCHOACTIVE ) substance.
The truth is that these are all legal drugs we take everyday, When Marijuana or Cannabis Sativa is just an Herb that has No history of ever hurting anyone who has ever used it The same goes for these new Marijuana alternatives that has no reports that I�ve seen to hurt anyone !
Government gone crazy
Let me first say that I agree with all the comments on this page. We are to demonize something yet again without even a single vote cast. At least not my vote or yours. I thank all of you for voicing what you think is right and it seems 90% of people are on the same page. Another population control. Another way to inprison people. Trust me, It is not an accident that the most deadly things for you are legal. Alcohol, Cigs by the hundreds of thousands. If you die using these, thats just one less mouth to feed. people may in some cases have had bad reactions with weed or K2. Like inhaling to hard and getting heart burn. It doesnt kill so therefore the government makes it illegal. Why would the government want you to get better. Its not like weed doesnt help people with cancer or advanced G.I. problems or Glacoma patients( Sarcasim) or k2 is not the main substance they are using to maybe cure altimers or parkinson's dieses. ( sarcasim)
This is bullshit K2 is awsome I smoke it and im just fine in fact all my friends do just for the simple fact that its legal. Its my choice to posion myself and as far as Driving while under the effects of k2 it should be the SAME charge as DUI because thats excatly what u r doin....To all the people that wanna take this FREEDOM away from the people like me need to FUCK OFF!! Live your own life...This is America land of the Free and home of the brave LET FREEDOM RING its our choice.. I have 2 jobs and i smoke everyday its perfectly fine because its legal .......I have NEVER ever wanted to hurt anyone while under the influence of K2 at most i wanted to meet people and introduce a PEACEFUL way of life...PEOPLE we NEED to wake up and take action NOW our voices are NOT being heard..before long we will have no freedoms left..K2 does NOT need to be made illegal because....IT IS SIMPLY A PERSONAL CHOICE TO TAKE PART IN ANY ACTIVITIES INVOLVING K2 OR ANY LEGAL HERB FOR THAT MATTER.....if u agree copy and paste this anywhere and everywhere you can lets get the voice of america heard again....stand up for freedom before its to late!!!
In missouri one of the laws they are trying to pass is to ban all synthetic canabinoids, this way, when they come up with new ones, they won't be able to sell leagally. As for dying on thc, It is possible but you would have to smoke about 3 pounds of high grade in about an hour all by yourself. I don't think the world champ could do half that. And i don't mean smoking it by letting it all go in the air, i mean inhale everybit of it.
THC poisoning ? what are you a fucking retard you can't die from thc your brother died from something else maybe it was laced with poison you dumb fuck or maybe he died from stupidity.
THIS ISN'T SOMETHING TO JOKE ABOUT GUYS MY BROTHER DIED BECAUSE OF WEED.
HE WAS SMOKING AND HE SMOKED TOO MUCH AND GOT THC POISONING AND DIED.
THANK GOD THEY OUTLAWED THIS DRUG. THE LAST THING PEOPLE NEED ARE INDEPENDENT FREEDOMS IN THIS LAWLESS WORLD.
As it stands now there is no "instant" blood, breath, urine, or hair test for JHW compounds.
They can't even find it with a hospital ER blood test. It will so up in an autopsy tox-screen, but if they are doing one of those on you, well...
This is media hype, backed by uniformed politicians who get info for some (like someone else commented) PHD who can not function in the real world.
so does this mean that they're going to be testing for k2 in UA's now?? or is that even possible?? bc im on papers and smoke k2 and not wanting to get another bullshit charge..does anyone have any info on this???
I didn't even know what K2 was as of a week ago. Found out thanks to Kansas legislation via the news. So, just wanted to say thanks to Kansas for opening my eyes to K2. Just purchased some for the first time.
Hello all. I didnt even know about this stuff till recently. to buds of mine just partook and were exstatic about the effects. I dont use but i dont see anything wrong with herb or herbal substitutes. It a sad state of affairs that things like this can be criminalized at the drop of a hat. Weak sauce
I sell K2 in Kansas City, mo at my shop the Coffee Wonk. It is located at 3535 Broadway. It looks that a ban in Misosuri is coming soon though. This is election year fear mongering politics as usual. In the Missouri Senate debate the presenters told our representatives that K2 is really more like meth, and of course our elected officials voted to ban it by and large instead of having those claims independently verified. Our best chance now is calling the office of Governor Jay Nixon @ 573-751-3222 and let them know that this is not a crime and to make this a felony is a total abuse of legislative authority.

You know Kansas banning K2 isn't going to keep potheads from smoking pot. K2 kids from smoking K2. Or alcoholics from drinking and driving. In 2009 Kansas had 387 deaths due to drunk driving. http://www.duiattorneyhome.com...
But it is rather odd that when one googles K2 and k2 related deaths one only gets articles on a mountain hiking accident. I say Kansas lawmakers made it illegal because they really do not feel the need to look into their failing judicial system and see that marijuana and K2 are not the problem.
I used the sarcasm font, but it doesn't display properly on all monitors. Sorry 'bout that...
i have had the priveledge of smoking k2 for a while now... its shame its already outlawed in faggot ass kansas and give it a few weeks or months and some other states will probably be following suit. jjskck FUCK YOU FAGGOT ASS GRAMPS!!!! YOU LITTLE BITCH!!! FUCKING FUCK
Rumor has it, Pandora Potpourri is developing a new product that contains none of the chemicals that are illegal in Kansas, so who really cares if they ban K2? I'm sure they're not the only ones... there's money to be made. All this law really did was draw attention to the fact that incense could be smoked. Prior to the media picking it up, there was very little abuse.
These laws are just politicians pandering to the religious right. They are not based on any factual information that the product is harmful.
Why not regulate it, instead of pushing into the hands of drug dealers who really don't care about the public safety. At least store owners could ID, and commercial manufactures could provide warnings against abuse.
like was mentioned above they left out the other jwh's and there are so many research chemz out they will never be able to keep up. i dont see why society has to be close minded to anything new that makes you intoxicated. they say its not safe but drinking is? check out the 2c's
Ahh our awesome justice system. While the pharmas peddle death by the millions the cops still continue to waste money on marijuana. The pharmas can sell their products because they are in bed with the government, its OK to sell death as long as you pay your local lawmakers handsomely! Instances like this make me sick of the Americas backward stance on the drug war....
What would we of done if our kids were selling incense on the street corners? Thank god for those smart cops who know so much about what damages a society. I mean, obviously heroin based prescription pills are perfectly safe for medicinal use! Whew! We dodged a bullet Kansas! K2 almost slipped through the cracks!
Why? Simply, why? Where is the facts and common sense here? Another reason to hate the anti-progressive state of Kansas.
1936 - That's when the short film 'Refer Madness' came out. That's 74 years. It is so sad - tragic really - that, as a society, we are still just as ignorant and fearful now as were we then. Facts and common sense are apparently irrelevant to our lawmakers.
I love how law makers are so quick to outlaw JWH-018, and 073, when they know nothing about it. That is OK what they don't know is that JWH-80,200,250....etc are still legal, and are also CB1, and CB2 agonist.
Marijuana use itself is not that bad, it's the marijuana laws that are the problem. If someone chooses to consume marijuana, they should do it responsibly. The first step toward re-education on marijuana is getting people to realize what the current laws are. Depending on which state you are in, you can get jail time and hefty fines for just testing positive for marijuana or possessing a used pipe. Want to know what the marijuana laws are in your state?
