Emergency ban on chemicals in fake pot starts today

  • At least someone's going to finally study the health effects.

An emergency one-year ban on five of the chemicals used to make fake pot (also known as K2, Spice, and a hundred other names) goes into effect today, so take notice that you may now, in fact, be riding dirty.

You had plenty of warning. Besides statewide bans on certain types of fake pot in Kansas and Missouri, this emergency federal ban was announced last November.



The emergency ban makes the chemicals a Schedule 1 controlled substance with no wiggle room for medicinal use. That puts K2 or Spice on the same level as marijuana, heroin, PCP and meth.

While the ban is under way, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will study the health effects of the products, which means you have one more year to live in ignorant bliss.

Lawmakers are in the process of closing any loopholes that currently exist with laws pertaining to some herbal incense products, but there efforts will prove to be fruitless in the end. The prohibition of marijuana has created this demand for legal marijuana alternatives. A rather prosperous niche that will be tapped into for as long as marijuana continues to be illegal. There are many places one may still buy k2 incense and according to the vendors, like http://www.buyherbalincense.com the k2 herb products they sell are legal everywhere.

When will we learn that drug prohibition is absolutely futile especially in the case of k2 herb products? Not all of thisk2 incense stuff is illegal. They are constantly reformulating it to get around these bans so people will continue to legally buy k2 products and I guess the big dogs will continue to waste money on chasing it down.
