Great American men have always taken advantage of the public's need to get fucked up as a way to build their fortunes. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp. Joe Kennedy built a dynasty on bootleg liquor. It's good to see a local man continue the tradition by making a fortune off fake weed.
Bloomberg has a story up about the sales and bans on synthetic marijuana blends over the last year, and it leads with KC's own Derek Williams. A one-time trash-truck driver, Williams might retire by the time he's 30 because of sales of his popular invention, Syn.
According to a Bloomberg story on the compounds, the 29-year-old claims to have sold more than $1.5 million worth of his product in at least 10 states.
Just this week, the feds placed a one-year emergency ban on five of the chemicals used in fake-weed blends so regulating legislation can be written and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services can study the health effects. Williams says he has managed to stay ahead of these regulations by tweaking the formula whenever one chemical is banned.
And to think, he did $1.5 million in sales just by looking up recipes on the Internet.
I'm in the wrong business.

Have you heard of herbal incense? It is becoming more and more popular, yet much mystery still surrounds it. You may have questions such as, what is it? Does it really work? Is it the same as herbal buds? You can can the answers to these and many more questions by doing a little research and visiting the right websites.
You guys are obviously not understanding the point of herbal incense. It's no comparison to weed. It's so you can get high and keep your job. I work for SYN and I can tell you that there is nothing that will harm anybody, well smoking itself isn't great for you but if you use SYN like your supposed to then you'll be fine. This is just how we make our living just like everybody else. If you don't like it then don't buy it. Obviously!
Wow, dude is total genesis! Good for him man, good for him.

The Hemp was grown to make bags and rope. The type of Hemp that is used for this product is generally not a source for getting high. It is very misleading to make the statement made in this article.
It's not so good. We did try it with a panel of anonymous weed smokers. Everyone agreed it was pretty skeevy. I'd stick with the real thing myself.
Fake Pot is the biggest FUCK YOU to the DEA, High Times, 420.com and the Partnership for a Drug free America that has come along in history. The adults that buy and use it don’t care if pot gets legalized. The people that make it know pot will never become legal. The buyers and sellers are ok with the way things are. The buyers don’t care about the hoity-toity Cannabis Cup tasty buds, or pleading Drug Free America (what about the children) crowd. They don’t care if the government figures it out, or not. The reality is they get to get stoned and keep their jobs, or stay out of prison. That will never be an option with real pot. The daily users will enjoy it and that is that. Years have been wasted by thousands fighting this battle. Fake Marijuana destroyed all of that waste, and without even breathing hard.
Me neither. But my daughter - who's a fan of the real deal - tried some. She says people who think it's just as good as the real deal have probably never had any really good weed.
Me? I'll stick with the real thing, natural and organic.
"Williams says he's managed to stay ahead of these regulations by tweaking the formula whenever one chemical is banned."
Um, okay, so in a nutshell, these synthetic weeds are basically chemical cocktails. Not only that, since Williams is "tweaking the formula" who knows what chemicals he's putting in. It all sounds kind of random to me. How safe is this shit? I'm not going to try it.
Washington and Jefferson grew hemp to make rope, not to smoke. Usually the hemp you grow to make rope is a different strain from the stuff you smoke. Hemp for rope (or cloth) is more like what grows wild around here - tall plants with lots of long fibers. Hemp plants from the smoking varieties are short and bushy. You can smoke the rope-making hemp, but it won't do much for you.
