I stay away from anything synthetic. Probably grown by Monsanto.

OK, I'm confused. Is this saliva shit (or whatever it is) the same thing as that "legal pot" that is being sold in convenience stores? There was a great deal of noise made about this stuff here locally over the summer, and apparently it will be banned within the next month.

South Florida authorities welcome national ban of 'legal weed'

Federal officials will impose a nationwide emergency ban of "legal weed" next month in response to an alarming rise in reported abuse of the herbal blends, the DEA announced Wednesday.

The ban, to begin in 30 days or more, will make it illegal for at least a year to sell or possess products containing five chemicals found in the so-called "fake pot," which is sold as incense at convenience stores and specialty shops.

The temporary ban gives federal authorities time to study synthetic marijuana and decide whether to enact a permanent ban, the DEA said. Synthetic marijuana will be labeled a Schedule 1 drug along with heroin, marijuana and ecstasy.

"I think it's great news," said Palm Beach County Sheriff's Capt. Karl Durr, who oversees the agency's narcotics division. "It's a very dangerous drug and way too accessible to our youth."

Durr first heard of synthetic marijuana about eight months ago, and said it has since grown into a problem difficult for law enforcement to fight.

Concerned local authorities had been looking at creative ways to outlaw the herbal products, which are popular among drug users trying to skirt the law and pass drug tests.

In Delray Beach, police have ticketed users under a state anti-huffing law. In Broward County, prosecutors plan to have some DUI urine samples tested for chemicals found in fake weed. One local rehab center already is paying extra money to have a drug-testing lab in central Florida screen for the chemicals in its patients.

One driver involved in a Delray Beach crash had five hand-rolled synthetic marijuana joints in his car. Days later, also in Delray Beach, a woman driving with a revoked license was stopped with three pipes and several bags of the so-called "legal weed."

A Delray Beach community-service officer arrested them both last month, charging them with inhaling a harmful chemical substance, among other crimes.

"She told me to tell all my friends to look out," said Jordan Shields, 20, who was ticketed Oct. 26 after allegedly rear-ending another car in the 1000 block of Southwest 10th Avenue.

Synthetic marijuana — sold as incense under brands such as Mr. Nice Guy, Oasis, K2 and Spice — is illegal in 15 states. As Florida legislators draft a similar ban to introduce in December, the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office has told law enforcement officers that the anti-huffing law applies to smoking fake marijuana, according to local agencies.

The misdemeanor crime generally applies to people caught huffing air conditioning chemicals, and carries a maximum penalty of 60 days in jail.

The state statute has limited use, Durr said, so deputies welcome the DEA's emergency ban. Now the challenge will be spreading the word, he said.

"Law enforcement is going to have to figure out how to get these products off store shelves," Durr said.

As local police tried to curb use of "legal weed," one Delray Beach rehab center has started drug testing its patients for it.

Frank Cid, owner of Royal Recovery, said he realized about six months ago that clients were smoking the incense to get high and still pass frequent drug tests.

"It's rampant here," he said. "We were doing apartment checks and finding it everywhere."

He said his clients kept passing drug tests despite arriving home with bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and pale skin. More than a month ago, Cid found a lab in central Florida that tests for some of the chemical compounds found in Mr. Nice Guy and other herbs. The tests are expensive, about $40 each, so the rehab center does only random screenings, or in cases of suspected use.

So far this year, 2,304 cases of exposure to the product were reported by the American Association of Poison Control Centers, compared with 14 last year.

The chemical-laced incense blends, mostly made in Asia, are often labeled "not for human consumption." The chemicals found on the incense mimic the effect of cannabis when smoked, and were developed for scientific research by chemists in the mid 1990s.

Soon after, recreational use caught on in Europe and then spread to the United States. K2, among the most common type, sells for about $30 to $40 for a three-gram packet, not that much cheaper than its illegal counterpart.

Broward County police and prosecutors have been trying to figure how to handle cases involving synthetic marijuana. A recent Pembroke Pines case baffled authorities when prosecutors realized they couldn't charge a driver with DUI, even after he failed a roadside sobriety test and admitted to smoking "wacky weed."

On Aug. 23, Pembroke Pines police pulled over a Chrysler sedan after receiving calls about a reckless driver on Pines Boulevard, according to an arrest report. Max Russell, 21, could hardly speak, open his eyes or stand up, police said, but he reportedly admitted to smoking "wacky weed," claiming it was a legal substitute for marijuana.

"His impairment was one of the worst cases I have ever seen," one of the officers wrote in the report.

Russell allegedly told police he had not been drinking alcohol and had taken no narcotics. But he failed a roadside sobriety test and was arrested on a DUI charge. Russell later refused breath and urine tests.

When the case reached the Broward State Attorney's Office, prosecutors realized they couldn't charge him with DUI because synthetic marijuana is not a controlled substance in Florida, according to office spokesman Ron Ishoy. Instead, they charged him with less-punitive crimes of culpable negligence and reckless driving. In October, Russell pleaded guilty to both charges and was sentenced to six months probation.

Since then, prosecutors plan to have urine samples tested for chemicals found in fake marijuana if a driver appears to be high on it, prosecutors said.

The office has reached out to corrections officials, probation officers and legislators about what else can be done.

One of those lawmakers is state Rep. Ari Porth, D- Coral Springs, who also works as a prosecutor with the Broward State Attorney's Office. He said he plans to co-sponsor a bill that would classify synthetic marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug under Florida's drug laws. The bill would be similar to one soon to be introduced by state Sen. Stephen Wise, R-Jacksonville.

"I think parents have no idea how dangerous these substances are and how readily available," Porth said.

If the bill is passed during the next session of the legislature, the law would go into effect in the summer.

The DEA ban will give city and state officials time to figure things out, said Coral Springs City Commissioner Larry Vignola, who said rampant use among teens in the city has led him to look into introducing a local law to forbid it.

"With all these local governments trying to do something, it makes a lot more sense for the federal government to get involved," Vignola said.

They've been banning that K-2 stuff left and right around here since late spring and early summer this year, and more towns are voting on bans all the time. Apparently this shit has sent a few kids to the emergency room with heart problems, which has prompted the bans. It's some dangerous shit, and these stupid teens think it's the same as marijuana, but it effects the body in a much different, harmful way.

Another Disney chick going bad.

Disney will soon release the new Cinderella porn flick where all seven little dudes are running a train on Cinderella in the back of the blacksmith shop.

Not interested in trying Salvia. Give me weed or give me death! :D

Next thing you know we'll be hearing about Miley checking into a celebrity drug treatment center somewhere, before or after she does a spread for Playboy or Penthouse magazine. Hanna Montana is headed down that road, the same one that Britney and Lindsay traveled before her.

I wish Britney would have peeled it for Heff before she went nuts and her taco got sloppy. Miley needs to peel it now before she becomes a sloppy junky who has popped out some loser's sperm fruit.

What he said.

I haven't smoked pot for years but man did we have some great weed from Panama in the day. Keith Richards is right, the drugs were better in the old days.

[bueno bob]

Salvia IS some nasty shit. Great if you want a headache and nightmares though. To be honest, though, I'm not 100% sure she's not faking it or this "leak" was a completely planned incident to get her out of the whole "Disney" thing and break her into the new Megan Fox or whatever the fuck it is she thinks she wants to be in Hollywood now that Hannah Montana is basically over.

Hey, if it's legit though, I'll be the first in line to join the Miley High Club...

What in the hell is that?
