See the results of Salt and Spice first hand maybe you’ll change your mind. These drugs cause permanent brain damage, paranoia, aggression and heart failure,it is worse than METH. We are importing these drugs from India and Pakistain, these are extremely dangerous and change the personalities of those that use. Our tax $$’s are having to pay scientist to come up with additional strains of the chemicals to keep changing the laws. Florida currently has a law making 42 strains of the chemicals illegal, then the makers just change one component in chemical to fly under the radar. As of October 2012 new law will be passed changing to 142 strains of the chemical. If you have children (adult children as well) or grandchildren you need to know everything you can on this subject this is no laughing matter. Thank you Law Enforcement for these raids we need and will be seeing more of them.

What do the effects of spice have to do with legalizing marijuana? I have been an avid proponent of legalized marijuana for medical, industrial, and recreational uses LONG before this horrid abomination called ’spice’ ever hit the shelves. If you want to keep with the status quo I recommend you keep watching your Reefer Madness, FOX news, and taking every U.S. Government funded study for the 100% God’s honest truth instead of doing your own research and thinking for yourself. I bet if the Bible said marijuana was to be made use of there would be an uproar to make it legal again.

Until our younger generation sees for themselves the effects of things such as spice they will never quit barking the words “leagalize marijuana”. They will have to first see cardiovascular bombs that the medical community has been talking about for years. The only arguement I always hear is “you have never seen a guy high go rob somebody or kill people with his car” That is probabaly true, but I guess sleeping all day, missing work and killing a buffet one plate at a time is somehow a good thing?

When your chest looks like you swallowed an m-80 right before it exploded maybe then they will speak from education not from addiction.

“somebody needs to inform these pigs that NOT ALL SPICE COMPOUNDS ARE ILLEGAL”

Ever heard of such a thing as the Federal Analogue Act? The wording of the law is a little funny, but chances are with the addition of JWH-018, and CP-47,497, and HU-210 to the schedule 1 roster; almost every synthetic cannabinoid would fall under that act due to being both similar in effect and chemical make-up to a schedule 1 narcotic.

Same with the MPDV, mephedrone, and methylone, aka bath salts.

Also, if anyone thinks marijuana was made illegal because of it ‘being unsafe,’ research what William Randolph Hearst, the DuPont Company, and Andrew Mellon had to do with the legislation and how much money was at stake because of the hemp industry. Realize that marijuana has other uses than just being an intoxicant, and those specific reasons are why it is illegal; not the welfare of the people. Note that ‘hemp’ had been grown in the US long before these laws, and that ‘marihuana’ is what became illegal. They had to use a Spanish word not in the English vocabulary to demonize hemp because the general populace knew what hemp was. That would be like trying to make something we all know and love illegal by saying “Have you heard of this demon called KA’HAWA? (arabic for coffee) The terrorists drink it and it makes them go mad. BAN IT!”

As long as alcohol is legal, people will scoff at the absurdity of pot being illegal. The justice department is trying to walk both sides of the street. I suggest you research key players in the liquor industry and see where the money and power are connected, who benefits? I am sure men such as Edgar Broffmann, Time Warner/Segrams Liquors, would have no objection to making alcohol illegal, for a better society. The truth may not set you free, but you should know it anyway.

OMG… somebody needs to inform these pigs that NOT ALL SPICE COMPOUNDS ARE ILLEGAL. i’m almost certain that this i just a political stunt performed by the FDLE. knowing how police work, they likely don’t care if the products are illegal or not. nor do they care whether or not they confiscating thousands of dollars worht of glassware unfairly.

I gotta a kick how they made this sound like such an evil drug but they left the cigarettes and alcohol on the shelf.. I guess they don’t have a good enough lobbyist to get their drug approved like the other companies do..
