That’s a nice synopsis. Thanks again.
“and praying that some dumb kid doesn’t kill himself.’
Or at least that the death does not get traced back to them. Pretty irresponsible.
Similar to the cats who sell something like 2C-T-7 in a little bag and expect their customers to be able to eyeball 5 milligrams without a scale.
>>I’m not a pot smoker but just out of curiosity: how easy is it to distinguish the real from the synthetic. I don’t want kids smoking any of it but I hope they can steer clear of the obvious danger here.
Well, it’s not easy because you can order and smoke the pure powder, or put in on your tongue and trip on it too. The synthetic weed doesn’t have the pungent, weed-like smell, but to be honest it’s so easy for kids to get weed nowadays that the synthetic weed scene is reserved for the hardcore smokers that want to push the boundaries. The stuff is just that strong.
Welcome, proud to be of service.
So anyone selling synthetic brags that it’s synthetic?
It still doesn’t fix the article though.

Well, the “gas station Spice” packs are slowly being taken off the market. It’s very rare that you see them anywhere anymore; in the late 2000’s/early 2010’s you could find them pretty readily. You see the chemicals here and there for sale as a powder on the internet, and that’s really what kills people. As the government bans more and more basic cannabinoid synthetics, they get more and more wild and damaging.
So there’s CB1 receptors all over the place and because this chemical is so efficient, it wreaks havoc. Ah, so THC goes after the CB1 receptors that are all over the place too? but it is ok because it is less efficient?
Can't be true - FR's Drug Warriors tell me pot fuels jihad.
LOL
While I stopped smoking pot over a decade ago ( I was a small scale grower, smoked up to a quarter a day, and my short term memory is only now coming back strong) the only jihad it caused in me was violent munchies.
And I had my grand epiphany about conservatism while tripping on mushrooms.
YMMV, I live a clean life now, and fortunately never had any legal woes during my old one.
