Teens are getting high on an emerging drug called "fake weed," a concoction also known as K2 and "spice" that is also causing hallucinations, vomiting, agitation and other dangerous effects.

In the last month, Dr. Anthony Scalzo, a professor of toxicology at Saint Louis University, has seen nearly 30 cases of teenagers experiencing these adverse effects after smoking the fake weed, a legal substance that reportedly offers a marijuana-like high.

Maybe this is what Obammy is putting in his cigarettes. That is why he has delusions that he can pass his healthcare reform.

I think I’d rather lick a frog or eat a mushroom from cow dung that smoke this stuff.

You ever eat a mushroom from cow dung? I did when I was a kid.

BAM!!!

well.....as long as you do not end up on some congressional panel inquiring into the moves that Massa made on you after smokin some K2 in some bathhouse in Thailand.....then all is well..

At least parts of Missouri (ie some counties) already have.

My paper had an angry editorial about the banning in the Sunday edition : 'No proof K2 is harmful, so we'll ban it anyway, just in case'-the writer called it an egregious example of the "nanny state" mentality.

I’m guessing this is salvia based? But they’ve added other stuff to it.

All I remember was having a tea party with Jesus, Elvis, Buddha, and Joni Mitchell and almost getting into a fist fight with what later turned out to be a parking meter.

[windcliff]

Wow it even causes vomiting—what fun.

[windcliff]

Once with Jethro.
