‘Spice’ ban as tests show legal herbal drug is as potent as cannabis

[steven johnson]

Another psychoactive herb is reined in.

A legal herbal drug which is sold around the country is to be banned after studies showed that it is as powerful as some strains of strong cannabis.
Spice, a herbal smoking mixture, is sold on the internet and in “head shops” as a legal high and nicotine-free smoke. In some cases it is even advertised as an “aromatic pot pourri”.
The smoking mixture, which has synthetic additives, comes slickly packaged in sealed pouches — holding just under an ounce — at a cost of about £30.
Although it purports to be an entirely natural mix of herbs and plants including Baybean and vanilla, the marijuana-type high that users get from Spice comes from a synthetic cannabinoid four or five times as potent as THC, the main psyschoactive substance in cannabis.

1. Right on! Because banning stuff is the best answer!

2. Is it banned in the US as well as the UK and more importantly

(at least as far as I'm concerned) does it have the same medicinal benefits as MJ?

8. So far it is still

for sale in the US. Do the google.

If the THC is the medicinal part (still uproven afaik), it should show the same medicinal benefits.

10. Thank you..

I'll definitely research this further. My husband has a degenerative disease and is in almost constant pain but we live on the border where there's contantly Border Patrol all over the place so we don't dare risk "illegal".

::sigh:: I really wish they'd just make MJ legal especially for medicinal. There are so many like DH that it might help that are afraid to use it because of it being illegal and the trouble they can get into. :(

Damn "them". Can't have anyone feeling good without a prescription now can we? And then, only to the degree MANDATED! :freak:s

OVERDOSING? On THC? Show me a single case!

He told the Oxford Mail: “Users have no idea what they are taking. As a result they are running a considerable risk of overdosing, which is not only unpleasant, but potentially quite dangerous.”

9. If it has any

"active" ingredients, the user will be 'satisfied' with very little substance. Lethal alcohol overdose can be achieved because someone can be stone faced drunk and still drink!

It is completely irrational. Of COURSE!
