Full story: Knoxville News Sentinel

It doesnt affect you like the reall weed does. Plus real weed isnt even a problem. It only affects a persons reacting time when its the first couple of times they have tried it. The Government only wants it illegal because they cant tax it. Oh well...it will get smoked cuz its a hell of alot better than some METH,COCAINE,PCP,HEROIN..ETC. Take your pick because its no where to the extent of what you ignorant ppl who have never tried it try to say. I am a weed smoker and more than likely always will be. And before you try to say something about my education....I have a BSN and thats nursing. So get over it...its fake!!!!

This stuff is synthetic and probably worse than pot, which grows naturally.

This stuff should be ban countrywide. I have a cousin who smoked it and nearly died. She seized passed out and stopped breathing. They linked what happened directly to the use of this crap. I would much rather be smoking a naturally grown herb than a chemically made incense like product. This stuff is harming people and should be banned.

Before one uses a mind altering drug, they should first have a mind. That pretty much rules out the south.

dude shut the hell up the south is home to some of the best universities in the states so dont say that dumb shit. I agree Jwh 7H and all that stuff should be avoided ive smoked it and ive done acid(never again) its more like acid than smokeing Doja believe me Weed isnt an issue this stuff is stick to what god has given us cause man made designer drugs like this one are absolutely no good also jwh or the sister chemicals that cause this "high" are more prone to become habit forming than THC and i can second that as well once i stop smoking 7H i was supper depressed and felt awful every day for about 3 weeks to a month
Stay away from synth products and just get a bag... at least theres no chance of you dying that way

See if they'd just legalize pot they wouldn't have to worry about people ingesting this poison. Which isn't even regulated anyone of any age can buy it.

Latley synthetics have become more of a problem then anything else. It seems that we are begining to see a new trend all together. With meth the "street pharmacist" became obsolete and was replaced by the "street chemists". Before our eyes things that have been unheard of since 1923 are now bought as "bath salts", and ingested frequently by drug users. The bath salts have become such a problem here. They are legal to buy, unfortunatly they can cause brain damage with the very first use. They are highly addicting, and can be consumed through almost any route. In severe cases and overdoses, the user is completly oblivious to pain and their surroundings. This makes a horrible situation for police, EMS and local emergency departments. Sedation and even pharmacological paralysis have been used to protect these persons from themselves. Some are sent to psychiatric care facilities, which are reporting severe changes in the persons long term mental health. I wish "pot" was the biggest worry I had for my children. The mentality I find in youg persons and users is "Why get in trouble, this stuff is legal." It is our jobs as parents to educate ourselves and our loved ones "LEGAL DOES NOT MEAN SAFE"! The "legal" marajuana is the same, full of chemicals. Different brands have different chemicals, yet the long term affects can be fatal. I have never heard of someone dying from smoking weed.

All drugs should be legalized and the morons encouraged to weed themselves out of the gene pool.

My parents are in all honesty addicted to this "legal weed." I do not smoke this stuff nor even marijuana, but I have sat back and watched the effects of this stuff. My mother quit her 120k per year job just so she could stay home and smoke this stuff with my father. They would rather buy this stuff than provide food for their family. They hardly ever come out of their bedroom. And when they are high on it, they can hardly make any sense of anything, or even hold their heads up or eyes open. They don't have but 5 dollars in their joint account. My father hasn't had a job in over 5 years. They used to be bad on bath salts, luckily though, they are no longer sold around here. I am embarrassed to type all of this even though this is somewhat anonymous. I wish this was a bad nightmare. I had a temporary job, unfortuneately the contract was up and now I am unemployed. I am hoping that I get my unemployment benefits soon. I am currently looking for a job aswell so I can move out of their house and live on my own, away from this crap I go through. I hate my family and just want nothing to do with them anymore. They are terribly addicted to SYNTHETIC WEED. That is embarrassing.

Hey Justin, if you're for real, I'm very proud of you for staying clean and trying to honestly work for your own support. Keep trying, don't ever give up and I know you'll be on the winning side. BTW, how old are you?

All of these synthetic drugs are horrible for you but if people are stupid enough to do it, then let them. The government should not people able to tell us what we can and cannot ingest into our systems. The drug war is a lost cause. I think people should research everything in great detail themselves before forming an opinion.

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Taurus

The sad fact is that a certain person isn't making much sense right now. They seem to be talking nonsense, or maybe they've got the wrong end of the stick but are hanging on to it for grim death and refuse to let you correct them. Mind you, there's also the possibility that you're the one who has got themselves in a muddle but doesn't realize it. Scary!
