Fake Pot is Now Illegal Via DEA Emergency Ban on Chemicals Used to Make It

Posted Mar 01 2011 5:20pm

K2, Spice, Blaze and Red X Dawn are some of the products mentioned below and image users smoke the contents for the buzz.  Emergency rooms across the US have been experiencing patients with over doses of the “fake pot”.  High blood pressure, elevated heart rates, vomiting are some of the side effects. 

If you watch the video the doctor talks about the difference between real and fake pot.  It seems the opposite effects are experienced instead of mellowing out.  BD  

As I wrote here last week, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) had previously warned that it would place an emergency ban on five "legal high" substances commonly used in so-called fake marijuana.

Before 9 a.m. Tuesday, the DEA announced that the emergency ban goes into effect today.  That means that selling fake pot products like K2, Spice, Blaze and Red X Dawn — if they continue to include synthetic cannabinoids JWH-018, JWH-073, JWH-200, CP-47,497, or cannabicyclohexanol — is now officially illegal.

In the past, manufacturers of such products did not stop selling "fake pot," but simply switched to using similar chemicals that are still legal — something that is likely to occur rapidly under the new ban.
