    It’s not even a shittier version of weed; it’s whatever random chemical the supplier could find that’s legal that day and has vaguely weed-like effects in whoever they decided to test it on.

      Well, it’s a cluster of synthetic cannabinoids, but it was officially banned by the DEA after they finally skipped past the banning specific molecules and banned the entire family of cannabinoids, so it’s no longer the molecule of the month special.

      Still not ideal though.

        Cool, my information was pretty old. For once the DEA made a good decision. The main reason I quit using it pretty quickly was that I didn’t like the idea of getting different substances without warning.

          Yeah, I thought it was really neat at first, but it became pretty concerning once they started playing whack-a-mole with the compounds. Probably one of the few situations I also agree with the DEA, though, that’s partially contingent on legalizing marijuana instead so there’s no reason to deal with all these loopholes for people that just wanna get high. Just let them do it safely.

      Bingo. The only reason to smoke kush/spice/k2/whatever-other-dumb-name-the-marketing-comes-up-with is because you want brain damage. Smoke the real stuff, and you can avoid the permanent effects.
