News » DEA Declares Synthetic Pot A Schedule 1 Substance





The Drug Enforcement Administration said it plans to impose an emergency ban on the active ingredients in the marijuana substitutes known as K2 or spice. The products consist of dried herbs, supposedly sold as incense, that have been sprayed with synthetic cannabinoids.

This product such as K2, has become very popular across the country for its marijuana-like high without the legal ramifications of smoking especially by teens.

The emergency ban will last a year, during which the DEA will “further study whether these chemicals and products should be permanently controlled.” There’s not a lot of suspense about the outcome of that process.
