Harm, Toxicity of Synthetic Marijuana Unknown

Many people are using and selling legal (for now) synthetic marijuana under brand names such as Spice and K2.   However, the substance is new and not regulated by the FDA.  While I do not recommend prohibition to solve the problem of substance abuse, I do think some control is needed with these products - especially because they are being marketed (like tobacco and alcohol) to young people and the true effects are not known (short, medium, or long term).

Read more about these substances here:  http://host.madison.com/news/local/chris_rickert/chris-rickert-real-pot-preferable-to-new-synthetic/article_e1d732d6-eb2d-11e1-96ba-0019bb2963f4.html
