Hey man, you’ve heard about this new K2 stuff? It’s just like pot, except totally legal (for now). That’s because it’s a synthetic potpourri-like substance that just happens to work on the same cannabinoid receptors in your brain that THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, does. And since we haven’t had a good War on Drugs story in awhile – because we won, right? – news channels are going cuckoo for K2.

K2, Marijuana, THC, this stuff will mess you uuuuuup, War on Drugs

I saw the segment on Fox in real time and although they did go into the harmful medical effects CNN’s report did a better more expansive job of it.

Why do you consider these reports a “war on drugs” story? I took them more as informational and cautionary.

The War On Drugs — the only thing that might make it seem successful is if one were to compare it, say, to the Bush Administration. Forty years +/- since Nixon made that declaration of war and how’s that working out?

Peter Doocy?

Otherwise, it’s time for a strategic withdrawal or conditional surrender in the drug war, but unfortunately, it’s not a can of worm the administration would like to open and Congress haven’t been making many moves.
