Hello, folks. Have been lurking here for a little while studying my current obsession which is synthetic cannabinoids. I only recently became aware of the existence these chemicals when I was trying to find out what was in a powder I bought from a herb shop. All it really said was “incense only, not for human consumption”, so I googled that and been fascinated since. I still don’t know what that powder is, I suspect it’s just Kanna or some other thing that doesn’t do much.
All this “herbal incense” is banned where I am so I’ll have to go interstate one of these days and experience them for myself. Of course I have found a thousand horror stories about overdose. I did that once with some brownies I made, first time I’d used buds in the butter instead of leaf. You know the thing “oh this isn’t working I better have a couple more” and a very unpleasant night ensued. All the same symptoms that these noid OD stories contain, except it lasted for hours.
That certainly didn’t put me off weed, just taught me that it is possible to overdo it. Despite the ocean of recommendations to stay away I have seen several accounts from people who actually like the herbal incense and I won’t be satisfied until I can make up my own mind.
Quite envious of you folks in UK at the moment where the laws about RCs seem to be evolving very differently to the way they are here; where the Attorney-General has the power to immediately declare any new chemical an “interim controlled substance”. You can literally buy a product that the police have never seen and it be illegal before you even get it home. This happened recently when one of the local newspapers was having a slow day and wanted to stir up some news.
Detailed information about the legality of these things and about prosecution of these vague laws is notoriously difficult to find; I suspect it’s even a bit of a mystery to law makers themselves at the moment which only adds to the intrigue.
So anyway, very nice to find a place where people actually discuss this in an informative and unbiased manner.
Cheers!
