I wish kget would do a sting on some of these stores like cigarette world that are refusing to stop selling spice because they are making more of a profit than ever. Considering that three out of the four cigarette worlds are within a stones throw away from a high school.

Our government has allowed Muslims to enter our country and give them money to run a business and free education. They ruin our children with so-called "incense". They are basically killing us and we don't even know it. Soon their people will be taking over the world.

If Spice is illegal how do they sell it?

I have been where this mother is at. I had to watch the doctors work on my 16 year old daughter and try to bring her back for the effects of this spice. She spent 3 days in the ICU due to it. When i confronted the person who sold it to her i was told "oh well if your child is stupid enough to smoke it then i will sell it to her" It took all i had not to go over the counter after this lady.

I have to laugh at the doctor quoted as saying this is so new that the long term effects aren't known yet. Well, based on the short term effects I would say the future of these users is pretty grim. How about fried brain activity, major organ failure and eventually death. If it is illegal, it should not be sold for any purpose, we all know that when people buy it they aren't going to use it as incense. As for the mother in this story, I don't even know how to tell you how sad I am for you. The best advice is to find some type of special school/center away from this environment, way out in the country that is monitored 24x7 for long term care and education. May sound cliche but Dr. Phil has done allot with kids like this, might be worth an email to him for your daughter.

Thank God there is awareness on this, it's about time. I worry more and more for my children with all these strange drugs coming out. It's bad enough with alcohol and pharmaceuticals out there. Something can be done to stop this, but it's whether or not our local officials care enough. They seem to be more worried about demonizing medical cannabis at the moment. Seems as though they have their priorities backwards.

I don't know how ordinances work, but it seems that if so called 'blue laws' preventing the sale of frozen goods in stores, or the sale of alcohol in certain counties can be passed, there should be a way to pass an ordinance saying 'SPICE' can not be sold in certain Counties as well. Its just a thought, but maybe someone with the knowledge of how these matters work will read this, and find a way to prohibit the sale of this horrible 'incense'.
