Legal High?

 Herbal Incense seems to be all the new rave. They call it legal marijuana, or a legal high. They say you can smoke this and still pass a drug test, if your worried about losing your job or on probation.

Herbal Smoke or Herbal Incense can be found all over the Internet, in your local convenience stores, smoke shops, even on EBay. Prices starting at around ten dollars and going upwards from there.

The most talked about is K2 its all over the news and has been banned form eight states so far. I'm not exactly sure what the big to-do is about, as you would say I am a non-smoker of this type of substance. Some claim it only takes a few hits and your as stoned or better than if you just smoked the real thing. Some claim it made them feel sick while others can do nothing but rave about its effects. Meanwhile each and every package is marked not for human consumption. But they still smoke it. WHY?

The active ingredient to the herbal incense is known as JWH 018, it is a synthetic cannabinoid they gives the same effect as THC but stronger. JWH 018 was created by Dr. John W. Huffman an organic chemist in 1995. JWH 018 is an estimated 5 times stronger than THC. The herbal incense is said to contain organic foliage, extracts, and compounds.

I was a work last week when approached by a wholesale distributor that went through his entire spiel and at the end he stated we carry K2. I will admit I am ignorant to this type of thing and lifestyle. I asked what is K2. As he stood there and explained to me the product and its uses he also explained how his company just this summer alone has already sold 93,000 units. Crap, how could I not get in on this and have a product that is in high demand that would help me pay my bills. That's where the moral dilemma came into play, I already refuse to carry merchandise that is know to be purchased by crack users. So at this time, the moral debate continues within, pay my bills or stand up for what I believe to be good and true. I can at this point tell you I don't know which side of me will win out.

All anyone needs to do is google herbal incense and you will come up with 388,000 result. Herbal smoke incense 667,000 and K2 herbal 532,000. I am most positive this will only grow as people learn about the herbal incense products and it gains popularity as the legal marijuana or legal high.

I have read online peoples personal experiences with K2, some quite interesting and humorous. Some quite disheartening and scary. This needs to be your personal choice and always remember each and every package is marked not for human consumption. Do you think that most believe you just don't eat it and its OK to smoke it. Wouldn't smoking it be consumption?

I would really like to know what you think about herbal incense and my current dilemma I need to settle this, as every product has a life cycle.
