A few years ago, chemists invented Marinol, the prescription version of pot. These synthetic pot pills supposedly worked just like regular weed, except that they take an hour (rather than minutes) to kick in. They're also super expensive, often $700 for 30 pills.
Some people in China and Korea apparently took another crack (no pun intended) at synthesizing THC. Their product is currently being sold in the US under the name K2. It's also known as Sunset Gold and Nirvana.
I learned about it from a Discordian who is on parole, and smokes K2 because it's still legal and doesn't show up on drug tests. A few states are in the early stages of banning it, but it's still legal in everywhere in the US.

http://www.wsbtv.com/news/22708093/detail.html
The current media reaction focuses on the lack of clinical data about the drug, but apparently, the results are already in. They use words like, "addictive and dangerous" and "looming menace". I'm pretty sure we'll see drugs like K2 and Salvia slowly be outlawed because they don't fit within the double-standard of acceptable drug use in the US. (ie, speed is bad for you, unless you have a prescription)
I wonder though, if the results come in clean, if there will still be a witch hunt. Ecstasy turned out to be relatively clean (at least, the E that was being sold in the mid 90s... all over the glove, E quality has gone down while prices rise), and in fact is quite useful in treating certain types of ailments, but it's still considered FECKING CRIMINAL by the law.
This is unrelated, but Regret linked me to an article about Meow Meow (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/expert_advice/article6989754.ece), something they're calling the "new ecstasy". It is only mentioned here because of the following quote:
Quotethere have been a number of people admitted to hospital with bizarre side-effects, including a teenage boy, who is reported to have had such severe hallucinations that he ripped off his scrotum.
have you guys heard anything about either of these?

Well, thank goodness for those states. We can't have people running around all
unregulated, you know. They know what's good for you, Cram, and they'll keep you safe from this shit if it
kills you. After all, a ruined life due to draconian drug laws is a small price to pay for avoiding the hideous dangers of drugs, right?

QuoteWhat does it feel like?
Everyone's subjective opinions are different but the overall impression is that MMCAT is
like a cocaine version of MDMA (Ecstasy). User reports indicate some of the same
"loved-up" feeling of MDMA – but not to the same extent, with the euphoria, reward
and ego of cocaine – but again not to the same extent. Alongside all this, some
significant stimulant effects including increased energy, restlessness, increased heart-rate
and jaw-clenching.
Some people feel increased libido while using but others report reduced erectile
function.
Sounds like scrotum boy thought it was a good idea to use about 20 times the recommended dose and/or combine with other stuff.

I've heard of the synthetic, "invisible to test" weed - alikes. I know one old stoner dude who gets them from a local head shop, where they charge $30 for a golf ball sized jar of the stuff. He testifies it's the same kind of high.
Unrestricted recreational folicle growth, however, can damage your chromosomes, scare women, and may send errant hairs into your brain, making you think you're having fun while the devil stache controls your actions.

The article on Meow Meow seems like it's BS, or at least not well-researched. It calls Salvia "herbal ecstasy". Isn't salvia divinorum a potent hallucinogen with a fundamentally different affect than ecstasy?
Damn, I'm not sure why, but after reading this, I really feel like getting a stash of 'stache...

You know the problem with Stache? It only works for men. Now I'm capable of growing one, a really ugly one, but still, I prefer an equal opportunity high, I go with shaving. Anyone can do it, softcore shavers shave their face if they're male, or their legs and armpits if female, but from there it can expand, there's always the top of the head, there's the genitals, for those of us with naturally fuzzy bodies there are all sorts of things which can be shaved.
