My first thought when I heard about this stuff was, "Must be a similar situation to what's going on with the prohibition of Salvia Div. Extract in some states". After doing some research and reading thru this forum tho, I'd have to say I have a very different opinion on a so-called "innocent" smoke/incense that is getting a bad wrap. Salvia is not addictive. It's a short psychadelic trip that you receive from smoking this pure herbal source, where people are going to their homes or comfortable places to do this ONCE IN A WHILE. During this SHORT 10-20 min trip, there is laughing, increased state of consiousness, and other great effects that I think can be eye opening, yet safe for the individual who is looking to experiment or take their mind to another level for a bit. Sure it has it's negative effects. But lets be honest tho, kids aren't blazing salvia in their school halls and doing stupid shit. I'm sure it's happened, but we're talking lottery odds here. Now, this Spice in my opinion has gone a little too far. Google 'herbal smoke'. You'll see it's shit with very similar ingredients as the spice. It's labeled as basically fake, legal marijuana that still can give you similar effects. They even put marijuana-like buds on the label for marketing and implications of what it is to immitate. Although from what I've read, it can make you feel really sick, nausea, increased body temp, ... Now it's all over schools (which I can't say I'm too down with), and it could be a health risk to the people smoking it (majority - youth). Doesn't seem like there's really any other way to regulate it. Raising the sales age won't do much. It'll always funnel back down.
I say make it illegal, and can we FINALLY f***ing legalize cannabis nationwide? And for all you spice smoking kids. Stop smoking that shit, stop skipping class to go burn fake shit, and go buy a damn bag of weed AFTER school! =) hahaha
