The Drug Enforcement Administration announced Wednesday that it would use its emergency powers to ban synthetic marijuana for one year, giving pot dealers across the country something to be thankful for when they sit down before their turkeys this week.

The synthetic weed, known as "K2" or "spice" and generally sold in head shops, is popular among police officers, members of the military and others looking to avoid failing a drug test, said one hemp store owner who sells the product. The high from marijuana is created by its main active ingredient THC, but also by the plant's several dozen poorly understood cannabinoids. The DEA had banned any drug containing natural or synthetic THC, but has not addressed the cannabinoids.

Die Legalisierung des Drogenbesitzes ist unumgänglich

Wer heute den „Kick“ sucht, um dem tristen Alltag zu entfliehen, ist nicht mehr auf leider noch immer illegale Rauschmittel wie Marihuana oder Kokain und damit auf Geschäftsbeziehungen mit kriminellen Dealern lateinamerikanischer, türkischer oder afghanischer Drogen-Kartelle angewiesen. Er braucht lediglich ganz legale Webseiten wie etwa diese zu besuchen, auf denen freiwillige Testpersonen ihre Erfahrungen mit neuartigen Räuchermischungen schildern.

The question was considered by the Refugee Review Tribunal when a Cambodian man, jailed for smuggling drugs into Australia, applied for a protection visa after he was transferred to a detention centre on parole.

The man was carrying drugs when he was arrested on his arrival in Australia in 2006.
