DEA ban violates Executive order 12291

The DEA ban on 5 indoles that mimic the effects of THC on the cannibinoid receptor will take effect Dec.24 , 2010. These indoles were found to be as harmless as marijuana and are currently in lab studies for PTSD among other ailments just like marijuana.
Executive Order 12291 ( http:bit.ly/eo12291 ) Clearly states that the DEA shall not place emergency bans on any products that would adversely effect the US economy by more than $100 million per year.
K-2 is the most commonly reported brand, however there are at least 6 big brands and a dozen small local manufacturers. K-2 alone posted $80 million in sales.
1 Lexington KY shop did $250,000 in retail sales for March 2010, KY banned herbals in April.This shop sold herbal incense to responsible adults, and for the 14 months they were allowed by their state gov. to do so hired 12 new employees, and purchased another mom and pop shop that would have closed.
We all agree your children should not have these products, that is why the credible manufacturers put "not for sale to minors" right on the package.
And finding a treated herbal incense in a pipe or rolled into a cigarette would be covered by the inhalents laws already in place.

    • Stop the fascists! This ban will cost thousands of jobs,Take well over 100 million dollars out the economy. My company (if it survives) will require layoffs,cancellation of health and other benefits and hurt many people. Spice isn't hurting anyone and anyone who tells you different is a LIAR!
