IS FAKE POT STILL ILLEGAL TO PURCHASE IN SD?

You tell me.

You can still go into numerous smoke shops throughout SF and purchase ‘scent bags’ with the same potpourri in the sachets. As I understand, still the same stuff with a different description.

So what did the state legislature, or any legislature in the country accomplish by making it illegal? Not much. As I understand, from people who work in crime labs, they can just change a few ingredients and the (fake) purpose of the product and you usurp the law.

When is the justice system, law enforcement and legislators going to figure it out? Make naturally grown marijuana legal and you don’t have to worry about synthetic drugs. Heck, you don’t have to worry about billions of dollars a year going to Mexico, and you could tax the product at an almost 50% rate and turn our economy around.

OR, we can keep fighting these stupid little battles over synthetic drugs.

The Ugly Table #65

THE PROVERBIAL ‘PIED PIPER’

Excerpt from an online complaint;

“While our waiter was nice, he wasn’t really with it. And I couldn’t really figure out why everyone (staff and manager) were gathering around a particular table (A guy with long hair, middle-aged and overweight) like he was the proverbial ‘Pied Piper’ or ‘cult favorite.’

Gary is a regular who comes in about 4-5 times a week and many of the servers sit and talk to him (I try not to) so they can get out of working, I assume. The amazing part about Gary is that there is nothing special about him. He’s a truck driver by trade, dresses like Homer Simpson, and is basically full of shit. Glad a customer took notice. Other then that, the only thing interesting about him is that he tips 40%.
