Its been prohibited in most european countries longer than it has been banned in the US.

"Legal" alternatives have been circulating longer oversea's as well.

and the new spice stuff, i do wonder what the long term effects of that will be for people

I've never had a real problem with them, it just gives you 20 times worse the cotton mouth.

This is no joke, the shit will make your mouth rename itself Death Valley, and say GG.

Yeah I've tried about 12 kinds of them, cotton mouth has never been so bad. However, I'm curious what long term problems may arise.

A lot of the producers of the stuff keep changing the recipe to make it legal, I can go to pretty much ANY gas station and buy the spice.

Pot on the other hand, is not a treatable illness

It is not addictive, so of course it is not treatable. You can't treat no symptoms. I noticed you were talking about 19 years sober and work the program. So with alcohol you are chained to programs and counting for the rest of your life, but call that a treatment? C'mon man, that is not treatment, that is quitting every day, over and over.

You could flush a bag of weed, spend 2 days jonesing for a joint and be done with it. No recurring desire, no expensive programs and no need to count anything. 3 days without weed is no different than 500 years without weed. All this counting years is to give you an accomplishment to focus on. There is no accomplishment in quitting bud. Anyone can do it and it is really easy.

I quit smoking for 6 months to pass a pee test. It was the easiest thing I ever did in my whole life. I found myself around weed smokers within that 6 months and had no ADDICTIVE DESIRE to participate. Sure, I would have liked to smoke, cause I like to smoke. But there was no "urges" (like a nicotine fit).

Maybe you should smoke some weed, so you can understand it better. I smoked for over 20 years. My brain is fine. I do not currently smoke and I don't care about it one way or another. Also, marijuana is used in some cancer treatments (glaucoma) so I doubt that potheads had anything to do with your Mother's passing. Meth labs on the other hand are a toxic factory of death waiting to happen.

Your desire to kill people over habits that you do not fully understand is disturbing. Do some research my friend, your brain is wired to process THC, which is why it is not addictive. Addictions happen because you put a chemical in your body that tells your body to replace a natural chemical that you need. THC just gets processed straight out and doesn't "glitch/hack" your chemistry.

I'm not a pothead (anymore) or an advocate. It's just the facts bro.

Edit: about programs. Programs keep you focused intently on a problem. This means you can never escape. I lived in a bar hovered over a bottomless glass of Jameson for over 10 years. I decided that it was time to straighten up my life and I created my own "program". I cut back to drinking only on the weekends. I was very serious about it and I proceeded to drink on weekends for 2 more years. When that finally became common place and easy I ditched all my "friends" and totally quit. Here it is 8 years later and I am still sober. No programs, no problems, I never even think about it. I relied on ME to help me. It actually started in my one and only visit to AA. They wanted me to accept that I am powerless against alcohol. I literally said "You expect me to believe that the amazing sentient being that stands before you is powerless to a bottle of liquid - get fucked." and I left. I won and I didn't do it on their wimpy, no power terms. I am free for real. I am so free that I can enjoy a glass of wine over a romantic meal or a beer or 2 over a game of pool with the guys, without even considering "falling off the wagon". Is there a program to cure your addiction to The Program?
