10 What Does Spice Look Like? It is usually sold in 1 to 3 gram packages Similar appearance to marijuana or dried plant material

11

12 Synthetic Cannabinoids A Class of Research Chemicals Technically a classified as toxic poisons on MSDS Chemical designed to attach to the same brain receptors as THC CB1 & CB2 Up to 500 times more potent than THC Full Agonist vs. Partial Agonist

13 Crazy Clown Newly Synthetized Chemical 250 Hospitalization and 7 Deaths in Colorado AB Pinacca

14 Bath Salts Synthetic Stimulants (Synthetic Cathinones) Jewelry Cleaner Pipe Cleaner Bromo Dragonfly Benzo Fury (6-APB) MDPV Molly (Not MDMA) Bath Salts

15 Other Synthetic Compounds 25I NBOMe or any 25x NBOMe (AKA smiles, Nbomb) Often mistaken for acid/lsd Linked to several deaths Hallucinogen, blotter paper, or liquid 2C Series, phenaphylamines, dimethyoxy Piperazines, industrial chemical Tryptamines, synthetically produced to like plant material Etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.,

16 Russian Roulette! MYSTERY PACKAGE Unknown chemical(s) Unknown Potency Makers change chemicals regularly without notice

17 Toxic Poison Material Safety Data Sheets categorize synthetic cannabinoids as Toxic, Poison New Psychoactive Substance s Brand New to the Earth enter the market at a rate of 1 per week (UN) Never Existed on Earth Before

18 Lab Rats Newly Synthesized Chemicals Never seen on earth before Very few human studies have been done on these New Psychoactive Substances Preliminary Findings are very concerning

19 Mislabeling and Misbranding No Manufacture on Label No instructions on Proper Use No Ingredients listed other than the Plant Material No Warning on label

20 Side Effects Agitation Rapid Heart Rate Vomiting Anxiety Panic Attacks Excessive Sweating Respiratory Distress Cardiac Arrest Seizures Hallucinations Depression Twitching Extreme Violence High Blood Pressure Stroke Heart Attack Paranoid Delusions Inability to Feel Pain Inability to Control Temperature Feelings of Impending Doom or Death Temporary Paralysis Exaggerated Thought of Suicid Death Indefinite Psychosis Kidney Failure Paranoia

22 The Days of Experimentation are Over Marijuana Laced with Synthetic Cannabinoids More people dying after one-time use More people suffering with long-term disabilities after one-time use Mystery Package Higher potential to commit serious crimes that are completely out of character

23 What do we know? NOT MUCH Few Human Trials Accurate Statistics require positive test results Reports from users, medical professionals, law enforcement, and organizations

24 Marketing Targeted to Young People Flavors and Packaging Blueberry Grape Hypnotic Cotton Candy Bubble gum Strawberry Root Beer Banana

25 All Drugs currently illegal in the U.S. have started out as Legal (uncontrolled) Substances Heroin Cocaine Marijuana Ecstasy (MDMA) LSD Amphetamine Many of these sat on the shelf for years before becoming popular intoxicants

26 Life Life is about the ups and downs, the being born and dying. Why we need a mother s comfort not just when we are young, but when we grow up too. Why we need someone to love and be loved back. How life can be so good one day and so bad the next. How life is so precious, so live each day like it s your last. What drives us? Why do we work so much and buy so much that we have no time left for anything else? Why don t we just relax and enjoy life as it is, instead of always trying to add to what we have? We don t run stress, stress runs us. And, it runs us down hard. Life is good, so treasure it. Do what makes you happy. --Max Dobner
