Brattleboro Reformer, 20 Jul 2012 – Editor of the Reformer: Regarding your July 13 editorial, the use of synthetic marijuana is an unintended side-effect of the war on natural marijuana. Consumers are turning to potentially toxic drugs made in China and sold as research chemicals before being repackaged as legal incense. Expanding the drug war will do little other than add to what is already the highest incarceration rate in the world. Chinese chemists will tweak formulas to stay one step ahead of the law and two steps ahead of the drug tests. New versions won’t be safer. Misguided efforts to protect children from drugs are putting children at risk.
