Fairfield Weekly: The DEA Cracks Down on Fake Weed
On Nov. 24, the DEA used its emergency powers to outlaw a range of heretofore legal ”synthetic marijuana blends,” creatively marketed as “incense.” When the ban comes into effect at the end of December, the chemicals used in K2, Spice and related products will officially become controlled substances, illegal to use, possess or sell.In a written statement, DEA acting administrator Michele M. Leonhart summed up the government’s view: “Makers of these harmful products mislead their customers into thinking that ‘fake pot’ is a harmless alternative to illegal drugs, but that is not the case. Today’s action will call further attention to the risks of ingesting unknown compounds and will hopefully take away any incentive to try these products,” said Leonhart.
And with that, the DEA killed a legal buzz, the likes of which this country may have never known.

Nope, it's not your imagination at all.
Connecticut's broke because we've been spending a lot more money than we have.
While household income has been fairly flat.
