U. S. Sailors And Snythetic Weed

By: M. Breeze
With the stress that U.S. Sailors and Marines face over seas they are starting to turn to synthetic marijuana for that "buzz" of the moment I should say. Apparently the rising concern of one particular brand which is known as SPICE has the pentagon concerned about the rising numbers of reported use. The military has also launched a serious operation against those Sailors and Marines who use the synthetic marijuana. Look at these numbers. 2 years ago 29 Sailors and Marines turned positive for use of the banned substance. This year alone there were a documented number well over 700. The Air Force has punished 497 airmen so far this year, compared to last year's 380, according to figures provided by the Pentagon. The Army does not track Spice investigations but says it has medically treated 119 soldiers for the synthetic drug in total.

Personally I've never smoked Spice and I don't plan on doing it. Synthetic Marijuana lol, are you serious? But I do know people who do and most of them are on probation are who have jobs that require drug testing and they don't want to get caught smoking marijuana and risk losing their jobs. Understandable, well if that's the case then don't smoke it or don't judge those who do. With the amount of stress these guys face on a daily basis they deserve some kind of fun. Beer equals to DWI's so what are they to do? I guess that we can all just be normal????
