Its all over the blogs.  That fake weed K2 has been banned in St. Charles apparently because for a second there, a child enjoyed himself in St. Charles and that crap just can’t keep happening.

Besides the fact that the poor emo kids that are too pussy to buy real weed are now really sad and won’t stop watching their Twilight DVD, something else amazing happened! Channel 4, KMOV, learned a little bit about how America works.  Good for them.

“K2 ban means less business for St. Charles store owner“

Tabbat’s store [the South 94 Bait and Tackle Trading shop] sells fishing tackle and smoking supplies, but business was slow until K2 came along. The owner admits there were days when her sales reached $7,000.

Now Tabbat’s customers are going to St. Louis County to buy K2, which means she will have to make job cuts. “The sad thing is I had hired three people, said Tabbat. “Now, I am going to have to lay them off.”

Oh. So making something illegal makes things tough on people trying to sell it legally huh?  I had no idea. That is so strange. How did all those bars make do during the prohibition?

….

According to Wikipedia, not well.

The Globe-Democrat has a message for all you little rich kids that have plenty of money but not enough to buy yourself big enough rocks to buy actual pot:

A local doctor says young adults who smoke K2 or “fake weed” to achieve a similar high as received from smoking marijuana, may suffer serious reactions instead.

K2 is a dried herb legally sold in at least four shops in the St. Louis area in three gram packages for $30 to anyone over the age of 18.

The herb comes in multiple flavors including green apple, summit, pineapple express and strawberry.

Employees who work at shops that carry K2 said it is intended to be burned as incense–but some are smoking the substance to get high.

Well, gosh.  Who would smoke this?  Clearly no one is trying to get little wanna-be pot-heads to smoke this with perfectly benign names like Pineapple Express.  What?  Oh.  I’ve just been told Pineapple Express is a movie about pot.  I stand corrected.

What do the kids think?

One girl from Fort Zumwalt South High School said a lot of students at her school smoke K2 because they are on probation and can’t smoke marijuana.

“It does say not for consumption on the package and that makes me kind of wonder what’s in it,” she said. “But if you don’t smoke more than what’s in the bag you’re fine.”

She added K2 is popular among teens because it is legal and doesn’t show up in drug tests.

Her friend laughed and agreed.

“I can pass a drug test now for once in my life,” he said.

Awesome.  We look forward to being mugged by him in a few years.
