Regardless of who he plays for, this shouldn't happen to a young person like this. I pray that he will survive this and turn his life around.

I've heard a good deal about spice, but have never seen it personally. I always hear it called "synthetic marijuana". What exactly is the basis for that (serious question)? As far as I've known, smoking trees generally doesn't put one in the ICU.

Please indulge an old guy - WTF is "spice" ?

[notsofarawaydawg]

Spice will kill you. I've seen how it affects a person up close and it's nothing to be messing around with. It's basically chemicals mixed to give you a high but in the end it will kill you. The one person I saw who was smoking the stuff basically became unresponsive to anything he was told. Others get all crazy and hysterical. You never know what's really in the stuff and how it's going to negatively affect you.

[Dallas_Dawg]

Please indulge an old guy - WTF is "spice" ?

Spice is synthetic marijuana. It used to be sold legally but became illegal once kids started dying from it.
Football players smoke it instead of marijuana because it does NOT show up on a drug test. Real marijuana, which is less harmful than a cigarette, beer, OR a cheeseburger does show up on a drug test.

This is a major flaw in the system and as marijuana becomes legalized in more places, the NCAA rules are going to have to be changed. This goes for normal people taking drug tests for jobs as well. Hopefully these issues are addressed sooner than later because marijuana will be legal across the US in the next 10 years.

On another note, Mississippi should try to be the first Southern state to legalize, think of all the money that could be brought in to fix the public schools and the jobs it would create. Colorado is absolutely booming right now

Please indulge an old guy - WTF is "spice" ?

All of this began because some chemists developed synthetic cannabinoids for research purposes. They published the results of their efforts to create the synthetic cannabinoids, which can be made using readily available chemicals, and you can guess what happened from there...some folks started making the synthetics and spraying them on herbs and bath salts for sale; labeling them as bath bombs, potpourri, etc. but marketing them with the understanding that people would buy them to smoke them.

"Spice" and other brands that sell themselves as "synthetic pot" are synthetic, but they're hardly the same as pot. One of my wife's colleagues specializes in drug abuse/addiction issues, and he said that spice/K2 users present more like amphetamine abusers than pot smokers. There are no quality controls on a lot of this stuff...there may be multiple synthetics sprayed on the same material, and there may be little on some of the material and insanely high concentrations on other material in the same package. So even if you have experience with it, you really have no way to be sure how much you're taking in. The synthetics bind far more efficiently to the same receptors in the brain that THC hits, so they hit hard. These receptors are basically everywhere in the brain, and the body has a tougher time clearing the synthetics from your system. In short, you have multiple synthetics that bind much better than THC, are long-lasting, and hit several areas of the brain at once.

Very good! You get an A+ for your research! I would add this: the packaging material and synthetic powder substance are both available on the internet for purchase. This means that anyone can buy it, grab a solvent and a substrate (something to spray it on that will burn), package it up and sale it...the buyer has NO IDEA what is in the package. Case in point, the state recently had a rash of people becoming very ill from smoking spice, I think it was around 100 people hospitalized over one weekend. The spice that they had been sold was not spice at all. The "manufacturer" wanted to save money so he bought the packaging but decided to "invent" his own synthetic marijuana...what he invented (from all accounts) was a compound composed of diluted rat poison which he sprayed on the substrate and then he sold it as spice to a bunch of ignorant college kids.

This is really nothing new in college football. Spice is the same stuff that Tyrann Mathieu http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/7128059/lsu-tigers-tyrann-mathieu-tharold-simon-spencer-ware-tested-positive-sources-say and the Auburn 2011 football team http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2013/4/5/4185058/auburn-football-spice-synthetic-marijuana-espn got in "trouble" over. My question is if it is detectable from a urine test and if so, how many has he failed previously before this incident?

[turkish]

We had a guy talk to us about this at work. Pretty sickening stuff. Spice is completely unregulated but produced synthetically. When you use it, you're basically smoking a chemical created perhaps in some idiot's basement. It could be closer to rat poison than marijuana, and in some cases is.

On the detection front, spice is a term for any of dozens or hundreds of chemicals used in this fashion. There are tests for some, not all.

[Bubb Rubb]

Real marijuana, which is less harmful than a cigarette, beer, OR a cheeseburger does show up on a drug test.

Some of this falls back on Freeze and his liberal drug policies. It is common knowledge about the brothers and drugs and they are not alone. I hate it for the kid but the Right Reverand should be repenting now too. win at all costs, the Bear motto.

[LC Dawg]

I obviously don't know the extent of this but if he's in ICU its serious. I don't know if he used spice but spice kills people. There was a high school classmate of my kids that stayed in ICU unresponsive for a few weeks before coming around. A lot of us did stupid stuff when we were younger but I continue to be surprised at the number of young people who use this stuff knowing how many cases like this have happened.

[CJDAWG85]

Doesn't matter about him as a football player right now. Let's just pray he's ok and learns from this incident. Spice is scary and the fact people still smoke it after all of the deaths it's caused, baffles me.

Threat level is down on campus in Oxford... that is about the only positive. No one wishes a kid ill but this one was a time bomb... Ole Miss fans know it, and they know a lot of the worst is kept quiet. I hope he recovers. learns from the experience and goes home.

Ha, yeah, back when Spice was first getting a lot of attention, I agreed to review a report my wife's colleague wrote on the issue before he sent it to the NY Health Dept. The scientific research used to justify current policy on marijuana (save for restricting access to juveniles) may not be terribly compelling, but the case against synthetics is overwhelming. I'm not a big fan of either, but I'd much rather have to deal with someone who's stoned on high THC medicinal marijuana than someone who's smoking whatever version of Spice they happened to get their hands on. With some of what's been reported on Denzel's behavior, though, it would explain quite a bit...hope he gets past this wiser and cleaner going forward.

[HSVDawg]

Its more money for the state on the order of billions in tax revenue. Whether that actually fixes the issues with the schools is irrelevant. More money for the poorest state in the country can in no way be construed as a bad thing.

Dude, It's legal in 3 states and more are pushing for it. There are way more successful people smoking marijuana now than you will ever know.

Lost in all of this is that poor guy (OM fraternity guy) that the Nkemdiche bros. purposely put in the ICU for an extended period of time. Perhaps if the Lafayette County justice system had actually prevailed in that situation, DN might not have had an opportunity to make yet another terrible decision. He should be behind bars. I hope that he recovers and straightens his life out. I hate that he was stupid enough to take whatever drug he now suffers the effects from; but, he purposely caused a near-fatal injury to another human being for being "dissed" at a party with which he had ZERO affiliation. Perhaps he will experience a positive internal change if he fully recovers; but, his track record suggests otherwise.

I think that's where you went off the rails a bit. I have seen marijuana do a lot of damage to young people. To imply that it's as benign as a spring breeze is disingenuous.

I used to teach and I saw children smoke too much too early and suffer from it. There was no such thing as spice at the time. I have seen it exacerbate depression. I have known people who got stoned every day with no apparent ill effects.

No one is saying that kid's should smoke it. Their brains are still developing. Maybe I misunderstood your other post.

That said. Those kids may have just been prone to depression anyway. But marijuana may have played a part. More research needs to be done just like the research that was and continues to be done on alcohol.

There are hundreds of medical opinions out there that differ with him. While you are looking for some validation that helps you justify toking up, I will stick to common sense: You are putting smoke into your lungs (filter-free) and changing your brain's chemical balance in an effort to get high. Yeah, sounds much healthier than eating a cheeseburger. Moron.

I understand what you're saying and will say that it doesn't matter if the legal age in CO is 31......it's going to trickle down to the kids. It might cost more before it gets in the hands of a 13 yr old but make no mistake, this is happening in CO and every other state that it's legal in. Legalizing it makes it easier for kids to get it.

These are different arguments. I'm addressing the ludicrous comment that it is safer than smoking, drinking, or eating a cheeseburger, and that it's safe because some doctor told this guy that it was. What people do in the privacy of their own homes is their business.

I do disagree about the jail part. There are laws on the books. Obey the law and there's nothing to worry about. If you absolutely, positively must toke up, take your ass to Colorado and do it while it's still legal there. You guys act like it's some grave injustice to get cited for possession of MJ or for going to jail if cited with intent to sell or if you have a large quantity. You know ahead of time what's going to happen when you get caught, so you are assuming that risk. It's nobody's fault but your own if you end up in jail for it.

Evidently, he was not released from the hospital yesterday but a statement said his condition is not life threatening. They then went on to say he would not play Saturday. Really? Did anybody really think after being in ICU all week and in the hospital as of right now that he would be playing SEC football tomorrow? I'm wondering if he is done for the regular season.

There isn't enough booze on the planet to make them look good

I think ole Willie said it best. " I ain't ever gone to bed with a ugly woman, woke up with a bunch tho."

I don't know what to make of that... the article closes with a finding that what this woman says is false. You must have missed that or hope readers following your link would. Either way, life is too short for this sort of obfuscation, so I won't trouble you any further.

[AlmostPositive]

A significant problem, lol? People like to drink. I love it. One of my passions, really. Luck for me, my gal ain't one of those broads.

ETA: and you're right...it is easy to mock them. Very easy. God knows judging from that picture their husbands had to chug a bottle of bathtub gin just to look at those faces without throwing themselves off a bridge.

That collection of women actually says a lot. The hotties were drinking and having a good time, and leaving the "moral police" business to the dogs.


Alcohol abuse was a widespread serious problem when the temperance movement began... the women were trying to do what they could to address it. I would'n't expect you to know that or much of anything else. So yeah, LOL.

Hmm? Ok, then.

Glad to have your support, AP.

Oh, boy. You would have been better off calling his mother a whore. Them's fightin' words to ole AP.

You kidding, dude? That's sodomy, bra. Gasp!!!! Missionary is all these fine ladies know....fully-clothed....in the dark....and only for the purpose of reproduction; ya know, as God intended it. Why else are they deemed worthy of sitting atop their pristine ivory tower, judging all those beneath them for daring to defy their ideals of how society should act?***

Just not a fan of people with zero knowledge ridiculing out-of-favor groups.

[BeardoMSU]

Just not a fan of people with zero knowledge ridiculing groups they disagree with.

Holy cow. Zero knowledge, eh? Talk about pot-meet-kettle.

FIFY....but you would never, never, never, never do that right?

[AlmostPositive]

The key phrase is zero knowledge. Also ridicule has a particular meaning that I specifically meant... laughing at, jeering at, that sort of thing. It is not at all the same as saying, for instance, most progressive are hypocrites more interested in propaganda than the truth..

By the way, if you have to edit what I say to make your point, do you even have a point?

[Political Hack]

Just not a fan of people with zero knowledge ridiculing out-of-favor groups.

Out of favor groups:
KKK
Confederates
Prohibitionists
ISIS
Syrian Refugees

AP doesn't like people ridiculing these groups, so y'all be nice to them. Such a liberal heart.

Please tell me MSU didn't give you a degree. I said people without knowledge of the topic. Did you not see that, or just not understand it?

I said earlier you lack integrity. I think there is also a cognitive deficit accompanying that.


I see this tactic so often from Democrats... lie, ridicule, imply racism, with the majority of it done nearly fact-free. Alinsky playbook all over again.


The notion of you being a "moderator" on a political board is unsettling at best.

Weed is practically harmless and infinitely more safe than alcohol. Want proof? A simple google search of % of violent crimes committed while the person is under the influence of alcohol is all you need. Last I looked it was around 70% of all murders, rapes etc.. committed while the person had just recently been drinking. There's money to be made for Mississippi by going against the grain and actually being a progressive state for once by legalizing marijuana. If just a fraction of drunk murderers choose to smoke weed instead of drinking then lives WILL BE SAVED. Mississippi will also prosper financially and won't be looked at as such an extreme conservative state by every state outside the South. If Mississippi had the choice to be Tennessee when it was time to produce whiskey distilleries like Jack Daniels that has brought in billions for the state of Tennessee don't you think Mississippi would jump all over that opportunity again? Here is Mississippi's chance to be the pioneer state in the South for marijuana. There's billions to be made here for Mississippi. It's going to be legalized in less than 10 years everywhere USA so might as well make a few billion first.

Somebody needs to help this poor guy pull the corncob out of his ass

[Bocephus]

Dude, It's legal in 3 states and more are pushing for it. There are way more successful people smoking marijuana now than you will ever know. I'm talking doctors, lawyers, etc. My own doctor even told me that it was harmless and that it should be legal. So I will take his medical knowledge over your common sense.

Well some Dr's tell a different story about pot. I've got a lung disease and it has progressed to the stage I only have 19% lung capacity. This was discovered 7 years ago and during all the initial lung function test marijuana was mentioned often. I was asked over and over if I had or was using mj. My pulmonologist said it did damage lungs more so then tobacco because it was inhaled deeper and held longer in the lungs. My damage was from environmental/farming and I smoked for 20 years. Never smoked marijuana so it couldn't have caused my problems.

You have a lot of experience with that sort of procedure?
