This week I talk about synthetic cannabis, also known as Spice or K2. It hit the market in the late 1990s, and it was legal for many years before government officials both in the US and elsewhere passed new legislation banning it in all its forms.
Check out the 1982 article, "“Cannabimimetic Activity from CP-47, 497, a Derivative of 3-Phenylcyclohexanol" to read about the earliest synthetic cannabinoid on record. For more general information about Spice, check out the academic article, "Spice drugs are more than harmless herbal blends: A review of the pharmacology and toxicology of synthetic cannabinoids."
For more on Marshall McLuhan's "The Medium is the Message," check out his work in Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man.
