A new punitive general order concerning the use of uncontrolled or un-regulated psychotropic substances by servicemembers has been disseminated by Commander Marine Corps Forces, Pacific (MARFORPAC). According to the order, the substances known as Spice and Salvia Divinorum are hereby prohibited to all servicemembers assigned within the MARFORPAC chain of command.

The spice must flow!
I was worried it might be Tabasco!

The God Emperor will not be pleased!..................
Dammit, you posted the LOLcat I wanted to in message 1 before I even had a chance! Not fair!
Blue eyed Marines are in trouble.
The Marines with their camel backs are Fremen in reality
Salvia. Isn’t that the common plant that teenagers are smoking to get high?
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutmeg
All you military chefs better watch out since now the mere posses ion of nutmeg is illegal!
Jeez, back to Jimsonweed...
And don’t be giving them poppy seed muffins either.
The image of armed Marines on Jimsonweed is actually kind of frightening.
Salvia is the Spanish word for sage. Sage is a spice used in cooking.
SALVIA DIVINORUM, is a 100% natural drug that shamans in Mexico used to induce visions. It causes a 5-15 minute high and a 30-60 minute “drop-off” You only need one toke which you need to hold in for about 20 seconds. Every trip is different some might have you talking to ice cream cones and others you might talk to god or see all different kinds of stuff. You need a sitter (a friend to keep you out of trouble) because you won’t be able to control yourself for the peak of the high as it is like an out of body expierience.
To those that are unfamiliar, Spice is the free markets answer to the failed war on drugs. It is a striking blow to the very concept of a war on plants and I predicted this would happen years ago.
It is an essentially unknown mixture of plants and sometimes synthetic chemicals sold as incense, spice or potpourri. The manufacturers mask what is in the Spice to prevent governments from outlawing the active ingredient(s). The ingredients constantly vary and change.
There are thousands of undiscovered psychotropic compounds that exist in plants. I personally know a chemist that has synthesized at least 400. There are a potentially infinite number of synthetic compounds.
So what we have now is people smoking/eating unknown and unproven compounds because they are legal until discovered. Many of the chemicals are highly addictive and can cause overdosing (unlike cannabis). A doctor friend in the UK told me there have been more incidences of designer MJ emergencies and deaths at his hospital in the past year than people harmed by natural cannabis during the hospitals entire history. They are using unknown drugs because cannabis is illegal.
Thanks WOD
I just read somewhere there’s another Dune theatrical remake in the works.
If Peter Jackson(LOTR) does it, in 3 or 4 parts, it might be good. Interesting material, but I don’t have much good to say about the movie directed by David Lynch.

but it is a particu;lar species. It is the not the sage you use for cooking or the white sage used in certain cermonies. This is kind of like going out and purposefully looking for psilocybin
Holly crap, it’s The Cat.
