Bloomberg did go after soda so a movement to ban fries would not shock me in the slightest. I plan on dipping my illegal fries in mayonnaise and crisco just for some extra trans fat goodness :titsout:
DONE! and it was good…. :horns up
Behold! The "Blitz Box"!
TWO THOUSAND, NINE HUNDRED AND FORTY CALORIES.
No kiddin’. :bowdown
If that’s 2 Quarter Pounders 1 could solo this box no problem
2 Double QP’s and I’d be fighting to get it finished.

Ok…EG…I am too high to drive…you are the closest….so come get me and lets go to McDonalds…I am paying…but mostly eating
If this crazy clown has been sickening other people id likely say its an impurity in the chem in this, or a different chem altogether. Remember when 4f-bb-22 was accidentally going around? EB explained it well. Shady lab in china accidentally made 4f not 5f bb-22 which is bad for you. That likely what got IQ so sick a few months ago, imo.

A federal team has arrived in Colorado to help investigate hospital reports that synthetic marijuana is to blame for scores of recent illnesses and possibly three fatalities in Denver and Colorado Springs.
"The deaths are suspect, they’re being investigated," Mark Salley, spokesman for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, said Tuesday.
The five-member federal team from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention includes experts trained in epidemiology and toxicology.
Salley said they will join investigators from the state and Tri-County Health Department trying to determine the source of synthetic pot _ also known as "spice" _ that apparently has sickened an estimated 75 people since late August.
The effort may take weeks, Salley said. He urged people not to ingest synthetic pot.
The outbreak in Colorado followed a case in North Carolina, where the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration charged 30 people in July with conspiracy to distribute synthetic marijuana and other drugs.
"The rise of synthetic drug use in the United States alone has reached epidemic proportions and has resulted in a sustained rise in emergency room visits, deaths, and violence among teens and young adults," Harry S. Sommers, special agent in charge of the Atlanta field division of the CDC, said in July.
Wyoming last year saw a number of illnesses associated with synthetic marijuana. That outbreak sparked a CDC probe that found 16 people in six states had suffered kidney damage from the drug.
Wyoming authorities said more than a dozen people were sickened in the Casper area and several were hospitalized with kidney failure following exposure to synthetic marijuana.
Two women were recently sentenced to federal prison in Wyoming for distributing the drug and causing serious injury.
Dr. Tracy Murphy, Wyoming state epidemiologist, said Tuesday that the cases came to light last year after an unusual number of patients went to hospitals with kidney failure, back pain, abdominal pain and vomiting.
Murphy said substances sold as synthetic marijuana are unpredictable in terms of ingredients and physical reactions.
"There’s probably lots of illnesses and harmful effects that we probably just don’t know about yet," he said. "The best thing is that people just need to not put that stuff in their bodies."
Wyoming and other states, as well as the federal government, have attempted to outlaw synthetic marijuana. However, lawmakers face a moving target because the chemical nature of the substance can evolve.
Murphy said manufacturers may try to make new products based on what is or isn’t outlawed.
A CDC report says synthetic marijuana appeared in the United States in 2009. It is generally comprised of a drug solution applied to plant material and is distributed globally "under countless trade names and packaged in colorful wrappers designed to appeal to teens, young adults and first-time drug users," the report states.
"Products are often packaged with disingenuous labels such as `not for human consumption,’ or `incense,’ but health professionals and legal authorities are keenly aware that these products are smoked like marijuana," the report says.

"Synthetic Marijuana"
Exactly who came up with this term?
Huffman?
I just found this…
quote " A stimulant thiophene analog, α-pyrrolidinovalerothiophenone (α-PVT, 11), and an opioid receptor agonist, 3,4-dichloro-N-([1-(dimethylamino)cyclohexyl]methyl)benzamide (AH-7921, 12), were also detected as new types of designer drugs coexisting with several synthetic cannabinoids in illegal products"

So it looks like a-PVT and AH-7921 are definitely showing up in blends now alongside the cannabinoids.

DENVER — The Colorado Department of Public Health announced the results of an investigation into a declared epidemic of synthetic marijuana-related illnesses in Denver Thursday morning, stating the outbreak of illnesses is likely tied to several products.
The investigation cited nearly a dozen product names, including Black Mamba, Crazy Monkey, Crazy Clown, Dead Man Walking, Funky Monkey, Sexy Monkey, SinX, Spice, TenX, Twilight and 3X.
However, Dr. Tista Ghosh, interim chief medical officer for the state, cautioned that these products are not the only brands of synthetic marijuana to avoid.
“While these products were identified in the investigation, synthetic marijuana products can be repackaged and sold under many names,†Ghosh said. “The safe thing for people to do is not use any synthetic marijuana. No brand is safe.â€
The health department said much of the initial investigation into synthetic marijuana involved interviews with patients ranging from the ages of 13 to 55 years old. Those patients were suffering from one or more symptoms, including disorientation, delirium, confusion, anxiety, lethargy, agitation, paranoia, hallucinations and seizures.
The health department also said some patients suffered from even more severe symptoms, including outbreaks of violent behavior and periods of unresponsiveness or comatose.
Three patients the health department believed to be suffering from synthetic marijuana symptoms also died. No additional information was available about those individuals as of Thursday morning.
As of Sept. 10, the health department had identified approximately 150 patients who suffered from symptoms potentially associated with synthetic marijuana usage. As part of the initial investigation cited in the report released on Thursday, the health department said 58 patient chart reviews had been completed at five different hospitals.
The investigation is far from complete, the health department indicated, and new reports of patients suffering from synthetic marijuana side effects are reportedly coming in on a daily basis.
A crucial upcoming part of the investigation will involve laboratory testing of the chemicals contained in the identified batches of synthetic marijuana, the health department said. That process could take weeks.

Herbal Incense Seized in Glynn County Determined to be Schedule I Substance
September 12, 2013
Savannah, GA– The Glynn County Police Department submitted several packages labeled “Crazy Clownâ€â€™, marketed as an herbal incense product, to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) Crime Lab in Savannah. The laboratory analyzed the material in these packages to determine if a controlled substance was present. The analysis confirmed the presence of a new synthetic cannabinoid, ADB-PINACA. Confirmation of this new compound by the GBI Crime Lab is the first known instance of this particular synthetic cannabinoid in the U.S. The ADB-PINACA compound is categorized as a Schedule I substance by O.C.G.A 16-30-31 as part of Chase’s Law which was passed by the Georgia General Assembly in the 2012 session.

ATLANTA — Channel 2 Action News has learned the tests are in on a powerful synthetic drug in Georgia. GBI chemists had to do significant detective work just to identify it.
Channel 2’s Linda Stouffer found out it’s so dangerous officials are warning other labs across the country what to look for.
The powerful synthetic pot, known as “Crazy Clown†sent two dozen people to the hospital in south Georgia. The drug that caused symptoms from vomiting to paralysis remained a mystery until GBI chemists in DeKalb County analyzed the toxic ingredients.
“We had contacted crime labs all over the country including the DEA and no one was familiar with this substance, clearly a brand new compound,†said GBI Crime Lab Chemistry Section Manager Nelly Miles.
Miles said her team had to innovative work to identify that what was stuffed in the packages, was a new and poisonous synthetic pot, but similar to other products sold as herbal incense.
“Calling it the fourth generation of synthetic cannabinoid — we’re finding much more potent so the effects, nausea, vomiting, cardiac arrest, being put on life support, much stronger than previous generation,†Miles said.
State drug official warns other labels could be connected too. The lead investigator in Brunswick, Ga., said they are testing other packages found with victims.
Investigators are still trying to determine where the compound was created and packaged.
“We have a new compound we’d never seen before, however, once we’d identified it — it’s still outlawed,†Miles said.
The GBI is able to declare what they found in crazy clown is a controlled substance right away because the drug chemical "backbones" are covered under Chase’s Law, in memory of local teenager Chase Burnett.
