Academy Expels 13th Midshipman In Synthetic Marijuana Investigation

The U.S. Naval Academy has expelled another midshipman in an ongoing investigation into the use or possession of synthetic marijuana.

Cmdr. Joe Carpenter said Wednesday that a male student was expelled last week. The expulsion brings to 13 the number of midshipmen who have been expelled as a result of the investigation, which began last fall.

Synthetic marijuana is sold in drug paraphernalia shops and on the Internet. The products contain organic leaves coated with chemicals that provide a marijuana-like high when smoked.

It is banned by the Defense Department and the Navy.

Huh, I cannot imagine applyig for a job in their shoes and inform my employer I was kicked out of the Naval Academy.

Wow-no long term thought process there...

Cheech and Chong might say: "hey man that looks like dope"...

If this synthetic pot is not banned in the US yet, how can these kids be kicked out of the Navy for doing something legal?
