Production of a dangerous street drug called 'Moon Rocks' is soaring and the DEA can't keep up

Spice, otherwise known as K2, Moon Rocks, or Skunk is a lab-produced, mind-altering drug that's been soaring in popularity in recent years.

Giant underground laboratories, many of which are in China, are churning out thousands of pounds of the stuff. This week, the DEA arrested a man whose lab likely produced the chemicals in some 70% of the spice sold in the US, the New York Times reports.

Although it's often marketed as a "safer alternative to traditional marijuana," spice is dangerous and can be deadly.

The DEA has been indoctrinated into the give and take approach with the so called war on drugs.Since WW2 the US government has never gone all out on any war.For who the hell knows what reason we declare war and then impose rules of engagement that are so strict that we couldn't win if we wanted to.The lack of intent to win makes going to war pointless.The DEA has their hands tied.Don't expect any heroics from them.
