Have you seen the tests or has there been a statement released saying what they tested positive for?

JWH-18 is the legal name of the substance.

Show me a test that tests for it...

There isnt.

I am quite shocked that college football players are doing something illegal which in turn can affect the team.

considering it is probably our 2nd best player on offense, our best player on defense, and another starting CB on defense, there really is no positive spin on this.

"durr durr they are college aged kids, they do this!!!!!"


shut the frick up with that stuff. Football players are held to a higher standard than other pot head frat boys that have no involvement with LSU besides attending to get an education.

football players represent the university in a national light. They are giving free scholarships to play football at LSU. They are expected to obey the rules, whether it is common for other students to break them or not. Some LSU fans are retarded to keep saying this

They do not test for K2. This is directly from the NCAA website of banned drugs. It would be a street agent and they do not test for it.

These kids were smoking weed. Not fake weed.

Yes there is a test for synthetic marajuana. Of course as they develop tests, the manufactures develop new ones just slightly altered to beat the law so they are unable to detect all of them. My work test for synthetic marajuana and synthethic bath salts.

So there is your answer sports fans.

Actually is banned by the NCAA...my bad

K2 Gains Popularity Among Athletes
March 2011: K2, also known as Spice, is a synthetic version of marijuana. This drug, which creates a similar high to marijuana, is becoming more popular among athletes because it does not generate a positive drug test. The active ingredient of this herbal mix, sprayed with chemicals, is JWH-018, which is very similar to the active compounds of marijuana. K2 is a relatively new drug, first identified in 2008. There is great concern over the side-effects of this drug. It may cause dangerously elevated heart rates, hallucinations, seizures, and cardiac arrest, among others. It has been linked to several deaths in athletes.
This drug was recently added to the DEA's controlled substance list. It will become a banned substance by the NCAA beginning August 1, 2011. You can read more about this drug here.


Might be worse than them smoking the real thing if true

I normally don't agree with Lester, but he hit the nail on the head here.

I also don't understand why elite athletes feel the need to put this crap into their bodies. They get to experience the ultimate high every Saturday during the fall, performing in front of 100,000 screaming fans ... guess that's just not enough for some guys.

I provided a link. You might have seen it had you not been too busy trying to be a smartass.

Htown- yes they do think it is far more dangerous than the real thing. The bath salts some are abusing (sythetic coke) are even worse.
