Well maybe if this "mother", and others like her knew what her kids where up to, there wouldn't be as big of a problems with these drugs. I agree that minors shouldn't be sold the drug, but adults should have the right and choice to make their own decision. BTW, why is alcohol still legal then?

Oh so comments have to be approved on this site, so I probably won't show up...yay.

Also, if these drugs were actually sold as a drug and regulated, we wouldn't see these "hot spots" in these drugs because makers of the drug would be more focused on increasing safety and quality of these products, not trying to circumvent ignorant laws that will just cause more problems. People need to wake up and realize that these drugs wont go away, just hide in the shadows of the black market. So to all you parents, don't be surprised when your kid gets mugged trying to buy this stuff off a street dealer. WAKE UP.

While David attempts to make great points he attacks Ms. Davis with generalizations, sterotyping her as an irresponsible mother. In the same breath he calls the refered substance a drug then jumps to promote a "what" if theory of how drugs can be made, sold and at the same time be of quality and are safe. I will agee on the point that this suff won't go away and that is precicely why the Davis's, myself showed up at the council meeting and she spoke publicly about the need to understand the danger of having this made easily available to the youth on store shelves. The lawmakers will move forward on this issue at the request of the community and K2 will now be considered a controled substance simply because we the parents and law enforcement have witnessed the havoc of K2 in a uncontroled enviorment.

I find it amazing that I would be personally attacked. My attentions were to inform the council and city of this dangerous trend in our community. And to protect not only my children, but the children of Saint Clair Shores. I don't believe most parents were aware of how easily obtainable these drugs were. How easy it was for children to walk into a gas station and leave with a legal $10 high in their hands. The parents in SCS love their children, I love my children...you would have understood my message and the researched facts regarding synthetic cannobinoids that was presented that evening had you, David, attended the meeting. I am an involved parent, that is why I found it so important to attend the council meeting and voice my concerns. I stand behind everything I said that night. I will continue to make the ability of our children to obtain both legal and illegal drugs hard. I lead by example to my children, I do NOT abuse alcohol or drugs. I will also lead by example and show my children that you fight for what you believe in...and I believe in my children's future and the future of all children.

We appreciate comments and discussions about issues here on Patch, but please remember to be civil, respectful of others and discuss the issues.

I do apologize for my attitude towards Ms. Davis, and I definitely did lump her in with irresponsible parents. That did not help me make my argument, and really just was my anger at this issue coming out. So to you Ms. Davis, I am sorry. I do believe you love your children and you want to make legal and illegal drugs harder for them to obtain. I have that same view. The thing I don't understand is how parents don't see these things in stores themselves. All I did was walk into the gas station, and it's all right there behind the counter, next to glass pipes and herb grinders. I just feel many good parents like Ms. Davis just aren't paying attention (not saying her personally, not trying to attack her). And I believe that anyone selling drugs to minors, legal or not, should be prosecuted and thrown in jail. Drugs in my opinion are neither good nor bad. It's how they are used, and I believe recreational use of drugs is okay and I stand behind that 100%. But yes there is a potential for abuse with any drug, and this one is obviously a VERY good example. As I said before, prohibition does not work, and never will. Hopefully we can figure out a perfect way to handle these issues, but it's not looking good so far. And once again I am very sorry for attacking you like that Ms. Davis. I hope you know I am sincere.

Oh and as for the meeting, I did not know about it. I have been trying to become more involved in the world around me, including issues like these. I LOVE SCS, it's really the best city around here, hands down. I don't think I would have attended the meeting because I have very bad anxiety when dealing with people I don't know face to face. Especially when I know I am the minority on such a sensitive issue.
