Mr. Smiley: Legalized Herbal Blend like Marijuana

Mr. Smiley is Now Available to Your Child at Local Gas Stations

Mr. Smiley is the new legal marijuana. It hit the Midwest approximately 6 months ago. It can be purchased at local gas stations for about $10.00 a gram. That is about $3.00 more than illegal street marijuana. It is now in Michiana and kids can use it legally. Unfortunately it has very dangerous side effects. Not only is it undetectable by drug sniffing dogs, but also if a suspect is tested for THC, the psychoactive substance in marijuana, the test will come back negative.

A 15-year-old boy was taken to the emergency room with dangerously high blood pressure and a rapid heart beat after smoking Mr. Smiley. He was lucky not to have had a stroke. He was hallucinating and nearly died from using this dangerous, legal herbal blend.

Many kids and adults alike will tell you that if it is natural that it is not harmful. Anyone who believes that all things natural are not dangerous is obviously not very smart. Mushrooms are natural and some are very delicious and some can kill you, that is just one example of something that is natural is harmless.

Mr. Smiley at first glance looks exactly like marijuana. Teens and adults are smoking it with disastrous results. "Most designer drugs are just one step in front of law enforcement, in front of legislation. This is something that needs to be legislated for sure," said Phil Trent with the South Bend Police Department.

There is no manufacturer information on the Mr. Smiley packaging, but Trent believes it was produced overseas, likely in an unregulated Chinese factory.

This looks like another dangerous product that is coming into our country from China. Hopefully it will soon be banned. If you hear your kids talking about Mr. Smiley, be aware. It can also be burned and inhaled in a room like incense. It is easily purchased at convenience stores and gas stations. Kids can buy it even though it is not legal to sell cigarettes to kids, they can still buy Mr. Smiley from a local gas station.

A friend of mine said that her son went into a neighborhood gas station and the cashier asked him if he wanted to buy Mr. Smiley. How many times do you go into a gas station and have a cashier ask you if you want to purchase something other than what you came in to pay for? (Of course they want you to buy lottery tickets. Don't get me started on that either.)

I would be a bit suspicious if a cashier was asking my child if he wanted to buy Mr. Smiley. It seems like it would be easy to lure someone into buy drugs if you were asking them if they wanted to purchase a legal hallucinogenic

Please warn your children about this dangerous product and contact your congressman about banning Mr. Smiley. You can read more about this at this website. It has been on the local news over the last week.

    Thanks Johnson, I have just recently heard of more and more people in the area having very ugly results with smoking this stuff. I am glad that you survived. I know that some have not been so lucky, as far as having had really bad things happen to them after smoking this stuff.

  • Johnson2/24/2012

    DO NOT SMOKE!Idk #$%$ this stuff is but I smoked it for the first time last night. At first I got the nice "marijauna buzz" but not even 15 minutes later I started to freak out. My heart was pounding out of my chest my pulse was crazy! Luckily I was able to calm myself down fairly quickly or else I would have went to the hospital. A couple hours after my freak out I went home and slept it off. Never touching that worthless s*** again.I see a lot of comment that are saying this article is #$%$ but TRUST ME if you freaked out on this stuff like I did last night you would feel the exact same way about it.

  • Jessica1/27/2012

    this #$%$ needs to be taken off the shelves... I have smoked alot of spice but ive NEVER had the experiences that i had last night b4.... i felt like i was dying.... i even asked my husband if i was dead... this may sound funny to some people but it is not funny when u hear your daughters voice saying mommy is sleeping but it felt like you were dead.... my daughter was asleep when i did this but i heard her voice loud and clear... along with other things i cant get into. i wont it is too f***ed up.. it has changed my life.... they have changed what is in it and it is too dangerous... please if you smoke it BE CAREFUL!!!! PLEASE!!!!! i had the worse trip of all time... please you have been warned

    You guys are so full of #$%$ There is nothing wrong with smoking Mr. smiley. I'm sure you just hate it because you hate to see people happy, because smoking it makes people happy. I'm sorry you have a horrible life and have nothing better to do than pick on others. I heard growing up helps cure that.

    I often wonder now how many dope dealers are jumping for joy now that they got it banned and can inflate their prices.??????????????? As for the ones who claim they had health issues with mrsmiley READ THE DAM BOTTLE! NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You dont wanna smoke it dont smoke it. I'm on a mission with this and wont stop till they lift their stupid #$%$ bans. If I want it i'm gonna get it offline and guess what? You sure as hell aint gonna stop me cause I have money! Grow up.

  • Mark10/19/2011

    This is about as stupid as it gets. As for the Medical problems I know personally of NONE! I pour a small amount into a steaming teacup of water and it smells wonderful. To pull it from the shelves just because some idiots are using it in a manner not directed is total #$%$ You better pull everything scent related off right along with them. Incense, glade and anything like that. What about the other herbs out there such as Parsley, Oregano?????????I would be willing to bet a weeks paycheck that all those Hospital visits made were not these products but more so whatever the hell else they were taking.

    I smoked some of this stuff last night with the hubby since it was our wedding anniversary...HUGE misake!! Thought it would be ok to give a spin since he's been smoking this for a month and not had any bad experiences with it. My heart felt like it was going to go outta my chest..couldn't breath hardly..and trying to focus on anything to look at was outta the question..I wish the first time I had tried any drug it would have had that effect cause I woulda never tried anything again. That being said though, it doesn't have the same effect on everybody..I know lots of people that smoke this regularly with no problems..As for me though, I'll never touch it again. On the upside, if you are experiencing bad side effects from it they disappear as a rule in about 10-15 minutes.

  • MR.Smiley LUVER4/5/2011

    Wow I have smoked Mr.Smiley and all that is said in this article is complete bullshit.The ban did take effect where i live but the sell it without the chemical in it..Honestly it is stronger now then ever and this is not a hallucinogenic.This is a safer way then taking drugs You cant O/D on this also u cant fail a drug test on it.There is reasons why it is legall DUHHHH so try it your self before you judge it.This is a good way to relax for responsible adults with good jobs...

  • Anonymous1/30/2011

    THIS ARTICLE IS BULLSHIT. It's written by someone who is out to get marijuana in its various forms. What kid was taken to the hospital? What hospital? What proof do you have of this kid? Marijuana and its counterparts do NOT cause hallucinations. As soon as i read that bullshit i disregarded the rest of this article. If you REALLY want to know how dangerous marijuana and its counterparts are, TRY THEM FOR YOURSELF. That's the only way you will ever be able to judge them.

    Hi there everyone. I'd like to offer my insight regarding the initial start of this conversation. The person who wrote this article released it about ohhhh a year ago with the product name and location of the incident were changed. I've since seen this article 2 more times. It was a propaganda for article to spread the word and awareness in an effort to have this stuff banned. I've also seen a similar ad for the opposite side of the fence.

    The next time I saw it, it was talking about K2. I forget the location name tho.

    This makes the 3rd time I've seen this article. This time naming Mr Smiley. This leads me to believe that some of you may not know the latest on this "Weed" alternative.

    The DEA has made some of this stuff illegal. Here is what it basically says.

    The chemicals JWH-018, JWH-073, JWH-200, and CP-47,947 are temporarily controlled as of November 24, 2010; furthermore, the sale or possession of these chemicals or any smoking blends contai
