He was caught by police and charged with theft by deception and retail theft. The synthetic marijuana is a mixture of common herbs sprayed with synthetic chemicals that mirror the high of marijuana. So far, twelve states have banned the sale of Synthetic Marijuana - (Kansas, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Missouri, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oregon, Illinois, Michigan, PA, and Kentucky). The American Association of Poison Control Centers reported that within the past year there have been over 500 cases of negative reactions to the still legal yet dangerous drug.

The NCAA recently published the results of their annual drug testing analysis and the the number of college athletes testing positive for marijuana at postseason events was up nearly three times compared to their last survey. The number of positive marijuana tests across all three divisions increased from 28 in 2008-09 to 71 in 2009-10.

The current NCAA-testing policy requires that athletes testing positive sit out one full season and lose a year of eligibility. Travis Tygart, CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency said, With medical marijuana use on the rise and increased calls in some states for legalization of the drug, more positive tests for athletes are not surprising." Tygart continued "It's a fear we've had that as marijuana and even some performance-enhancing drugs become more socially acceptable that athletes will think it might ...

A recent lawsuit filed by the ACLU in Florida federal court recently challenged Florida Governor Rick Scott’s Executive Order mandating pre-employment and random drug testing for all Florida public-sector employees. Matthew F. Nieman of the the Institute for a Drug-Free Workplace writes in a brief that despite the Executive Order’s express limitation to drug-testing, Howard Simon, executive director of the ACLU of Florida, was quoted by the AP in support of the suit, as stating “The analysis of urine also tells a lot more about you that is nobody's business,”including whether an employee is pregnant, or taking heart, diabetes, depression or other medications. Nieman concludes, "The continuing misperception that an employment-related drug testing delves into pregnancy or diabetes is disappointing and confuses the pertinent issues. Nonetheless, private sector employees should note that a Fourth Amendment attack is applicable only to public-sector.
