I honestly didn't find the ESPN story damning to Auburn at all. What people have to do is put yourself in the 2010 mindset. At that time if you weren't a college student or someone working in public safety (EMS or LE), odds are good you didn't even know spice existed. I'm a volunteer EMT and work for a LE and the first time I heard of it was around 2006 (it was called K2 then).

Everybody was behind the curve. In Auburn's case, the abuse resulted in some very high profile incidents but nobody should think their programs were somehow different.

You had a 'new' drug with unpredictable effects that was legal and undetectable. Throw in just a couple of bad apples (which exist in every program) and you've got a recipe for disaster at some program and it happened to be Auburn.

The amazing thing to me is that it didn't happen in more places.

Synthetic marijuana became ILLEGAL in Alabama July 1, 2010, before the 2010 football season.

quote:
On April 22, 2010, the Alabama Legislature passed HB697, making it illegal to possess chemical compounds, HU-210, JWH-018, JWH-073 and salvia divinorum or salvinorum A. Former state Rep. James Gordon was among the sponsors of the bill, which became effective which became effective July 1, 2010.
