Auburn - January 27, 2011
NCAA - December 2012
If you have a link, please provide. Seems like Auburn and LSU were some of the first.
From October 2011 story about LSU: Article Mary Wilfert, NCAA associate director of health and safety, said the NCAA in August added synthetic cannabinoids to its banned class of street drugs, which also includes marijuana, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive substance found in marijuana) and heroin.
Wilfert said the NCAA isn't testing for synthetic cannabinoids because its drug labs aren't yet equipped to test for them. Wilfert said the NCAA held an educational forum about the dangers of synthetic cannabinoids for its member schools in January during the NCAA convention in San Antonio. She said the NCAA also has educated schools about the drugs through newsletters.
"It's caught our attention and we're addressing it," Wilfert said. "In the near future, after we get information back from our labs, we'll make a determination as to whether we'll start testing for it."
Wilfert said that if a student-athlete tests positive for an NCAA-banned substance in a school-administered drug test, the student-athlete is not subject to NCAA punishment.
"Schools can determine whether they test for something," Wilfert said. "It's independent of NCAA testing. NCAA testing does not test for [synthetic cannabinoids]. I know some schools are testing for it. What the penalties are is up to the school."

If only you had tested for paying athletes to come to Auburn a little sooner.

Probably about the time most states made it illegal.
Still funny that the (at the time) legal drug was much more dangerous than the (still) illegal drug it was designed to replace.

Mother nature ROFLs at that irony.

We probably should start testing for bath salts before Holland starts eating people's faces off.

In Georgia they made spice illegal in late May of 2010, but did not start enforcing the law until October 2011.
When they started enforcing the law gas stations, convenience stores, and head shops wanted the government to pay them for the spice which was now illegal. The State said NO!!!

so is the the NtY/Au propaganda, that Au was one of the first to test for spice and that somehow means the recent allegations are false. ?

nah, salvia is a real plant and a different thing entirely.

Well some of them are false, like the informing of parents. the testing positive is true, but not sure what the big deal is. Players tested positive for something you could buy at a gas station and wasnt banned by the NCAA. I guess people think aTm should get in trouble for Manziels underage drinking, afterall that actually is a crime

Stop trying to take our attention from your cheating school.
