They had to know this is coming. Also Dareus must be jumping for joy as well.

Overdue.

Looks like the NFL is getting wise to the fact that players are now using the synthetic stuff, which isn't banned or tested for but is reportedly worse for you and a felony in some states (as Marcell found out). Not to mention that it's legal in some states. Good news for a lot of NFL players, because a lot of them smoke pot.

As for Henderson, he made a mistake just like Sammy Watkins did. Hopefully he learns from it like Sammy says he did.

The fake marijuana on the market is so horrible I can't even begin to describe how BAD it is compared to real marijuana.

Spice, Stroke, and Brain Damage
This is actually the second time a tragic story involving a teen and permanent damage from spice has made headlines. In February, 16-year-old Emily Bauer of Cyprus, Texas, suffered a series of strokes and was put into an induced coma after ingesting Spice at a party. CNN covered the case (http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/04/health/synthetic-marijuana-irpt) after Emily Bauer’s sister, Blake Harrison, wrote a desperate plea on CNN’s iReport (http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-895582)detailing her sister’s story and pleading with news organization to alert parents to the potential tragic results of spice use among teens
Even after months of treatment, Emily Bauer is still blind, partially paralyzed, and suffers from severe cognitive impairment.


Spice and Kidney Damage

These cases aren’t isolated, though. Also in February, the CDC issued an alert (http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6206a1.htm)describing 16 cases of kidney damage from synthetic marijuana. The first warning came from Wyoming, where three patients were hospitalized with sever kidney damage; others came from Oregon, New York, Rhode Island, Oklahoma and Kansas. The kidney damage from many of these cases was very severe, five to the point of requiring dialysis.
