Unlike the traditional war against heroin, cocaine, and other well-known drugs, when it comes to new synthetics, the government doesn't announce which ones it thinks are illegal before bringing charges. Making matters stranger, still, the DEA's own scientists haven't always agreed on what to ban. Indeed, a senior research chemist with the agency thought the spice Burton and Ben sold was legal"-- |
