Cloud 9 is not a drug,” says Rusty Payne, a spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). “It’s a name.”
According to an “emergency order” issued by the Macomb County Health Department on September 24, the active ingredient in Cloud 9, as well as similar products called Crown and Relax, is (S)-N-(1-amino-3-methyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1-pentyl-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide, a.k.a. AB-PINACA, a synthetic cannabinoid first described in 2012. The health department’s director, William Ridella, says that identification was based on a test by the state police laboratory of at least one sample purchased in southeastern Michigan. AB-PINACA is not explicitly banned by federal law, but Ridella says it may be covered by a catchall provision of the 2012 Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act that describes synthetic cannabinoids in general terms, based on their structure and pharmacological action.
Mystery solved? Not quite.
...
When I ask Mary Mazur, a spokeswoman for the health department, which of those many chemicals is the active ingredient in Cloud 9, she refers me to information about MDPV, one of the cathinones banned by the Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act.

I just want to know why
someone would like to look like those kids. I remember when people used to get high just to enhance their experiences or just to escape from reality back in the 70's and 80's. This is different, must be an agenda behind.
Just imagine walking into a club full of these people...on acid!
I'll let that sit there for a minute.
I don't think these zombies buy drinks. No good for business unless you sell brain smoothies.

No, I would see them gather the pods at certain times of the year and I asked about what they were doing.
I was even given a plant which was absolutely beautiful and smelled wonderful.
Are you prepared for the impending zombie invasion? That's the question posed by the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention in a Monday blog posting gruesomely titled, "Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse." And while it's no joke, CDC officials say it's all about emergency preparation. "There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for," the posting reads. "Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That's right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e. You may laugh now, but when it happens you'll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you'll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency."

But i find it interesting, that in many of these cases, the subject bashes its head against windows and such... to see similar effects... i wonder, what causes that particular behavior... very suspicious...

Oh my god..... I don't know what would have happened back in my super paranoid days when I firmly believed zombies could and would happen at any moment...... Thankfully I didn't own any guns back then lol! Okay I'm saying back then like it was ages ago but like.... 5 years maybe hahaha...
