While an armed robber is roaming the streets, cops are wasting their time with freakin' incense ...
Coffee Wonk gets robbed, stockroom raided of Heaven Scent incense by police September 28, 2010 - pitch.com
Monday was a bad day for Coffee Wonk owner Micah Riggs.
At 7:30 a.m., an armed robber visited the 35th and Broadway shop and made off with everything in the register. Riggs wasn't at work at the time, but when his employee called the cops -- as you are wont to do when a man with a gun takes all your money -- they had no idea police would end up taking even more away by confiscating the entire stock of Heaven Scent incense.
According to Riggs, police responded roughly 10 minutes after the robbery. He arrived at the shop himself around 8 a.m.
"I'm trying to be as cooperative as I can with anything they need, and they were really cool," Riggs says. "But then this guy comes up and says he's drug enforcement and asking about the new incense. He saw there was a disclaimer saying this was clean of the old substances, and they took off. Then an hour later he came back and started taking everything."
Riggs is referring to the synthetic cannabinoids made illegal in Missouri in August, the ones that were the active ingredients in K2 synthetic marijuana, which Riggs sold during the time it was legal. When the compounds were banned, Riggs started carrying new incenses under the name Heaven Scent with different chemical compounds than those regulated under Missouri law. Riggs says the Heaven Scent is legal.
"The officer was telling me that their lab had a bag of the same brand that said it had JWH-018 in it," Riggs says, referring to the name of the illegal synthetic cannabinoid. "He said it was from an old crime scene. I told him it must have been old because that's not the formula that's used anymore, it's been changed to comply with the law."
Riggs also owns the the Wonk Exchange tobacco shop in the same building as the Coffee Wonk. His supply of Heaven Scent is stocked there, though he says he doesn't sell the incense out of that location. The police asked him to sign a voluntary search order for the Wonk Exchange to show good faith, which he did. They then proceeded to confiscate the incense from that store.
Riggs says the police told him they needed to test his stock to make sure none of the criminalized chemicals were present, and if the products were found to be clean they would be returned. Riggs says he was assured today the process would take about a week.

The point is the local missouri pigs are ignorant and didn't even assist in why they were called there We have had dozens of news articles about K2 and incense since this time last year! I can assure you these new blends are JWH-018 and -073 free as those two are scheduled in KS and MO Local news video http://www.nbcactionnews.com/dpp/news/region_missouri/jackson_county/coffee-shop-raided-after-calling-police-about-robbery

I never claimed the spice was JWH free, I recently bought a blend called Venom in Iowa and while it did get me high off my ass, It didn't feel quite like the 018 that I am familiar with.
My point is, that's what you get for dealing in the spice trade... Dude shouldn't have even called the cops cause now they are going to find out what is in it and make that too illegal.
Even though its not illegal if it is JWH free, the guy is still turning a huge profit off of it and for that he will always be on public and police radar. If he wants to do it safely and keep the heat off his back, store product in a safe or pay an armored car to come pick it up every day. Don't call the piggies and say someone ran off with your fake weed.

I guess, but it was money that got stolen, not fake weed.
