The Big Business of Synthetic Highs

June 19, 2011, 6:12 pm

The cover story of the current issue of Bloomberg Businessweek a long article in about the business aspects of synthetic highs such as “Spice”, “K2″, and bath salts, an industry estimated to gross many billions of dollars yearly.  The article focuses on one company — Pandora Potpourri of in Columbia MO – with two employees, four sales reps, and an annual profit of $500,000 from $2.5 million in revenue.  The article is fairly interesting, but has nothing that should surprise regular readers of The Poison Review.

Thanks to DoseNation for bringing this article to my attention.
