I've been asked to put this survey out there again. It's so important that we get as many people to participate as possible. Even if the synthetic drug involved isn't Spice/K2, you should still register your case. None of your information will be used for anything other than statistical purposes without your approval.

It is very important that everyone is counted in this study of Spice/K2 use in America, especially if you have experienced side effects. Do not go uncounted!

Today's Dr. Phil: Young man is convinced someone implanted a chip that is making him hear voices after doing "bath salts." He's convinced he's not schizophrenic. So sad! The man thinks that he and others are being "electronically harassed."

Thank you, Denise Crosby, for taking this battle on for the last few years. Denise was one of our biggest allies in our efforts to get Spice/K2 off the shelves. She's been a huge supporter of To the Maximus Foundation for almost four years now. Thanks!

Karen Dobner insists she's ready for "a simple, quiet life."

Eric Schelkopf has been helping to increase awareness about synthetic drugs from the moment he found out about Max's death. Thanks, Eric.

From Jan. 1, 2015, through April 22, 2015, poison centers have received 1,900 exposure calls from people seeking help for adverse reactions to these drugs; this is almost four times the rate of calls received in 2014. In New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo issued a health alert stating that New York emergency departments have reported seeing more than 160 patients in a nine day period. Alabama has seen 317 synthetic cannabinoid-related emergency department visits in an 18 day window as of April 20, 2015. Other states such as New Jersey, Mississippi, Texas, Florida and Arizona have also seen dramatic increases in reports, signaling this is a national problem.

If we can save just one soul, we're doing great work! The pain and suffering from brain injury, addiction, anxiety attacks, depression, death, is enormous.

ABC Channel 7 News is running the interview we taped earlier today and last Friday. Not sure if it will air at 5:00 or 6:00

I'm sitting in the lobby of the Dirksen Federal Building with an ABC 7News crew, waiting for Ruby Mohsin to leave the building so we can photograph her. They are obviously taking video and I'm chasing her down for a still shot. It's been four years and we still don't have a photograph of the woman who poisoned countless kids by selling them Spice/K2 out of her Westfield Mall store, The Cigar Box. She's been in booking for over 4 hours. I'll report everything later tonight.
