The urgency to make K2 illegal in all states
Emergency rooms all over the country are seeing a rise in visits from teens suffering from side effects of the synthetic derivitive of marijuana known as K2 or spice. K2 marketed as incense, is being sold in gas stations, head shops and online where teens are able to just walk in and make a purchase. Legislators from several states are making a push to make k2 illegal and added to the contolled substance list of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The New York Times reports that the drug is quite elusive in that no one really knows what is in the herbal mix of K2. One thing is for certain that the “herbal incense” is creating havoc in the lives of many teens, parents, shop owners and government officals. One man is quoted as saying;“I know it’s not going to kill me,” who likened the drug’s effects to clove cigarettes. “It’s a waste of time, effort and money to ban something like this.”
Unfortunately, not so with the case of a teenage boy in Iowa who had just graduated high school a week before smoking K2. Police reported that the boy started freaking out and hallucinating after smoking the synthetic substance; went home, got a rifle and shot himself. Although this might be an isolate account, what is not so isolated is the fact poison control centers throughout the United States are receiving more and more calls from people who have smoked K2.
Many users of K2 really do not see the harm in smoking the “incense” even though the package states clearly, “not for human consumption”. Proabationers and Parolees are using K2 because it does not show up on any drug tests, but will use it and take their changes for a clean urine test.
