K2 is a herbal smoking blend made of herbs and spices sprayed with synthetic cannabinoids (notably JWH-018, chemically similar to THC), which mimic the effects of Marijuana. It is produced in China. It is rolled into a cigarette and smoked in a manner similar to marijuana.
It is a product similar to Spice. No studies have been done on its effects on humans.
It is readily available throughout the United States. Its use has sparked alarm in Kansas and Missouri but not in Michigan.
It is legal through most of the US, though the US Army has banned soldiers' use. Both Kansas and Missouri are contemplating legal bans.
