K2 is a herbal smoking blend made of herbs and spices sprayed with synthetic cannabinoids (notably JWH-018), which mimic the effects of cannabis. It is produced in China and Korea. It can be consumed in ways comparable to cannabis.
It is a product similar to Spice and Pandora Potpourri. K2 comes in many varieties with names such as Blonde, Summit, Pink, Blue, Standard, and Citron. No official studies have been conducted on its effects on humans. Though its effects are not well documented, it may cause negative effects that are not noted in marijuana users, such as increased agitation and vomiting.
It is legal and readily available throughout most of the United States. Its use has sparked alarm in several states including Kansas which has banned the sale and possession of its active chemicals, and the town council of St. Charles, Missouri has passed emergency legislation banning its sale. The US Army has banned soldiers' use.
