K2 is an 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 and Korea. It is rolled into a cigarette and smoked in a manner similar to marijuana.

It is a product similar to Spice. K2 comes in many varieties with names such as Blonde, Summit, Pink, Blue, Standard, and Citron. No studies have been done on its effects on humans.

It is legal and readily available throughout most of the United States. Its use has sparked alarm in Kansas and Missouri, which are contemplating legal bans, but has not raised such objection in Michigan. The US Army has banned soldiers' use.
