Faulkner County, Arkansas, has passed a new ordinance making the purchase, sale and possession of K2 illegal. K2 is a synthetic version of marijuana that has become more prevalent in America in recent months.
K2, Spice and Solar Flare are name brands of the product, which is a combination of herbs and plant material covered with a synthetic substance that mimics the effects of marijuana. [Clay] Smith [from the Conway Police Department] said in the past six to eight months, the problems with K2 have "skyrocketed.."
[Smith] stated incident reports through the department include a teen running into a house during a K2-induced place out, and responses to seizures. [Source: The Cabin]
K2 is said to be ten times more powerful than marijuana and is much more dangerous. Under the new ordinance, anyone caught with K2 will be subject to up to one year of prison and up to a $1,000 fine.
