Though it’s currently legal, the synthetic cannabinoid K2 is being banned by an increasing number of U.S. cities. Dallas and East Texas are two of the most recent cities to ban K2, which is also referred to as "Spice."
“The decision for Dallas comes on the heels of an investigation into what could be the first K2-related death in the country. And in East Texas, two men in their 20’s were hospitalized in Jacksonville from smoking K2. Since then, there have been two more K2 medical emergencies in North Texas.” [Source: KCEN-TV (TX)]
People treated for K2-related medical problems typically complain of severe chest pains and heart palpitations. Some patients suffer long-term heart damage.K2 was originally created as a type of incense, but recent claims that smoking it causes “marijuana-like” experiences have compelled young people to misuse it.
