K2 Drug Now Illegal
Fake marijuana, or
K2, is a mixture of chemicals that mimics the effects of smoking marijuana. The products contain synthetic tetrahydrocannabinol derivatives that mimic the sensation of being high on marijuana. The Texas Poison Center Network has received increasing reports of people falling ill after smoking K2. Some of the side effects include seizures, hallucinations, anxiety, nausea, and vomiting.
The DEA recently banned the chemicals that make K2 for one year, and the Texas Legislature is considering a bill that would make it a state violation. Many local cities have already banned the substances from being sold within their city limits.
Drug crimes are harshly punished in Texas. It is important to protect yourself and your rights if charged with a drug crime.
