here’s a new drug trend among youth that parents should be aware of – an herbal and chemical product that mimics the effects of marijuana. It’s best known by the brand names K2 or Spice, and some are referring to it as herbal incense or “fake weed.” This drug is a combination of herbs and spices that have been sprayed with several synthetic chemicals that mimic the effects of marijuana. It creates an unpredictable “high” depending on the chemicals. Emergency rooms are seeing kids who have used this drug presenting with racing hearts, blood pressure problems, vomiting, hallucinations, paranoia and anxiety – not typical side effects of marijuana. ■
