What is K2 Herb - Incense, Legal Smoke Ingredients Blend

K2 is a new herbal incense blend which is amazing when smoked.

K2 has a distinct high which is very euphoric and almost mimics the high of marijuana.

And the best part is, it doesn't show up on drug tests because it is 100% Legal!

Buzz about a crop of herbal incenses capable of producing a marijuana-like high has some heads spinning as the substances begin to take root in Kansas.

Considered legal in the state, the products are sold in a variety of blends that deliver a flowery aroma when burned. But law enforcement officials say some manufacturers are lacing incense with synthetic compounds that mimic marijuana when ingested or smoked.

"It's more of a synthetic cannabinoid," said Topeka police officer Patrick Ladd, with the department's narcotics unit. "It's currently legal in Kansas, only because we haven't tested or explored the prosecution aspect."

Sold under several names, including Spice Gold, Genie, Yucatan Fire and K2, the products don't contain tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the chemical responsible for creating the high associated with marijuana.

Ladd said reactions he has read about of people smoking the herbs have varied from a marijuana-like high with little or no reaction to powerful or bad reactions.

Apparently Kansas has legislation going through to ban it, which will no doubt follow in other states. Jezus, people will do anything to get high, won't they? I guess "wouldn't they always" is more appropriate, as man has sought ways of escaping from reality since time began--which says something, I'm not sure what, as other species have ways of "getting high" too...

Too true, one of the raccoons around here likes his fruit a little fermented, I call him Bummer.

As for escapism, I prefer to work on changing the reality instead of fleeing from it, but then, imma madman...
