K2 Synthetic Marijuana Available in Abilene May be More Dangerous than Real Pot [VIDEO]

K2 is an herbal and chemical compound product that affects the brain just like marijuana when smoked. K2 is most often sold as incense and the high in K2 comes from synthetic cannabinoids that act like THC the active chemical in marijuana that affects the brain and causes the high. Some experts say K2 is 10 times more potent that regular marijuana, so less is smoked to get a greater high effect. The big selling point is "with K2 you will not fail a drug test when you smoke it." Not true says Any Lab Test Now, who has a specific K2 test that check for at least four other chemicals as well.

The online and in store ads claim "The high is just like weed, but more powerful with no hangover and it's not detectible." Wrong says Amanda Diaz with Any Lab Test Now she says “we’ve noticed an increase of more teenage kids being tested for all kinds of drugs but we've really noticed an increase in K2 testing, which we can usually have results back within two minutes.” Amanda says that the test results for ‘legal and/or illegal’ substances are in most cases returned with two minutes.

Always check with an expert before firing that employee or grounding your teenager. Amanda Diaz says "you don't need a prescription or warrant to have anyone tested and the results are always kept very confidential (no law enforcement will involved).
