Synthetic Marijuana or K2-Spice is Addictive and Dangerous

Spice is commonly known as herbal incense and when smoked, its impact is reported to be many times more powerful than THC in marijuana. The DEA recently took action against the sale of these herbal mixtures and placed them on the Schedule I list of drugs. This so called synthetic marijuana is currently legal in the US and has been banned in many countries in Europe including Germany, France and the U.K.

Spice has hallucinogenic properties that create withdrawal symptoms that are uncomfortable both physically and psychologically. Once addicted to spice, the addict will have intense cravings. People who are addicted will be unable to sit still and focus and will have extreme mood changes growing nasty and become increasingly aggressive.
