What is Spice/ K2, Synthetic Marijuana?

K2 and Spice are just two of the various trade names or brands for synthetic designer drugs that aim to replicate THC, the primary psychoactive component of marijuana. These designer synthetic drugs belong to the synthetic cannabinoid class and are commonly marketed and sold under the pretense of being “herbal incense” or “potpourri.

These products are unfortunately being misused for their psychoactive effects and are sold without any information regarding their potential health and safety risks.

How is it abused?

Spraying or mixing the synthetic cannabinoids on plant material provides a vehicle for the most common route of administration – smoking (using a pipe, a water pipe, or rolling the drug-laced plant material in cigarette papers). In addition to the cannabinoids laced on plant material and sold as potpourri and incense, liquid cannabinoids have been designed to be vaporized through both disposable and reusable electronic cigarettes.

What are its effect on the body?

State public health and poison centers have issued warnings in response to adverse health effects associated with abuse of herbal incense products containing these synthetic cannabinoids. These adverse effects included tachycardia (elevated heart rate), elevated blood pressure, unconsciousness, tremors, seizures, vomiting, hallucinations, agitation, anxiety, pallor, numbness, and tingling. This is in addition to the numerous public health and poison centers which have similarly issued warnings regarding the abuse of these synthetic cannabinoids. In some instances, the adverse health effects can be long-lasting even after the user quits using the substances.

Is K2 / Spice / Synthetic Marijuana Legal in Michigan?

In October 2010, seven artificial marijuana chemicals (JWH-015, JWH-018, JWH-073, JWH200, JWH-250, CP-47,497, HU-210) were made illegal in Michigan with penalties similar to marijuana possession (yeah they can still get ya in 2024 for weed)

5 Products that contain one or more of these chemicals are illegal.

However, as new formulas or versions of these drugs are marketed, they may contain chemicals not covered by the current law.

What if I have more questions?

The Michigan PCC is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer medical questions or concerns related to poisoning events. The PCC Help Hotline is: 1-800-222-1222.
