By now in the year of our lord 2018 most people understand what marijuana is and what it can do. Weeds influence is in the media, in music, movies, television, culture in general and now can be bought legally in stores. People are becoming much more relaxed about the drug that in years prior was still being demonized. Now, marijuana is booming, and the green revolution is happening. Marijuana is being used recreationally to have fun and relax as well as being used in medicine to treat pain, cancer, headaches, PTSD, depression and many more issues. Aside from it now being fully legal, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

But this is America, and capitalism will wrap it’s strong grip around anything it can. Where there is a natural substance we will create a synthetic one. This is the case with weeds greatest imposter, K2. It has many names, K2, spice, black mamba, and the best, sexy monkey.
K2 wants to mirror weed but what it is, is a horrible imitation of one of the most laid back drugs on the planet. Essentially K2 isn’t weed at all, whoever got away with saying it’s supposed to be synthetic weed should lose everything. K2 is synthetically made chemicals that are supposed to give the user the same effect as smoking weed, except it is simply sprayed onto some herbs that can be smoked. K2 is horrible and in no way imitates the ‘high’ that you get from weed, it is in fact, much more dangerous. Also it doesn’t even look like weed, it looks like trail mix, or the worst possible weed you could get in the 60’s.
Spice is incredibly dangerous, people over dose from it all the time, and can even die from smoking the fake weed. Spice actually has a death toll, unlike marijuana that does not. Just this week a bad spice outbreak in D.C. led to a staggering 244 over doses from the drug. That might just be more than anyone who’s been hurt by weed in it’s existence.
The worst thing about the synthetic fake weed is that there is no way to tell the dosage of synthetic cannabinoids or even what exactly is in them. Spice is usually made up of synthetic substances that are sprayed on try herbs and sold with a pitch that it will mimic weed. This is obviously not true. Linking this drug to weed is incredibly deceiving and even damning to real weed. This is like caffeine being compared to crack, there shouldn’t be one.
Spice is illegal in the U.S. but scientists and makers are getting around it and using loopholes to continue to get it on the streets. They simply twist the chemical makeup so that it will pass regulation. So the bottom line is ignore the spice and keep puffing on some all natural kush.
