There is a growing number of synthetic marijuana alternatives that are creating a disastrous affect not only in the workplace, but among our youth, as well.

On March 1, 2011 the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration banned 5 synthetic compounds making it illegal to distribute or possess them in the United States.

Synthetic marijuana is a herbal smoke blend marketed under brand names such as K2, K3, Spice, Genie, Smoke, Pot-pourri, Pulse, Hush, Mystery, Earthquake, Ocean Blue, Stinger, Serenity, and more.

When smoked, the chemical-based material mimics the negative results of THC, but can be up to 100 times the potency level. Physical consequences can be tingling skin, appetite stimulation, lightheadedness, confusion, nausea, vomiting, and frightening effects to the cardiovascular system, such as increased heart rate and blood pressure.

Reports indicate the “high” can have psychoactive and somatic effects including euphoria, increased alertness, restlessness, sudden mood changes liking to humor, sadness, and other emotions, severe paranoia, and reddening of the eyes, or even severe life-threatening hallucinations.

The need to expand drug testing to include synthetic marijuana is more vital than ever. Give us a call to learn more about K2 testing today.
