This is just now coming out? And there is no test that will reveal you’ve smoked it.

Will K2 synthetic marijuana get you high?

Last week, The Kansas City Star and metro TV news were brooding over K2, a legal synthetic pot.

It supposedly gives you the same high as marijuana and was legally available for purchase for $15 a bag at shops in Lawrence.

Of course, the cops don’t like it. And legislators want to ban it.

But in all this fuss, no one has actually said whether K2 gets you high.

The answer is important because (a) if it doesn’t get you stoned, lawmakers have better things to do than pass unnecessary laws to curry political points and (b) you have better things to do than drive around searching for barely legal faux-reefer if it doesn’t work.

So in the interest of investigating political intent and protecting consumers, the Pitch Action News Team took a day trip to the Sacred Journey — a Lawrence botanical store — bought two bags of K2 and smoked up in the parking lot like a bunch of high school kids getting stoned before first bell.

From a regular pot smoker: “I was satisfied with the high I got. It didn’t last long, but I did feel some visual effects (things appeared bright, slightly blurry) and a relaxed physical state. I thought the Blonde was more smooth on the lungs and tasted better.

From a moderate: “As a sometimes-to-moderate pot smoker, I think K2’s high is pretty comparable to the buzz you get from smoking a oney of middies. We smoked two joints.
