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.

all of the things you mentioned can be used both responsibly, ie wont harm society, as well as abused so that they will.
Also, if you think pot reduces productivity more so than booze you are sadly mistaken.
My brother had a great friend. Was a great fellow to be around with…that is until they got drunk and drove off the road into the canyon and he flew out the window.
Ah, great times. Drinks and Pot for everyone!

I wasn’t aware that the government had a constitutional duty to improve workplace productivity.
By your logic they should ban books, television, and the internet too.
People are so ignorant about drugs it is hilarious. They put down stoners while downing 3 cups of coffee and coca-cola a day, eating chocolate bars, smoking cigarettes and capping it all off with a cocktail or 2. Let’s not even mention all the prescription drugs people are addicted to. But since your benevolent government says it is ok to do these things and not pot, you follow like the good little obedient sheep that you are. Well, that’s your prerogative. But don’t expect everyone else to act like lemmings.
#20 – Jeff – Why don’t you allow adults to make their own decisions? If an adult chooses to get his contentment from XYZ instead of god, family, or friends, that’s his choice. And how the hell does government give anyone contentment (unless you’re in power, because then you are the one doing the screwing). Do you think adults are like children? Do they need a nanny to make their decisions for them? You fail to realize that government is run by people, who have faults just like everyone else. Instead of looking to government to run your life, why don’t you try making your own decisions and living with the consequences like an adult? Ban a substance! Heavy regulation! That’s like keeping your toddler out of the cookie jar. Start treating people like adults and they will eventually start acting like adults.
Some of these states are absolutely frantic over this, but it’s not because they care about the health of the people. Don’t be fooled into believing that. Look at all the FDA approved toxins in the food you eat. They want you to get high off their drugs. You know, the ones with a million and one side effects that they advertise on tv all day long.
