Many adults and teens have currently been using the Herbal Incense called K2. There have been various cases of paranoia, memory loss, rapid increase in heart rate, and black outs from those who have been using it.
Teenagers want to believe smoking K2 is safe, but it's possible that a user could experience immediate adverse effects. Some smokers pass out. K2 users shouldn't drive after smoking a joint, as the drug effect compares to driving under the influence of alcohol.
Evidence shows that K2 has the potential to damage the lungs, brain, heart, and other vital organs. The drug affects different people in different ways, so there is no way to determine how it will react in an individual.
These side effects are detrimental and should not be taken lightly. The fact that this is legal and sold regularly in convenient stores is outrageous.
How can we tell children to stay drug free when they can legally purchase this incense and it has worse side effects than marijuana?
We, the undersigned, call upon the North Carolina government to outlaw the sale of K2 in North Carolina due to it's serious effects on the body and the mind.
