FACTS: Fake weed also known as K2/Spice, legal bud, and synthetic marijuana is an herbal mixture that contains dried, shredded plant material and harmful chemical additives.
It's often marketed directly to youth through some but not all local smoke shop businesses, sold in 3-ounce plastic pouches decorated with colorful designs, including cartoon characters and recognizable logos. It's also sold in gas station and convenience store businesses as potpourri or incense.
These synthetic chemical compounds are extremely harmful and unsafe for people to consume or ingest by smoking, drinking or eating. Many users believe the false advertising, smoke it like marijuana, and die.
