Hi


Different K2 incense packages.

For Video...And Comments...

A recent death of a teenager in Dallas has brought to light a legal drug called K-2. Up until Wednesday, K2 was legally sold in the city of Dallas. As of Wednesday it has now been banned for sale, possession and use in Dallas.

What is K2?

It is natural incense with herbs and spices that also contains the synthetic cannabis JWH-018. When smoked, it can cause intoxication similar to that achieved when smoking marijuana. This “incense” does not show up on drug tests, which has made it popular with youngsters. It was, according to the K2 website, "not intended for human consumption”.

The Dallas area has experienced teenagers showing up in hospitals with chest pains and heart palpitations after having used K2. One teen had a heart attack but survived. 19-year-old Dominique Tate, who died Friday in Dallas, used K2 regularly and it is suspected in his death. Because it does not show up on current toxicology tests, it is hard to know if it caused Mr. Tate’s death.

11 states have made the sale of K2 illegal, but Texas is not yet one of those states. It has been up to individual cities and counties to ban the substance. Kaufman County parents should be on alert for K2 use amongst their kids. At this time, K2 is not illegal in Kaufman County. Please watch the WFAA video below for more information on K2.
