What is K2 SPICE and why do people call it the Zombie drug?

K2 spice or zombie drug or spice is a plant-based mix of herbs laced with synthetic chemicals meant to mimic cannabis’s psychoactive substances. It has a flaky texture, green in color and is usually smoked. It’s both strong and cheap, making it appealing to some of society’s most assailable groups, including the homeless.

What is Spice made of?

The origins of the chemicals used to cut K2Spice date back to the mid-90s when American chemist John Huffman was studying the impact of cannabis on the brain.

The production of synthetic compounds involved in the experiment led to the creation of a new compound, JWH-018.

Fast forward over two decades and most Spice sold on the streets doesn’t even contain JWH-018. it contains variations of instead which are both untested and unreliable.

how do I tell the difference between weed and k2 spice?

If you’ve had even the smallest amount of experience with marijuana, you’ll know when you’ve smoked some fake goods. Firstly, k2 spice will never be sold in buds because, as mentioned above, it’s a mixture of dried household herbs and plant matter sprayed with chemicals.

You should always be wary with any crumbly cannabis sold loose rather than in nice tender buds, but note especially if there are lots of variances in color and texture. zombie drug also has a chemical smell to it, which will interact with whatever shitty herbs it’s been sprayed on.

To point out the obvious, if it doesn’t look like weed, smell like weed, or taste like weed — it isn’t weed.

Why is K2 spice  called the ‘Zombie Drug?’

Spice also goes by the name of “Zombie Drug,” due to the zombie-like state it can leave consumers in.

The issue became so widespread that videos of people slumped on park benches and the like went viral on social media, prompting a trend of “zombie hunting” on sites like Facebook, tweeter, Reddit, and Instagram.

how harmful is k2 Spice?

most people always ask the question “is K2 harmful” well yes it is.  Substances like Spice and K2 – which contain smokable plant material coated with synthetic cannabinoids or other substances – are often sold in gas stations and head shops. Because Spice can be purchased legally in many places, and because it is often advertised as a “natural” marijuana alternative, many use it under the guise of safety. Being easily obtainable, and with public perception as an innocuous natural high–Spice and K2 carry much appeal to teens and younger adults.

Synthetic marijuana, however, is not natural and can have a number of dangerous side effects. It can also be addictive and can produce severe spice withdrawal symptoms in those who discontinue use.

In fact, many countries, states and other localities have made synthetic marijuana illegal due to its side effects. Today, most leading government and industry health organizations officially view synthetic cannabinoids as dangerous and addictive drugs.
