What is it?
K2 or Spice is a mixture of herbs, spices or shredded plant material that is typically sprayed with synthetic compounds known as cannabinoids that are chemically similar to THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.

What does it look like?
K2 is typically sold in small, silvery plastic bags of dried leaves and marketed as incense that can be smoked. It resembles potpourri.
How is it used?
K2 products are smoked in joints or pipes, but some users make it into a tea. They are also sold as liquids to be vaporized and inhaled in e-cigarettes and other devices (liquid incense).
