PHOENIX ― Governor Jan Brewer has signed into law HB 2167, a measure that aims to rein-in the growing popularity of a class of marijuana-like drugs sometimes called “spice” or “K2.”Prior to this legislation, “spice” and similar substances were marketed as a legal alternative to marijuana. Sold by head shops and other retailers, the product is basically a plant-like material that is sprayed with a combination of specific chemical substances and smoked. The chemical compounds can be up to 700 times more potent than the active ingredient in marijuana, and can result in seizures, stroke, anxiety, visual disturbances, racing heartbeat and elevated blood pressure.
