This year there has been a high increase in the amount of people going into the hospital. There were 2700 alone in January while there were only 3200 cases last year alone. People have been smoking fake drugs that have very harmfull poisons in them. Such things called "spice" or "k2".The products are often packaged as incense or bath salts and can be obtained for as little as $10 at many head shops. As more people experiment with them, the results are becoming evident at hospitals: a sharp spike in the number of users who show up with problems ranging from labored breathing and rapid heartbeats to extreme paranoia and delusions. The symptoms can persist for days.

This is by far the stupidest thing people should be doing right now. I mean seriously. Some kids just dont want to actually to the real stuff so they used the legal stuff that has now killed many people and harmed many others. I say its almost safer to legalize and tax drugs because drugs are not very harmfull to people at all. In fact, pot is better for you than cigaretes are and other smoking tabacos. But also people just need to take responsibilty for their actions and grow up and stop doing dumb things like k2 and drugs for that matter.
