At least 14 people overdosed on the drug “spice” in downtown Indianapolis, according to reports this week.
Spice, which is known as K2, is a type of synthetic cannabinoid that tries to imitate the effects of marijuana. Cannabicyclohexanol, JWH-018, JWH-073, or HU-210 are the synthetic drugs used, and they’re usually sprayed on dried plant matter and smoked. They can cause hallucinations, delusions, or violent behavior within individuals who consume the substance.
