While Spice has been around a bit longer than bath salts — experts say it first appeared in the U.S. in 2004 — the word didn’t go out on the dangers of the drug until a couple of years ago. The problem being that most people assumed that, as a copy of marijuana, spice couldn’t be that worrisome. But they were wrong. Widely sold in gas stations, liquor stores, convenient stores, head shops and smoke shops, as well as online. Teens are getting high on an emerging drug called "fake weed," a concoction also known as K2 and "spice" that is also causing hallucinations, vomiting, agitation and other dangerous effects.
