There are many reasons why people get high. The most common reason is simply because it makes them feel good. The main drawback for most want-to-get-high people is that getting high takes substances that are mostly illegal. Until K2 along came. This new herbal spice concoction seems to deliver where most herbal blends don't; a substitute for marijuana that's legal. K2 delivers the cannabinoid-like effect commonly associated with smoking marijuana.
The body actually has endogenous cannabinoids which are a part of the endo-cannabinoid system. This system is involved in some of the processes that are controlled in the brain that relate to pain, mood, appetite and memory. The cannabinoids either endogenous or synthetic bind to the specific nerve receptors CB1 and CB2. These receptors are important in neurotransmission. If the chemical binds closer to the receptor the more effective it will be. The synthetic cannabinoid JW 018, that is added to K2, binds tightly to the receptor and as a result researchers say that the chemical is up to 5 times more potent than marijuana.
It has being reported that some users have suffered atypical reactions that require hospitalization after K2 use. Typical symptoms of those calling poison control centers or presenting themselves to ER include; an increased heart rate, paranoia, psychotic behavior and even loss of consciousness. Another study also concluded that K2 users suffer withdrawal symptoms associated with drug use (Zimmerman et al). These two observations have been widely disputed especially by K2 users who claim no adverse effects related to the use of the herbal concoction. However, this could be dependent on the concentration and purity of the synthetic cannabinoids found in the different batches of K2.
