Thousands of emergency-room visits have been triggered by the use of a drug called K2, also known as spice or synthetic marijuana, which has been sold in bodegas for as little as $1. The drug has been attracting users because it is less expensive and possession is merely a health code violation. But it appears to be more dangerous than marijuana, as it comes in many formulations, and users sometimes become violent. City Councilman Rafael Espinal said last week, “Legalizing marijuana would go a long way toward dissolving the K2 market.”
