Spice drug tests, for the instant detection of a deadly substance called K2,K3, spice.
K2 or “Spice” (Synthetic Marijuana) is an illicit drug that is comprised of a mixture of herbs and spices, typically sprayed with a synthetic compound that is chemically similar to THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. The most common chemical compounds of K2 include HU-210, HU-211, JWH-018, and JWH-073. K2 is often marketed in head shops, tobacco shops, or over the Internet as incense or “fake weed”. Unknown product origin and amount of chemical compound in the organic material are just two of the many risks associated with K2/Spice.

Overdose effects
There have been no reported deaths from overdose. Legal status in the United States On Tuesday, March 1, 2011, DEA published a final order in the Federal Register temporarily placing five synthetic cannabinoids into Schedule I of the CSA. The order became effective on March 1, 2011. The substances placed into Schedule I are 1-pentyl-3-(1-naphthoyl) indole (JWH-018), 1-butyl-3-(1-naphthoyl) indole (JWH-073), 1-[2-(4 morpholinyl) ethyl]- 3-(1-naphthoyl)indole (JWH-200), 5-(1,1-dimethylheptyl)-2-[(1R,3S)-3 hydroxycyclohexyl]-phenol (CP-47,497), and 5-(1,1-dimethyloctyl)-2- [(1R,3S)-3 hydroxycyclohexyl]-phenol (cannabicyclohexanol; CP-47,497 C8 homologue).
This action is based on a finding by the Administrator that the placement of these synthetic cannabinoids into Schedule I of the CSA is necessary to avoid an imminent hazard to the public safety.
As a result of this order, the full effect of the CSA and its implementing regulations including criminal, civil and administrative penalties, sanctions, and regulatory controls of Schedule I substances will be imposed on the manufacture, distribution, possession, importation, and exportation of these synthetic cannabinoids.
