HEALTH CANADA WARNS AGAINST FAKE POT

The pot may be fake, but the potential dangers are real. That's the
message health authorities in Canada and the United States are sending
out about a herbal incense product that, when smoked, mimics some of
the effects of marijuana.

Sold under brand names such as K2, Spice and Yucatan Fire, the packets
of dried herbs are infused with one or more synthetic cannabinoids --
molecules that mirror the psychoactive properties in marijuana. While
these products can deliver a marijuana-like high, they've also been
known to have other troubling side-effects, authorities say.
