TROUP – The Troup City Council has voted to ban the incense called K2. The city’s Police Chief Pat Hendrix requested an ordinance banning the use, selling, displaying, and possession the incense. K2 is legal in Texas right now, but Chief Hendrix says it’s 100 times more potent than THC, the active component in marijuana.
KETK-TV reports K2 is marketed as incense however kids are getting their hands on it and are smoking the herb. Chief Hendrix says this causes a series of unpredictable side effects that could lead to permanent bodily damage or even in some cases death. Earlier this week two young men were taken to the hospital, telling officers and hospital staff that they had inhaled K2.
