Mr. Nice Guy k2 spray

“Mr. Nice Guy” K2 spray is not a legitimate, shoppable product but is a dangerous and illegal street drug, also known as synthetic marijuana. It is a synthetic cannabinoid sprayed onto shredded plant material that is smoked or vaporized. Its use is linked to severe health risks, including psychiatric emergencies, acute kidney failure, and death.

Dangers of Mr. Nice Guy (K2/Spice)

• More dangerous than marijuana: Synthetic cannabinoids bind more strongly to the brain’s receptors than THC (the main psychoactive component in marijuana), which leads to more intense, unpredictable, and dangerous effects.
• Unknown chemical composition: Illegally manufactured, these products can have different chemical compositions from one batch to the next, increasing the risk of an overdose. Some batches have been found to be contaminated with highly toxic substances, such as the anticoagulant rat poison brodifacoum.
• Severe health effects: Use of synthetic cannabinoids has been linked to severe, and sometimes fatal, health complications, including:
  • Neurological: Seizures, tremors, hallucinations, psychosis, paranoia, and agitation.
  • Cardiovascular: High blood pressure, chest pain, irregular heartbeat, heart attack, and heart failure.
  • Renal: Acute kidney injury, which may require hospitalization and dialysis.
• High potential for addiction: Synthetic cannabinoids can be highly addictive. Withdrawal symptoms, which can be severe, include anxiety, cravings, insomnia, nausea, and nightmares.
• Marketed deceptively: These products are often sold in small, colorful packages that resemble potpourri or herbal incense and labeled “not for human consumption” to evade regulation
