520 _aNot derived from the marijuana plant, synthetic cannabinoid, also called synthetic marijuana, is a street drug promoted as producing the same effects as marijuana. Also known as K2 or spice, this unregulated product can contain potentially harmful contaminants that are sending more users to the ED. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, synthetic cannabinoid-related ED visits involving adolescents age 12 to 17 doubled from 2010 to 2011; among those age 18 to 20, the number quadrupled in that period. In 2011, males accounted for about 79% of synthetic cannabinoid-related ED visits, but visits by females tripled between 2010 and 2011.
