In a move that will likely drive the sale of it underground into the black market, the Iowa Board of Pharmacy voted Tuesday to ban the sale of K2, a synthetic version of marijuana that is sold as incense.

Iowa House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, D-Des Moines, predicted legislators from both parties would be "friendly" toward any proposal to make the ban permanent.
