Pharmacy board bans K2 synthetic marijuana

Submitted by dguard on
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. The pharmacy board's move is temporary; it would take legislative action to make it permanent. 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.
