We received the following information that we felt was important to share with our families:
There is an incredibly dangerous substance our kids are being exposed to, called SPICE or K2. It is 15 times more powerful than marijuana. Tremors, seizures, elevated heart rate, black outs…
It's legal in 44 states (including AZ) and easily accessible. It is sold over-the-counter at smoke shops, swap meets, etc.
Please take a few minutes to look over the following PowerPoint, provided by the Tempe Union High School District.
