An emerging drug has police officers and healthcare workers alike scratching their heads. K2, as the drug is called, provides a marijuana-like high. It's undetectable through regular means of drug detection which makes it even more difficult to get a handle on. And although it can prompt severe panic attacks, K2 is easily accessible, and worse—it's legal—which is making police work harder for the Chicago region.
