Make Synthetic Drugs illegal In New Zealand

We want to make K2 (a legal drug that is sold in dairys in New Zealand) illegal.
K2, also known as "fake weed" or "fake pot", is similar to marijuana and very dangerous. It is a synthetic herbal and spice plant mixture created in a laboratory looking like potpourri and containing synthetic cannabinoids. The drug has chemical properties that are similar to marijuana's active ingredient delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It's about 10 times more active than THC.
Because chemicals used in K2 are synthetic and different from THC, they are not subjected to the present drug regulations.
Most often, K2 is smoked like marijuana rolled into cigarette. It is also smoked from pipes. It is more potent than most varieties of marijuana. Several kinds are sold in stores with different flavors and with names like Standard, Blue, Blonde, Summit, Pink, Genie and Citron. It is mainly produced in China and in Korea where it is sold as stimulant for plant growth. Its manufacturer is unknown and has so far remained a mystery.
Because K2 is a mixture of herbal and spice plants, teens and young adults believe that it is safe. However, the drug is sprayed with psychotic drug similar to THC and may be highly contaminated.
K2 is very dangerous, in fact, much more dangerous than marijuana. It has many negative effects. Reported adverse effects are hallucinations, delusions, blurry vision, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, increased agitation, pale skin, elevated blood pressure, fast heart beat, and even seizures and loss of consciousness.
According to experts, ingredients in K2 are more potent than marijuana's THC. With its brain-altering effects, K2 can be catastrophic causing irreversible damage to the brain.
In most countries of continental Europe and in Scandinavian countries, K2 is banned. Also, Germany, France, Great Britain, Russia and Poland are working on the legislature to ban the sale of synthetic cannabis.
There have been cases of people committing suicide while on K2 and being violent towards others.
We want to make this illegal because of its harmful effects and the danger it can cause. It shouldn't be sold in dairys and be so easily accessible. People need to learn about this drug and know that it is not safe for you to use! We have learnt from our own experience of the dangers of smoking K2 and this is why we have made this petition. We want it illegal in New Zealand!
