OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – State drug enforcement officials and educators say there is now a synthetic form of marijuana that may be able to avoid drug test detection.

The drug called K2 is a mixture of herbs and chemicals and is sold legally as incense, but it can also be smoked.

The director of the Oklahoma Outreach Sober School for students recovering from addiction says students have told her about the drug. Tina Barker says educators began noticing about a month ago some odd behavior from students.
