Urinary screening test for K2 (synthetic cannabinoids, spice)

The NarcoCheck^® K2 rapid test strip is an immunoassay for fast the detection in human urine of synthetic cannabis of type "K2". This synthetic cannabis is now also known as SPICE.

Synthetic cannabis has nothing to do with natural cannabis. It is actually an active chemical and artificial substance. It is called "cannabis" because it mimics natural cannabis by acting on the same receptors of the organism, namely the CB1 and CB2 receptors.

Its chemical composition is completely different from natural cannabis, and as such, synthetic cannabis must be screened with a test specific to it, just like any other drug.

Whatever the name used, synthetic cannabis, spice, K2, or "herbal incense", these substances are now totally illegal and classified as narcotics.
