Also known as K2 or Spice, synthetic marijuana is available in states across the country, and it has the Drug Enforcement Administration deeply troubled.

When ABC News sent the type of Spice sold in Minnesota to a Pennsylvania laboratory (NMS Labs), reports showed the drug contained chemicals that the Drug Enforcement Administration believes could be five times more powerful than marijuana.
