Don't worry, dude. There still may be a way to get a quasi-legal high despite a statewide ban.

Both the Missouri House and Senate have approved legislation that would ban K2 and other brands of fake marijuana.

Now legislators plan to reconcile "minor differences" in the two bills before sending final legislation to Gov. Jay Nixon, reports the Post-Dispatch this morning. The ban carries an "emergency clause" that would outlaw products such as K2 once the governor signs final bill into law.

But will this ban really stop people from achieving a (quasi-) legal high? Not necessarily as St. Charles has recently found out...

There a bait store (yes, bait store) and a head shop (more predictable) have begun selling other brands of fake marijuana that don't have the chemical makeup of K2 and other brands targeted by the impending Missouri ban.

One of those products is called Sky Tsunami.

If it weren't for the prohibition of marijuana, folks would not buy k2 incense alternatives. Why would they? If people had legal access to the real deal they would not be hunting down k2 herb and the like. Just as the government has wasted endless resources chasing down marijuana, now they are going to do the same with this incense stuff. It is ridiculous and wasteful in more ways than one. How long have these products been banned, and there are still places advertising legal everywhere products like those found at http://www.buyherbalincense.com .
The best option is a mortar and pestle. This will help to crush the herbs, while allowing them to maintain their aromatic properties. Ultimately, it will help to maximize the effectiveness of the herbs as incense. On the other hand, you should definitely avoid using tools such as electric coffee grinders. The ultra-fast speed creates heat that causes the herbs to lose some of their aromas. Save those grinders for woods and of course-coffee.
It is blatantly obvious that prohibition just doesn't work. K2 herb has survived all these bans thus far. If people want to buy k2 smoke, it looks like they are going to have no problems doing it as there are places like, http://www.k2incense.org that have k2 incense products that aren't restricted by any current bans. I think our founding fathers would be appalled by how The Constitution is being stomped on. Let us have more respect for our individual liberties and take more personal responsibility. Parent your children, stop looking to Mommy Government to do it for you with all these ineffective and oppressive laws.
Then when they finally make all the different flavors of this "fake pot" illegal, kids can save gas money by going back to pharming in any medicine cabinets they can get into for other "chemicals" like oxycontin. Let's face it, doctors hand pills out more than lollipops and bubble gum I remember getting as a child. Truth is, there are plenty of things in YOUR house that could create a "head change" that are a lot more dangerous than this stuff our politicians are so busy demonizing... gasoline, air duster, spray paint, rubbing alcohol, ALCOHOL......
Ha! And K4, K5, K6...!
When you ban K2, doesn't K3 appear on the market the following week?
