In just a matter of days, K2 will be illegal in College Station. Even though the ban doesn't go into effect until Sunday, many stores have already taken it off their shelves.

The store manager at the Exxon across the street from A&M Consolidated High School stopped selling it four days ago. Since then, he says, sales have dropped twenty-five to thirty percent.
The manager says his store rakes in a few hundred bucks a week on spice sales, but people who come in to buy it normally pick up other items as well.

"They come in here and tell me they don't stop here because we don't sell K2. So they are spending their money in other cities outside College Station and Bryan. I can already see a difference in just four days."

This is normally his busiest time of year. Students are back in town and high school kids are back in class, but he says he isn't expecting business to pick up anytime soon.
