The City of Bryan is following in the footsteps of College Station Tuesday night after unanimously approving an ordinance banning K-2.

"We stopped selling it at 12 o'clock midnight and I mean we've had a few customers ask about it but I think everybody knows that it's banned and I mean it kind has affected but I don't think it will be that bad," said Megan Etheridge, who works at the Exxon Tigerland Express Store on Wellborn Road in College Station.

"We sell lots of beer, that's mainly what we sell, we sell everything pretty much anything they want the owner buys," Etheridge said.

One thing they aren't selling anymore is K-2 which is similar to marijuana and according to the creator himself, is up to 30 percent more powerful.

The City of College Station banned the substances with a new ordinance that went into effect on Sunday.

On Tuesday night the City of Bryan voted unanimously to ban K-2 and related paraphernalia as well.

"This was recommended by the police department and you know we had many comments I know it was controversial one way or the other, something the council felt was important for the safety of our citizens," said Bryan Mayor Jason Bienski.

The new ordinance makes it a Class C Misdemeanor to use, possess, or sell K2 and it's related products within the city limits and carries a fine up to $2,000.

"They are identical amongst the two cities, the twin cities," Mayor Bienski said.

The new rules go into effect on September 11th.
