ROCK HILL, SC (WBTV) - After a decade on the decline, drug use in on the rise among teens. According to a report issued by Partnership at DrugFree.org the most common drugs used among teenagers are marijuana and ecstasy.
But a new craze among young people has parents worried. It's known as K-2 or Spice or "fake pot." It's sold as incense but smoked to get high.
"The synthetic drugs are gaining a lot popularity in the market and it's kinda scary in that they are not natural and they are both stimulants and depressants at the same time," Jason Collett said.
Collett is the CEO of a new drug testing center in Rock Hill called ARCpoint.
As a parent, Collett says he wanted to do something to keep kids and the community safe.
His business offers ways for parents to test for drugs and alcohol in the privacy on their own home.
"This isn't about catching the kid after the fact but this can actually be a deterrent," Collett said.
Collett says his company can also do passive exposure tests. It can show if a kid was around drugs whether or not they ingested any.
Collett says most of the tests are relatively inexpensive and lab based tests take a week to 10 days to get results.
The center is located in the Earth Fare Shopping Center on Cherry Road in Rock Hill.

I've seen these tests done before. It's where they stick you in an interrogation room and threaten to lock you up for 10 years unless you snitch.
