Today, the Sheriff’s Office issued a warning about a drug
called “Spice.” Earlier this month, two teens were found in Sultan who had
overdosed after smoking the synthetic marijuana drug. Both teens were hospitalized
and suffered symptoms such as seizures, hallucinations and vomiting.
Spice, also known as “K2,” “potpourri” and “Black Voodoo” is a designer drug similar to some that have been in the market place for a few years. Like “bath salts,” Spice is available at smoke shops and convenience stores. Most of these drugs are not illegal. Some attempts to make them illegal have been frustrated by amateur chemists changing the chemical composition of the drug. Frequently, the drugs have a warning that they are not for “human consumption.”
