Is Your Teen Doing K2? What Parents Should Know About Synthetic Marijuana

SafetySmart Lilburn talks this week about the rising use and concern of synthetic marijuana, which goes by the names of K2, Mr. Happy, Spice and more.

K2, Mr. Happy, Spice, Phantom Wicked Dreams, Clown Loyal, Mr Nice Guy, Lava, Wicked Spice, Flame 2.0 are product names for Synthetic Cannabinoid (SC), or Synthetic Marijuana.

Georgia State Board of Pharmacy Issues Emergency Ban on Synthetic Marijuana

An increasing amount of synthetic marijuana has a new molecular structure not previously covered under Chase's Law.

Georgia Lawmakers did the right thing in April by passing SB370, Chase’s Law, which was promptly signed by Governor Nathan Deal. The law prohibited the sale of synthetic cannibus and was broad enough to cover those formulas classified after manufacturers tweaked formulas to get around a 2010 law. Manufacturers and distributors have once again become creative in ways to circumvent the legislation by changing the basic chemical/molecular structure so that it isn’t covered under Chase’s Law. With the legislative session over for the year, there’s little that could be done to address this new threat that wasn’t covered in SB370. But a GBI/GDNA News Release post on the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy’s Facebook Page shows that last …

Inside Police Reports: Man Busted with 'Black Death'

Lilburn PD makes arrest for possession of fake pot in the parking lot of a Walgreens.

Four young men loitering in a Walgreens store at 4235 Lawrenceville Highway drew the attention of a Lilburn Police officer on May 20. They were up to no good. As the officer watched the men — ages 20 to 27 — he saw one of them place a metal tube in his mouth and light the top. When the office approached the group he found that the tube was a modified aluminum pen with a hole drilled into the top.
