Police seized more than $2,500 in synthetic pot at an Exeter convenience store earlier this month in an investigation into the alleged sale of drugs packaged as “Aloha,” ‘”Skunk” and “Peak Extreme” containing the chemical AM-2201, which has been linked to panic attacks, vomiting, seizures and more.
Deaths from several synthetic drugs have been reported across the country over the past year. In July, President Obama signed a law banning synthetic drugs.
If a business is OK with making a few dollars at the risk of killing a teenager, people need to strongly consider whether to patronize that establishment.
