PADUCAH — Friday felt like déjà vu for a local police drug unit. They seized thousands of dollars in synthetic marijuana from three convenience stores.
You may remember last year, Kentucky banned the sale and use of synthetic marijuana or so called "K-2," but this stuff isn't called K-2.
Each and every package must be sent to a lab for testing but police say they're certian most of it will come back illegal. Then comes the prosecution. The war on synthetic marijuana is proving tougher than the war on the real thing.
The labels clearly say "not intended for human consumption" but Sergeant William Gilbert with Paducah Police knows better.
"Hydro, 420, kush, those are all street terms in referencing marijuana," Gilbert said.
This is a slightly different form of the same stuff that police have confiscated before and it's certianly not incense.
"Normal incense is sold on a stick, maybe a dollar for five or something like that," Gilbert said.
This product is sold in grams and one small package will cost you $30 to $70.
Friday, Paducah Police busted not one, not two, but three Paducah stores selling synthetic marijuana. At one store, which also features adult items, police arrested 25-year-old Shane Myers, who they say was high and had his pockets full of synthetic marijuana
