Synthetic marijuana/cannabinoids, are dangerous man-made chemicals that are labeled as "not for human consumption" and "potpourri/herbal incenses" in order to mask their intended purpose as drugs, and avoid Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory oversight of the manufacturing process. Synthetic marijuana/cannabinoid use can result in side effects such as severe agitation/anxiety, nausea, vomiting, tremors/seizures, extreme paranoia, hallucinations/delusions, violent behavior, suicidal thoughts/actions and death.

Before The Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act of 2012 made synthetic marijuana/cannabinoids illegal, people, especially teenagers, could legally buy these products from gas stations, convenience stores, smoke shops, and local malls. Unfortunately, loopholes in The Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act of 2012, as well as state laws, have allowed manufactures to stay one step ahead of the law.

Thousands of people, especially teenagers, have been deceived by synthetic marijuana/cannabinoids products' colorful names, such as "K2", "Spice", "Scooby Snax," and, as a result, suffered serious injuries and even death. These tragic and painful experiences are even more difficult knowing that these serious injuries and deaths could have been avoided. And while monetary compensation cannot make up for these injuries, holding the responsible party accountable can give victims some peace of mind and lead to changes that will hopefully prevent future tragedies.

At the Collins Law Firm in Naperville, we are dedicated to holding the manufacturers and sellers of these dangerously deceptive products accountable for their actions.
