Synthetic Marijuana may be related to three deaths

DENVER, Colo. Officials believe synthetic marijuana has taken the lives of three people on the Front Range, and now experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating.

"Spice," "K2" or "Black Mamba" are names for the drug, which is distributed in little packets.


Police believe that a bad batch is being spread around and has left more than 75 people in area emergency rooms, several of those are on life support.

The dangerous drug can be 800 times more potent than THC, the chemical in marijuana that makes you high.

Investigators are currently looking into where people are getting the drugs.
