Synthetic Cannabinoids DUI Conviction

Congratulations to Brentwood officer Stan Boyd and ADA Kelly Lawrence for their recent conviction of a synthetic cannabinoid DUI offender. The driver had smoked "incense" and was impaired. The TBI tox screen came back negative. The blood sample was then sent to NMS labs in Pennsylvania, a private toxicology lab that has the capability to test for synthetic cannabinoids. The result came back as positive for JWH-250, which confirmed the officer's observations.

JWH-250 is found in “Spikey XXX Gold,” “Pandora Aromatic Potpourri,” “Ed Hardy Legal Earth” and dozens more. The products are made by spraying the active chemicals on perfumed and crushed plant leaves, stems and petals, then smoking the “incense” in a cigarette or water pipe.
