Marijuana users advised to be careful about what they smoke after deadly substance uncovered

Drug and law enforcement officials are on high alert following the discovery of the deadly synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) on the island.

Director of the Forensics Sciences Centre Cheryl Corbin confirmed at a press conference on Wednesday that a sample of a previously unknown substance submitted to the centre on August 3, had tested positive for two types of SCs – MDMB 4en Pinaca and 4-Fluoro MDMB Butica – listed as new psychotropic substances (NPS) encountered by law enforcement.

Synthetic cannabinoids are substances made in laboratories that mimic the biological effects of THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.

In light of several videos circulating on social media recently, showing people behaving strangely after using a substance, Corbin advised marijuana users to be sure of what they are smoking.
