Teen dies in car accident after smoking a popular boutique, synthetic marijuana.
A Chicagoland mother is suing a tobacco store after her 19 year old son, Max Dobner, died in a car accident earlier this summer. Max reportedly bought the mixture of herbs called IAroma Hypnotic which Max’s mother, Karen Dobner claims has synthetic marijuana in it. She further alleges that the teen smoked the mixture and then drove off the road at 100 MPH, driving into a house and resulting in her son’s death. The smoking mixture is said to be one of the new boutique, synthetic marijuana mixtures which has seen a steady increase in popularity. With celebrities like Miley Cyrus reportedly smoking similar substances at Hollywood parties, those looking to obtain an alternative to marijuana, which is illegal, have turned to these boutique synthetic “drugs” in order to get high.
Many states have banned the substances, but the government and authorities are having a hard time keeping up with the new ones, released under new names with new formularies. Authorities say that new mixtures come out on the market as quickly as soon as the old one is removed.
According to CBS Chicago, the synthetic marijuana industry has quickly grown into a 1 billion dollar industry.
Max’s mother is now suing the tobacco store which sold her son the mixture. At the time, it was marketed as potpourri. She claims the package failed to mention that synthetic marijuana was included.
The tobacco store who sold Max the product, Cigar Box, located in Aurora, Illinois, is now out of business.
