stashes. >> we'd find them in slim jim boxes under the counter. >> the stores tried to use trap doors in their floors and other unconvin unconventional hide being places. >> and we would hide them in purses and water coolers. >> they beefed up the nuisance law allowing them to bring heavy fines like electronics on bloomingdales and smileys. >> and it would allow us to get it without having to prove that the substance was illil synthetic drugs. so far, no one's gone to prison. to bring a criminal case, he needs to prove the drugs contain illegal chemicals requiring complicated testing. >> we're finding a number of these synthetics that we're concentrate on the registry and those are the cases we're

couple of years. >> then what's the attraction? is it the low price? >> it is the low price. they have found in colorado, for instance, where marijuana is now legal that the taxes and the competition has made marijuana increase in price and the synthetic drugs have suddenly become an issue in colorado because it's cheaper, and you can get a packet for anywhere between $20 to $40, but the price popped this summer and it got up to $40 a packet and that's why they think you're seeing the singles. >> and they don't even know what they're taking. >> they have no idea. >> and the police don't. >> this is the latest in a series tisha and the i-team have done digging into the world of synthetic sales. you can see what they found when they went to the dea's drug lab by tapping on investigations on the nbc washington app. >> doug is here with a look at our weather forecast. you can't ask for a nicer holiday monday than this. >> no, you cannot.

interception doomed cousins and this returned for the game-winning touchdown in o.t. and despite the pick and despite the loss and jay gruden still happy with cousins at play. >> i think he is improving and he's going to have his ups and downs and every quarterback does. it's a matter of keeping your team in the game and making good decisions and giving your team a chance to win at the end. he did it again and we had to slip and fall and pick six, but overall i think he's showing enough to where we can work with h him. people around him are getting better and the running game will continue to get better and we can be a very good, solid offense at the helm. >> the redskins will turn their attention to the new york jets and they're in new york this weekend and three teams at the nfc east division and the giants on top at three and two with the win last night and let's move on to the hockey and the capitals started their season off in a huge way and the good news continuing for barry's group today. he's loving what he saw at

practice this morning and nicholas backstrom out of the practice jersey and back in his normal red. he's working his way back from off-season hip surgery and hasn't been cleared with full contact just yet and he'll meet with his surgeon and as far as his return is up to his doctors and coaches. >> we'll have a discussion here and see what decision we make and we'll go from there, and i mean, it's very important that we're all on the same page here and we don't want to rush any decision there. >> you sort of just push it a little bit more and a little bit more and you find out where your comfort zone is and he's done absolutely everything football to get back as quick as possible, so it's really important that we do the right thing and not only for this season, but for the next 10 or 12 seasons that he's playing. >> extra practice time for alex ovechkin this afternoon skating with players from the american special hockey association. it's the second straight year

and ovi helped out. they presented the check for the beard-a-thon for $30,000 and he's always looking forward to this day. >> you never get tired to help the people especially with the kids and it's a good thing. >> oh, this is big for them. i mean, they look up to a lot of the player, but to be able to come out here and skate with ovi is just amazing for them. this is the biggest day of the year for a lot of these kids. >> ovechkin and the capitals and some baseball news for you before we get out of here. the nationals made coaching changes a few days ago and randy assumes the role as senior assistant to the general manager mike rizzo and player development. >> also, vance, remember, losses are bad no matter how close you come, losses also abound. >> watching the offensive line give that boy a lot of protection yesterday.

>> watching that defense hold the points that they had. >> reason to hope. >> and you take that against lat year and
