darcy? wendy, we just wrapped up a prs conference here at the d.c. medical examiner's office l what we jusrned is that here at the office they did some testing of some material that was found just yesterday, and they determined that there's a brand-new synthetic drug on the street here in d.c. at this point they are trying to see if this new drug is connected to some of the overdoses we've seen here over the last several ds. now, like you said, there have been more than 100 overdoses over just the last four days just here in the distric it's bei linked to so-called bad batch of synthetic marijuana, also known as k2 or ice, but what they were telling us at this pressco nference isit that probably something else because this is a new chemical compound, again, that's not been seen here in the district. these drugs are illegal, and d.c. -- the medical examiner is saying they are also extremely

dangerous >> this isn't a like marijuana but it acts different. we call it cannabinoids now because it's something totally different. is extremely dangerous, and i think the community needs to understand that what is now out on the street we don't kno really what it is yet, we are finding now new compound that d.c. has never seen before. the message is stayway from this stuff. >> reporter: so, again, that's the message for people totay away from these synthetic drugs because you really don't know what you are getting. there have been some fatalities and they are trying to figure out if any fatalities are ict connected to any of these synthetic drugs. they say that test will go take a couple of weeks. wendy, back to you. >> dorothy, i'm just curious. is it easily marked? do you know you are getting this synthetic stuff? there's a lot of stuff, you know, being sold atores

everywhere, and i'm not talking about the legal clinics. i'm talking about stuff btng sold corner drug stores in some parts of the city. how do you know it's this substance? well, that wasn't specifically addressed at the press conference becau these are doctors, you know. the medical examiner and the fonsic doctorere talking about this, but really this is something that it sounds like it's being t sold on streets. of course, there have been cases of things being sold in the corner store, but ite sounds l this is happening at the street level, and, again, some of this material was gathered as evidence taken right here to the lab in d.c.,, test and they are getting that word out right away that if someone is trying to sell you ts materia it is a plant material that's apparently being sprayed wit the synthetic material. you need to stay away from it. you just don't know what you're getting, and it could be fatal. >> that's scary stuff. thanks, darcy.
