DEA leads K2 raids at mail facilities across the U.S.

The DEA’s Payne explained that many of the chemicals used to create smokeable, synthetic cannabinoids (SSC) are bought over the Internet—and then shipped through express mail facilities from coast to coast.
Thursday represented the concluding phase of a 15-month operation, led by the DEA, called Project Synergy.

“This poison ruins and takes too many lives,” said DEA Acting Administrator, Churck Rosenberg. “Project Synergy III demonstrates our collective commitment to pursue those who produce and distribute this garbage to our children, and I am grateful for the partnership of HSI and CBP on this operation.”
