The problem of synthetic drugs is growing, especially among the younger generation.

Names such as "kush", "K-2", and even incense are common for teens to know of growing up because of their growing popularity. It's actually against the law to use, possess or sell these drugs. But, there are new ways distributors are getting around these laws.

Jose Garza from the Rio Grande Valley Council joined Action 4 Sunrise to break it down for you.
