Suburban mom takes down drug ring she says killed her son

[blue-wave]

A suburban mom has taken down a drug ring she says killed her son, CBS Chicago reports. "I always felt like he was by my side helping me," said Karen Dobner of her 19-year-old son, Max Dobner.

In 2011, he suffered hallucinations and a panic attack after taking a form of synthetic marijuana sold as "potpourri" and drove 100 mph into a house, accidentally killing himself.

Karen Dobner partly blames Ruby Moshin, who sold Max and his friend a product called iAroma — a type of synthetic marijuana made of mushroom leaves sprayed with chemicals. The teens bought it in 2011 at a store Moshin owned at a mall in Aurora, a Chicago suburb.

My heart goes out to this mom. She is one brave, strong and determined women.

1. This was located in a huge mall out in the Fox Valley area -far west of Chicago

...distribute substances containing controlled substance analogues at the Cigar Box, a store formerly located in the Fox Valley Mall in Aurora,......
So shop Macys, JCPenny,Gap, then pick this drug up on the way out? I cant believe it was at a big commercial mall like this.

Not that operating out of a small no name strip mall is any better, but still, out in the open selling by grams with that volume of shoppers

2. Sad about the kid dying, but I'm curious...

...what are "mushroom leaves"?

And if cannabis were legal everywhere, there would be no market for "potpourri" or "spice" or whatever else they call the shit.
