Marion police say they confiscated 50 packs of synthetic marijuana, along with numerous items used for preparation and consumption of illegal drugs and some currency, in a bust on Main Street.
Police say it is the second raid for the synthetic drug in one week.
The raid occurred Friday afternoon at Shirts & Stuff in the 400 block of Main Street in Marion. Police say they were tipped off by several residents.
The synthetic marijuana, also known as K2, is illegal in Ohio. It goes by many names.
Police say in this case, the drugs they confiscated were labeled as "Defiant Blue," "Defiant Summit," and "King Kush."
The owners of Shirts & Stuff declined to speak to NBC4, but a friend said the owners have been there for 10 years. He emphasized that the owners were told by the distributors that the form of synthetic marijuana they were selling was legal.
Jarod Christian says he's shopped at the store and was shocked to find out about the K2 bust.
"You would never think it was them," Christian said.
Marion police say drug-trafficking charges on one person are pending in connection with this case.
