State police say an adult store was selling synthetic marijuana, but the store owner claims the items were not illegal. Monday night, police seized a large amount of what they call synthetic marijuana from the Dream World Adult Store on 25E in Knox County. Store owners and customers say it was only potpourri. "I've always put it in dishes at the house to make the house smell good. Never known it to be bad or any chemical in it.
With my children at home, I have grandchildren at home, I still use it," said James Foreman. State police say they received numerous complaints the store was selling synthetic marijuana. Detectives say an undercover witness purchased the substance on Monday, which then led to the search warrant and raid at the store. Police say they also seized cash and alleged drug paraphernalia. The store owners and employees would not talk on camera at the request of their attorney. Off camera, they told WYMT they believe it was not synthetic marijuana.
They think the items were legal substances and do not believe they were possibly breaking the law. "It's a reputable business. They're not trying to break laws here. There's nothing illegal, no contraband here," Foreman said. "We won't know until it's tested at a lab to make sure it's synthetic marijuana; however, we feel that it is," said Trooper Shane Jacobs. No one was arrested. Police are waiting for the lab results on the items and then plan to take the case to a Knox County Grand Jury. The Dream World Adult Store is still open.
