False Alarm Emergency Call After Teen Smokes 'Spice'

The following information was supplied by the Stow Police Department.

The Stow Fire Department received a call from a frantic teen July 13 because he said his friend was short of breath and had chest pains.  The boy hung up without giving an address, according to the report. An emergency trace resulted in finding the location where the teens were — the 2000 block of Samira Road.  While EMS went to check the area, a Stow Youth Services employee was able to get a hold of the teen on the phone again. The teen said his 14-year-old friend was "freaking out," which is why he called 9-1-1.  When EMS arrived, they said the teen was OK and there was no medical emergency. The teens were taken to their parents. Police said they determined the teen had smoked "spice" or K2 — a synthetic marijuana. The police report …

Bath Salts Could Be Banned in Stow Before State Does

City Council is entertaining legislation that would make possession of bath salts a minor misdemeanor offense.

No, the city is not looking to ban anyone from taking a relaxing lavender-scented bath in Stow. But they have trained their sights on another kind of bath salt — one that is snorted, smoked or swallowed for a high. City Council started discussing banning a synthetic drug, nicknamed bath salts, K2 or spice, which causes the user to hallucinate or become paranoid.  The drug has a completely different chemical makeup than what is used to condition bath water. Deputy Law Director John Scavelli introduced legislation during council's July 11 meeting that mirrors a law recently passed in Barberton. (A draft of the legislation is attached to this post.) The state passed legislation banning the use, sale and posession of the drug and it is now …
