Drug Agents Worried About a New Synthetic Drug

It is called “Pink”. It is a synthetic drug that is making its way to Oklahoma. It is a powerful drug, some say stronger than Morphine. Right now, the formula for it is illegal. But, State Narcotics Bureau Agent Mark Woodward hopes that status changes soon.

Mark Woodward: "We go back each February, with our partners at the OSBI Crime Lab to identify anything that has come up in the off session. This will be among those drugs submitted to the legislature."

Woodward worries its use will rapidly spread, much like synthetic marijuana did a decade ago before it was made illegal.
