Another major herbal incense raid has occurred, this time in Houston, Texas. The DEA swooped into a warehouse on Bellflower street in Houston on Thursday, May 23rd, 2013 during the morning. As the crackdown on synthetic incense picks up momentum, both at the state and federal levels, the production and sale of herbal incense is becoming incredibly risky.
Although the name of the person who owned or was renting the warehouse hasn’t been released, and the DEA has not confirmed if anyone is arrested, there were several brands possibly involved in this herbal incense raid. According to coverage by KHOU, a local news outlet,
Agents stormed a southwest Houston warehouse where about $700,000 in synthetic marijuana was found along with the equipment to manufacture it, the Drug Enforcement Administration said Thursday…The DEA said the bust was part of an on-going investigation, and there was no early word on if any arrests were made.
Although they wouldn’t confirm who, if anyone, was in trouble, the DEA was quick to brag about the asset seizures as part of the raid. “Agents said about 70,000 packets of fake pot were removed from the property. There were several different brands being marketed on the packaging, the DEA said.â€
Those packages appear to have been labeled for the brands Mega Buzz, Serenity Now, Head Trip, and Klimax. Anyone who had recently ordered any of those brands online may well find their order significantly delayed, unless it was purchased through a third party retail site.
