The street name is Spice, and it looks and even smells like marijuana.

In fact, Augusta County Investigator Brian Jenkins says it can give you the same high.

Spice is sold as incense. Jenkins says it's available at many convenience stores, and it's perfectly legal if you're over 18 years old.

He says, "As people look to new things to get them high, they look for new products and things to do it. Occasionally these things come up. The packaging reads, 'For aroma therapy only, not to be consumed by humans.' But that is what is happening."

Diane Kellog at the Office on Youth says local kids are already hearing about Spice on the streets.

She says, "We try to be aware of what the latest trends are. We look to law enforcement and other agencies to assist."

Kellog hopes their outreach can keep the product from getting into the hands of young people.

"If we are not sure what they are doing, we don't know how to prevent it or intervene with it," adds Kellog.

Aside from area children, Jenkins says the drug can pose a serious threat to adults.

He says, "Anything that can make you high or alter your consciousness can be dangerous."

While less common, investigators also say there are particular bath salts sold in some stores that can produce effects similar to cocaine.
