Kava, Kratom, Dylan and Danger?

Illegal snipe signs from not too long ago

Back in August 2013, Dylan Harrison along with his partner John Shealey, were sentenced to federal prison.  Shealey got 18 months and Harrison got one year and a day. What had they done?  Both were manufacturing synthetic drugs in their warehouse, Kratom Labs, that were illegal and were charged with  unlawful distribution of controlled substance analogues (synthetic cannabinoids). Kratom Labs was located in West Palm Beach.  The warehouse eventually blew up while they were making the drugs in cement mixers.

Dylan Harrison admitted to being an addict and he said, "Being a drug addict, I know the pain drugs cause," but he went ahead and made millions of K2 or Spice and synthetic marijuana that was even being sold to children.  When they were sentenced, they had to turn over $2 million in assets.

Yesterday the Post featured an article and it asked the question, "Did Kratom addiction kill this young man?"  It was about a young guy who committed suicide and his mother believes it was from Kratom. The county is now looking into banning kratom which is a psychoactive herb with opium effects and said to be addictive and widely available in the U.S. You can buy it at gas stations or trendy kava bars.

Harrison is now out and was just seen on Lake Avenue. Mr. Harrison has two businesses in Lake Worth--The Kavasutra where he sells?  and Greenline where he sells electronic cigarettes. Jeff Clemens' office is situated between Harrison's two businesses.

As one person said to me, "Dylan Harrison is out of prison--seen downtown on Friday--this is more of a danger to our community than a tax increase."
