Attorney General Marty Jackley is warning college campuses and students about a new synthetic drug surfacing in South Dakota.  It’s known as 25i.  Law Enforcement has been aware of the drug but Jackley confirms it is now it South Dakota.

Jackley:  (:20) – It has properties of LSD, it creates huge hulicinations, it is extremely addictive.  So it creates considerable public health and safety concerns and we just want the community to be aware of that and if they do see this type of drug and certainly with kids get rid of the drugs, they’re very dangerous.

Jackley says it comes in many forms including powder or liquid.  He says it can easily be mixed with food or beverages.  Jackley says reaction to the drug is unpredictable and can make people dangerous.
