CORPUS CHRISTI - Another product that simulates the effects of illegal drugs is gaining popularity at some local smoke shops. the tablets are sold at the shops as herbal plant food but some buyers are consuming them to get the same effects as taking ecstasy.
after the sudden rush of popularity for "smoke-able incense" like spice and k-2, it seems that there's another option for those looking to get a legal buzz.
the kids seen in this YouTube video are high, but they aren't breaking the law. Before the cameras got rolling, they took one or two tablets of a herbal ecstasy called X-4.
There are many versions of the tablets, some called Doves, others Diablo. But all of them seem to have the same draw for customers.
"It's a different way for people to experience euphoria that's known by other illicit substances which in my book is just as dangerous as anything else," said Janousek.
At the Palmer Drug Abuse Program, rehab counselor Frank Janousek has seen his fair share of drug-related problems.
"Marijuana, alcohol, heroin, methamphetamine, ecstasy."
He tells us the growing popularity of such products opens opportunity for testing out other illegal drugs.
"One thing's going to lead to another. That experimentation thing that's how kids get started," Frank said.
