"Drug Probe Leads South Korea to Raid US Military Bases"
South Korean police are investigating 17 US soldiers and five other individuals for allegedly smuggling and using synthetic marijuana through military mail. The investigation was sparked by a tip from the US Army's Criminal Investigation Division, leading to raids at several US army bases. Joint raids by South Korean police and the US Army's Criminal Investigation Division found synthetic cannabis, vaping liquids, and cash at the suspects' homes. The soldiers are accused of distributing the drugs on the bases and communicating via Snapchat. Synthetic marijuana, known as K2 or Spice, is difficult to detect and can have adverse health effects.
