Federal prosecutors have charged three men with the illegal sale of a synthetic marijuana product that has been linked to at least two deaths and 56 illnesses in Illinois, The Associated Press reported Wednesday. Fouad Masoud, 48 and Jad Allah, 44, from Justice, Illinois, a village near Chicago and Adil Khan Mohammed, 44 of Chicago were charged with selling synthetic cannabinoids – often called K2, Spice or fake weed. Federal officers made undercover purchases of the illegal substances, marketed as “Matrix,” “Blue Giant” and “Crazy Monkey,” the AP reported.
