3 deaths may be tied to synthetic marijuana in Colorado
updated 8:39 PM EDT, Fri September 6, 2013
This pouch of dried herbal potpourri is called "synthetic marijuana" and is labeled with the warning: "not for human consumption."
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- 75 people in Colorado may have become sickened after smoking synthetic marijuana
- Health officials are looking into whether these are linked to one product or several
- Fake pot is a blend of plant and herbal materials that have been sprayed with chemicals
(CNN) -- Three people in Colorado may have died after smoking synthetic marijuana, state health officials fear. The Colorado Department of Public Health has launched an investigation into an outbreak of illnesses at hospitals that may be tied to the dangerous substance.
"Initial reports show approximately 75 people who reported smoking a form of synthetic marijuana may have been seen at hospitals in the Denver metro area and Colorado Springs beginning in late August," said Dr. Tista Ghosh, interim chief medical officer for the state, in a written statement. "Several individuals were in intensive care and three deaths are being investigated as possibly associated."
The Colorado Department of Health, with help from local health officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will attempt to figure out if the synthetic marijuana is to blame, and if so, whether all the patients were sickened by the same product or different ones.
But "don't wait for the results of this investigation," Ghosh urged. "If you have synthetic marijuana, stop using it and destroy it."
Known as K2, Spice, Black Mamba, Mr. Smiley and Blaze, among other things, synthetic marijuana can have more serious consequences than regular marijuana, which is legal in Colorado. These synthetic cannabinoids are a blend of plant and herbal materials that have been sprayed with chemicals, producing an extra toxicity, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Sold most often on the Internet, synthetic marijuana produces euphoric and psychoactive effects similar to those associated with marijuana. But doctors say there are additional side effects that may be particularly dangerous. The drug can leave patients catatonic and listless. And what makes matters worse, very little is known about synthetic marijuana or how to treat an adverse reaction or overdose.
According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, the number of calls to poison centers related to synthetic drugs soared from about 3,200 in 2010 to more than 13,000 in 2011.
"Easy access and the misperception that Spice products are 'natural' and therefore harmless have likely contributed to their popularity," the NIDA website states. "Another selling point is that the chemicals used in Spice are not easily detected in standard drug tests."
Because the chemicals used in these products have a high potential for abuse and no medical benefit, the DEA has designated five of the most common active chemicals frequently found in synthetic marijuana as Schedule I controlled substances, making it illegal to sell, buy, or possess them. But manufacturers seem to be changing the chemical compounds as fast as lawmakers enact legislation to ban them.
The CDC was sending a team of four to assist the investigation.

Perhaps we should take pause as a bigger fish is coming up the ladder. Albert has screwed over so many contractors, customers but his worst mistake was f__king me over, lets Delta Pacific Bank 1985, that contractor found floating in the delta in the early 80s who ripped out the foundations, or perhaps me your database programmer when Tanabe, Wielsch, Butler and others all managed to push me to the edge gave the database to the FBI. That includes the bonding agency who seems to have most of the probate bonding business locked down.
I suppose that's why the former Head of the Walnut Creek Bomb Squad back in 2011 was so interested in my PGE database on the San Bruno Fire, or that Walnut Creek PD officer Burns was dying to know what I told the FBI. The genie has been out of the bottle for years as unknown to me my divorce Attorney Dax Craven was passing my confidential documents to his father in-law James Greenan who knows Supervisor Anderson. Just in case you didn't know it Greenans firm defended Seeno for 30 years.
SEENO and ALAMO 1st Mormons
What you will begin to notice is there are no more Murder Suicides connected to Divorce - these disastrous Contra Costa County Divorces. Gulob can longer pull in divorce cases into his court, the family Destruction center is now peaceful down to just 6 armed deputies protecting the peace instead ten. The screwing and flogging your assets but now the Probate Court is next as it the Contra Costa Bar Association as you have to realize it's a club at the Bar, Churches and Courts.
On November 1st 2011 I gave Chief Bryden documents linking CNET officers to WCPD, he said he was the FBI contact for CNET - he was not, he was lying and two weeks after our July 6th 2011 conversation my car was totaled by a retired SFPD Lieutenant who once showed me pictures of the Piedmont Fire when only 20 people were standing there. Trust me First Alarm images are real hard to get.
The arsonist is still living among us, the killed of Vitale likely fell to his death as after all he was one of the few links connecting Butler to other crimes.
I know, met, talked or worked with every person in the list. The elected officials are one degree of separation between me and this story. If I were an elected official in any city I'd head my warnings while this story unfold. Watch your six as someone is taking out witnesses and public officials as Gary Bell, Mike Shimansky, Bill Pollecek, Federal Glover, myself plus my former co-worker cannot all have come down with near fatal or fatal bacterial infections. The one other survivor I know of has vanished. He was poisoned when he was arrested by Wielsch in 2006 and spent three days in the jail infirmary vomiting his guts up like I spent back in 2005.
NO ONE BELIEVED BUT fatal Spinal Meningitis is 3 per 100,000. I know of seven but if you add in Docs. Pharmacy it would 4 more fatal plus 16 near fatal. There isn't a statistic like that anywhere in the world nor do you we have anything like Piedmont or San Bruno Fire which based on what I've gathered is a domestic terrorism for economic gain. PG&E is clueless about how this may have occurred but if they want my theory they can pay me the money their vendor owes.
Former Danville police officer found guilty

Former Danville police officer found guilty in "Dirty DUI" scandal
SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal jury Tuesday convicted a former Danville police officer of six felonies for his role in the so-called "Dirty DUI" scheme to set up men for drunken-driving arrests that could be used against them in family court.
Stephen Tanabe, 50, of Alamo, appeared crestfallen as the a court clerk read his guilty verdicts for conspiracy, and multiple counts of wire fraud and extortion.
The jury acquitted Tanabe of one extortion count that was tied to an allegation that he was paid in cocaine for arresting an Oakland software salesman in late 2010, but it convicted him of a wire fraud count related to text messages that prosecutors said pertained to the cocaine exchange.

"To go from an honest and respected police officer to a convicted felon, it's devastating," Pori said. "This is devastating for Mr. Tanabe and his family."
Federal prosecutors presented evidence at the two-week trial that Butler, Tanabe's friend since they were both Antioch cops in the mid-1990s, gave Tanabe 3.5 grams of cocaine and a Glock pistol for facilitating three drunken-driving arrests in late 2010 and early 2011.
Butler said he attempted the scam about a dozen times: His employees, often attractive women, would entice the estranged spouses of his clients to get drunk at local bars, and then Butler would tip off a police officer in hopes the target would get a DUI that could be used against him in divorce and child-custody proceedings.
Tanabe was the only officer that Butler paid in connection with the scheme, Butler claimed on the witness stand.
Authorities started investigating the stings after Butler and Contra Costa Narcotics Enforcement Team Commander Norman Wielsch were caught selling stolen drug evidence in February 2011. They are serving eight and 14 years, respectively, for the drug sales, robbing prostitutes, making false arrests and other crimes.
Butler could have time shaved off the sentence for his testimony against Tanabe, which Pori argued motivated Butler to take down his old friend.
Although many people took part in the setups, Tanabe was the only one slapped with criminal charges. The end of his trial will trigger movement in about a half-dozen civil cases that have been filed in state and federal court by the "Dirty DUI" targets, all of whom have had their charges or convictions related to their tainted arrests dismissed.
Tanabe will be taken into federal custody at his Dec. 11 sentencing. Pori said Tanabe will likely be sentenced to between three and five years in federal prison. The government said each count calls for up to 20 years in prison.
Pori said he is planning appeals based on several issues, including whether the U.S. Attorney's Office aptly applied the law in charging Tanabe.

Concord PI testifies to paying Danville officer with cocaine in 'dirty DUI' scam

Updated: 08/26/2013 06:21:01 PM PDT
SAN FRANCISCO -- An incarcerated Concord private investigator at the center of a 2011 police-corruption scandal testified Monday that former Contra Costa County Sheriff's deputy Stephen Tanabe was on patrol for the town of Danville the night he paid him in cocaine to help set up men for drunken-driving arrests.
"He was working as a deputy sheriff, and I thought he was no longer ingesting cocaine," Butler said before describing passing the drugs off to Tanabe as he sat in his Danville police patrol car parked in the Lunardi's market lot.
Using his police laptop, Tanabe pulled up the preliminary result of Bauldry's breath test a few days earlier: a 0.13 blood-alcohol level, over the legal limit, Butler said.
Tanabe, 50, of Alamo, is on trial in federal court on seven extortion and conspiracy charges for allegedly taking the cocaine and a Glock pistol from Butler as a bribe for

participating in three "dirty DUI" arrests in late 2010 and early 2011, including Bauldry's. It was a scam that Butler orchestrated, or at least attempted, about a dozen times starting in 2007, he said, for women who wanted the father of their children arrested for leverage in divorce and child custody proceedings.ss
"If there were no children, then I wouldn't do the DUI sting," Butler said. "I don't know (why), that was just my requirement."
Tanabe's defense is that he never took any payment for participating in the arrests, and the prosecution can't prove so based on the word of Butler, whose testimony could result in time shaved off the eight-year sentence he's serving for a host of felonies uncovered after he and Contra Costa Narcotics Enforcement Team (CNET) Commander Norman Wielsch were caught selling drugs stolen from evidence lockers in February 2011.
Butler listed his past crimes on the stand, including planting drugs on people, false arrests, robbing prostitutes, running a brothel, theft, insurance fraud and planting listening devices in people's cars.
With the DUI stings, he either lost money or broke even, having to pay out attractive female decoys and others who would use ruses appealing to ego or sex drive to get his targets drunk enough to fail a field sobriety test, Butler said.
Still, he said, the DUI stings were good advertising for his Butler & Associates company website and were among the services he was going to tout on the reality show he was developing for the Lifetime network, "PI Moms."
It was through the ultimately failed reality show, Butler said, that he acquired 10 Glock pistols from the manufacturer for promotional consideration. The $600 firearm is what Tanabe wanted in exchange for arresting Livermore winemaker Mitchell Katz and Verizon software executive Hasan Aksu during days-apart stings against those men in January 2011, Butler said. As the Glock was worth more than what Tanabe was owed for pulling over targets or tipping off other officers to the drunken driver, Butler said he planned to bring him into a fourth sting to work off the difference.
Butler said he met Tanabe when they both served on the Antioch police force in 1995, and after they both left, Tanabe would do private security jobs for Butler's investigative firm while trying his hand at real estate, before joining the Sheriff's Office in 2006.
In 2001, Butler said he used two of Tanabe's personal cocaine dealers to hook up drugs for a client. Both times, he passed on the dealers' information to Wielsch, who then busted them for drug sales. Wielsch, the former CNET commander, is serving a 14-year prison sentence.
Tanabe owed a third drug dealer too much money to make his own buy in 2003, so he had Butler buy a large amount for him, Butler said. Tanabe had him dole out the sum of the buy into more than 20 packages that Butler would give him when he wanted, in an attempt to wean himself off cocaine, Butler said.
The trial continues Tuesday with cross-examination testimony from Butler. The prosecution said it expects to rest its case in the afternoon.
