News » Comedian Smoked K2 Before Crashing Into Pedestrians





Police say that Travis Lipski was under the influence of K2, a variety of synthetic marijuana, before he crashed his Subaru into pedestrians and other vehicles. Witnesses reporting seeing Lipski slumped over the steering wheel just before the crash occurred near the Pike Place Market in Seattle.

Lipski is being held on charges of vehicular assault with bail set at $75,000. Drug and alcohol tests are pending but he reported only smoking K2, available online and at many smoke shops. Driving while intoxicated however, even under the influence of legal drugs, is illegal.

The DEA has moved recently to make synthetic marijuana illegal but many variants remain legal. Some states have already moved to ban them however, with emergency room visits on the rise and some reported deaths. Concern over the health impacts continue to grow.
