“NBOMe is a psychedelic drug that can be similar in appearance to LSD and can take many forms, including pills, powder, liquid drops, and colorful paper blotter tabs,” Ortiz said in a statement. “NBOMe is a synthetic hallucinogen that is growing in popularity among young people who are unaware of its potentially lethal effects, even in small doses. Across the country, numerous deaths have been linked to NBOMe.”
