FDA raids Sacred Journey store over K2 in Lawrence
The Lawrence Sacred Journey, at 1103 Massachusetts Street, was shut down Thursday as federal agents from the FDA, along with Johnson County Sheriff and Lawrence Police, conducted a raid. An FDA spokesman declined to discuss reasons. Employees and customers described a federal search warrant and interviews about K2 and related items. Local lawmakers have advanced a bill to ban K2 sales, likely reaching Gov. Parkinson for signature.
