MADISONVILLE, Ky. (WFIE) - Two people from Madisonville are under arrest after police say they found 150 pounds of synthetic marijuana and edibles at the U.S. Post Office on Thursday.
The Madisonville-Hopkins County Narcotics Unit says the packages were to be delivered to 28-year-old Jared Graziano and 51-year-old Debra Soper on Country Club Lane. A search of two additional residences uncovered more drugs and cash. Jared Graziano. (Source: Hopkins County Jail.)
The state Department of Corrections has changed its mail-handling policies after two correctional officers at State Correctional Institution at Dallas were sickened and hospitalized from tainted mail, officials said.
Mail containing K-2, also known as spice, was recently sent to the Jackson Twp. prison, exposing the officers to the synthetic marijuana, the department said in a news release.
The mail was designed to appear as if it was coming from the court system, which did not require a pre-approved control number as did mail from others, such as attorneys, the department said.
As a result of the SCI-Dallas incident, mail coming from the courts will now also require a special, pre-approved control number assigned by the department.

Understand recent ‘designer drugs’ and chemically modified narcotics.
Drug overdoses are routinely seen in trauma bays and emergency departments worldwide. The increasingly complex methods employed to develop and consume drugs make detection of side effects and potential interactions with other drugs difficult. Common substances of abuse are now being ingested in alternative, more hazardous ways, while designer drugs are being chemically modified to enhance their euphoric effects. These various modifications have rendered modern drug screening tests almost obsolete, placing medical professionals in a formidable position.
