Police and school officials in Eau Claire are warning parents about a new designer drug found at a local high school that causes hallucinations similar to LSD.
The official name of the drug is 25-D NBOMe, but it’s more commonly called “N-Bomb.” It’s a synthetic version of acid that according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has been linked to 19 deaths in the U.S. since 2012.
Kyle Roder of the Eau Claire Police Department said it’s a drug parents need to know about.

“Anytime we have a drug that is new, that is unknown, there are more issues than anybody knows about,” said Roder. “So, that’s a big concern for us as a police department and it should be a big concern for any community, just to make sure that we don’t have people that are experimenting with these unknowns.”
A 17-year-old student has been charged with a felony for possessing the drug with intent to deliver.
