Researchers want to know whether medical marijuana is effective in controlling seizures in kids.

Two employees at the Denver Police Department's crime lab are recovering after they were exposed to synthetic cannabinoid powder.

Department spokesman Matt Murray told KMGH-TV that the employees, whose names have not been released, were working with the synthetic marijuana Monday morning when the package burst and both of them inhaled it.
