Axis 1 warns council about candy‑like drug products sold in vape stores and gas stations; community training set for March 19
Summary
Axis 1 Director Pam Rush told Barnwell City Council that drug products resembling candy are circulating in local gas stations and vape stores; Jermaine Galloway will offer community training on March 19 at 8:30 a.m. to educate residents on these items.
Pam Rush, director of Axis 1, briefed Barnwell City Council on Jan. 5 about drug products appearing in the community that she says are being sold in vape stores and local gas stations.
Rush told council the products sometimes are packaged to resemble candy, increasing the risk they could be mistaken for harmless items. She said the organization will host a training session led by Jermaine Galloway at 8:30 a.m. on March 19 to help residents and officials identify and respond to these products.
Council received the update as part of departmental and community safety reports; no formal council action was recorded on the presentation. The announcement is intended to raise awareness among parents, retailers and city staff about evolving product packaging and to promote attendance at the March training.
Contact information or registration details for the training were not specified in the minutes; residents interested in attending were advised to contact Axis 1 or city staff for follow-up.
