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.
