71 - Paper Dope

A Florida attorney. A jailhouse drug ring. And a synthetic street drug disguised as legal mail. Welcome to Paper Dope.Dana Anderson is joined by defense attorney Alex King to unpack the case of Jacksonville lawyer Nathan Williams—arrested in January 2025 for allegedly smuggling drug-laced documents into the Duval County Jail. Authorities say Williams conspired with inmates and their families to sneak in synthetic marijuana, known as K2 or Spice, in exchange for money. His arrest was part of "Operation Stamp Collection," a crackdown that significantly reduced inmate overdoses.Linked to erratic behavior, overdoses, and sudden death, “paper dope” is volatile by design—each hit a chemical wildcard. What exactly is it? How is it made? And what happens when the defense becomes the defendant?Alex King breaks down the drug, the charges, and the ethical fallout—plus a look at Dr. John W. Huffman, the scientist whose research compound JWH-018 was hijacked for street use. Think Walter White—but legal mail edition.📌 Connect with Alex King: https://www.jaxcriminal.com/about-us/alex-king🧠 Need a Killer Psychologist? http://www.psychologydr.comChapters00:00 Introduction to the Case02:00 Understanding the Smuggling Mechanism05:57 Security Concerns in Jails07:01 The Role of Attorneys in Drug Smuggling11:53 Financial Pressures and Ethical Dilemmas12:18 White Collar Crime Dynamics16:12 Chemical Composition of Synthetic Drugs19:32 Impact of Drug Smuggling on Jail Protocols21:31 Understanding K2 and Spice24:02 The Dangers of Misinformation27:30 Educating the Youth on Drug Risks30:20 The Dangers of Synthetic Drugs33:45 Conclusion and Final Thoughts  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/killer-psychologist--6020549/support.
