'Catnip Cocktail' linked to bizarre, irrational behavior on the rise in NJ, police say
Keldy Ortiz, North Jersey Record Published 10:44 p.m. ET March 11, 2019 | Updated 6:50 a.m. ET March 12, 2019
"Catnip Cocktail" is a drug used to sedate animals that can make humans act irrationally and unable to answer simple questions, but it's not illegal.
Fairfield police encountered the product in New Jersey last week when they raided the Nutrition Zone store on Route 46. They found 61 bottles of Catnip Cocktail for sale.
John Sirico of Tafton, Pennsylvania, faces drug offenses and weapons charges, borough Police Chief Anthony Manna said in a statement. Bottles of human growth hormones, seven handguns and rifle magazines were discovered in the store.
Catnip Cocktail is a liquid drug used to sedate cats and is not intended for human consumption, borough police said. When the drug is used by humans, it’s similar to Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid (GHB,) which is known as the “date rape” drug. People who used the drug have been found incoherent by police.
"This is a very dangerous product, and it appears its improper use is on the rise," Manna said in a statement.
