Description

In July 2024, Portland police and federal agents seized cocaine, psilocybin mushrooms, ecstasy, LSD, ketamine, suspected Xanax and Adderall pills from Toren Flom's home in Oregon City, according to court records.

A Portland man died of a drug cocktail that included a new highly potent opioid in a rare case in Oregon, though the synthetic narcotic has been linked to rising overdose deaths in regions around the world.
