Connor Eckhardt was a 19-year-old boy from Southern California, who loved surfing, music and his family. He died in July, after smoking Spice, a legally available synthetic substance meant to mimic the high of marijuana. Connor's parents have created a public Facebook page to honour him and to warn others about the dangers of the stimulant. His parents, Devin and Veronica Eckhardt, explain why they wanted to tell the world about the dangers of legal highs.
