Police Work To Stop Overdoses After 76 People Fall Ill To Synthetic Marijuana

Police swarmed a Connecticut park near Yale University and searched people’s homes for drugs Thursday in an effort to prevent more overdoses from a batch of synthetic marijuana blamed for sending more than 70 people to the hospital.
quote:
Social workers and mental health professionals also responded to the New Haven Green, where most of the overdoses happened Wednesday. Authorities described a chaotic scene where people were dropping to the ground unconscious, others vomiting and some becoming lethargic.
quote:
Officials said 76 people overdosed Wednesday and 17 more fell ill Thursday. Officials weren’t certain whether Thursday’s overdoses involved the same batch of “K2” synthetic marijuana. No deaths were reported, and most of those brought to local hospitals have been discharged. Synthetic marijuana, called “spice” and other names, usually is plant material sprayed with chemicals or other substances that is sold in small, colorful packets. It has been blamed for other mass overdoses across the country. In May, more than 50 people in Brooklyn, New York, overdosed on K2, none fatally.

For some reason, when I was starting this thread, it felt like I was doing something wrong.. As if this was probably posted already, but I checked and didn't see it.

Seems like the cops should just let this play out. Gets bad synth MJ off the streets and probably gets some morons off the street who may or may not really be contributing positively to society.

I have no idea why they call it synthetic marijuana... it has nothing to do with MJ, just gives it a bad name, it's just some chemicals and shite

The one time I ever bought any 'spice', probably 7 or 8 years ago, it turned out that it wasn't a synthetic cannabinoid sprayed on to the plant matter - it was 5-MeO-DMT. Talk about a wild fricking ride.

Why can't these lazy frickers go out and find a real weed dealer like the rest of us?

Here we go again. Marijuana is just not safe like most people here want you to believe. I’m sure they’ll blame other factors like always but the common denominator in all these stories is marijuana.

I guess you missed the synthetic part

So let’s have the synthetic shite legal that causes people to eat other peoples faces off (Florida) but make the real thing illegal that does no harm. Hmm
As stated before.

Pretty sure it's not. Under the CSA, analogues are banned as well. Seedy arse head shops just DGAF.

I remember this story. The number was in the 40s a few days back. What this means is that roughly 50% more of these morons overdosed knowing the shite was bad a day or more later.

For future reference, I don't care about anything you say to me.. So don't waste your time.

An EMT interview on the radio today said they were releasing these idiots after treatment and they went right back to smoking it requiring additional treatment.

Another instance of the government putting people's health at risk because the government tells you that you can't consume REAL marijuana.
People will get high and drunk. It's a fact of life.
If marijuana were legal I'd probably cut my drinking by half. Similar for everyone else.
