As of Thursday, April 5th, 89 people have been hospitalized in the city of Chicago and surrounding neighborhoods after ingesting synthetic cannabis known as K2 or Spice, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH).

Among the patients admitted for treatment, the largest numbers came from Chicago (24) and Peoria County (24) all of which experienced severe bleeding when they were admitted. The IDPH has reported two deaths since March 30th, with the first reports of poisoning beginning on March 10th.

At least nine patients have tested positive for a substance known as brodifacoum, a chemical used in rat poison, with symptoms including nosebleeds, blood in urine, coughing up blood and bleeding gums.

Synthetic cannabis is a man-made chemical compound designed to act on the cannabinoid receptors and is sprayed onto plant material to mimic the real thing. It can be smoked or vaporized just like real cannabis but is considered to be far more dangerous due to the unpredictability of its contents.....

That stuff is bad for you. Many people have died or got so delusional, they made terrible mistakes.
Dont be a pussy, smoke the real shit

Yet one more reason for full legalization.

when all this came out 5+ years ago, it was not this bad. however, the gov kept banning substances they were using trying to ban it overall. by now it's morphed to who knows what you're smoking and what it can do to you.

Sounds like Russians.

Bad enough that real pot leads to Amtrak crashes that kill scores of people but a more intense synthetic version should be completely outlawed and punished severely.

What happened to legalize it all? This stuff is cheap, don't you want to poor to be able to get high? Legalize it, tax it, regulate it. Isn't that what you say? Let's hear it.
