3 dead, more than 100 with severe bleeding from synthetic pot: Illinois health officials

A third person who experienced severe bleeding after using synthetic marijuana has died in Illinois, health officials confirmed.

There are now 107 people in central Illinois and the Chicago area who experienced severe bleeding after using the synthetic pot, often called spice, K2 or fake weed, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health.

“Each day we’ve seen the number of cases rise,” said director of the IDPH Nirav D. Shah, M.D., J.D. "Synthetic cannabinoids are unsafe. They are not regulated and people don’t know what chemicals may be in them, like rat poison. While efforts are underway to get the contaminated drugs out of circulation, it’s possible they could re-emerge. We urge people not to use synthetic cannabinoids now or ever."

This death comes after three Chicago convenience store clerks were charged earlier this the month for allegedly selling the synthetic cannabinoids laced with the known rodent poison, according to police.

It does, but why anyone would lace synthetic pot with rat poison.....but then again we’re dealing with people who have diminished mental abilities already...
And the steady march to chemical induced euphoria/death continues...

60,000 dead because liberals and RINOS are more concerned with getting cheap labor

Who's going to vacuum their drapes, blow leaves, or clean their pool?

Sorry, I just do not feel sorry for them. Not at all, not one bit. I never understood the hardcore drug culture.

That is unexpected. Who would have guessed that illegal drugs would not be FDA approved?

Culling the herd. Cleaning the gene pool. Survival of the fittest. Self “deportation”. Let them go.

Obviously, this is the work of the nefarious Assad.

I thought it was Russians, or taxi medallions. It’s all very confusing.

“This is what happens when you make drugs LEGAL!”

You do realize that synthetic pot is illegal and even the non-synthetic stuff (which doesn’t kill people) is still considered illegal as well?

True enough. But some would argue legal drugs are different. Alcohol is simply a slower process.

Well since they aren’t legal, and this still happened, then your statement is completely irrelevant.

Do you think the magic words on paper stops criminals?

I guess if we make some more laws we can stop school shooters too?
