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.

With actual marijuana so easy to obtain in this country, why would anyone take the [additional] risks associated with using “synthetic pot”?
Yes, it is lethal. Brodifacuom was developed for use against Warfarin-resistant rats.
These idiots are probably bleeding from every single orifice in their bodies.
Yes. If they made it illegal no one would dare use it any more...
;-)
I will assume you are engaging in sarcasm, since the total population of Colorado does not even begin to approach 93 million people...
No sympathy for druggies.
You can buy synthetic pot in local Chicago convenience stores?
Hey, picks me up a Glock 40, dont forget my pack of smokes, a dime of “K” and a Yoo-hoo.
Do they mean the same as Warfarin (common Blood Thinner) aka Rat Poison ?
Dont ever let your doctor prescribe Ultram or Tramadol to you. Its synthetic morphine chemically bonded with an anti depressant drug very similar to Effexor.
Very bad 5 years for me back before the Docs finally admitted that it could, maybe, possibly, occasionally be slightly addictive to some people.
Russian Roulette is exactly right!
Coumadin is one brand name for Warfarin. Anti-coagulant, rat poison, whatever. In this case, it was Brodifacoum, sometimes called “super Warfarin”. There are several derivatives of the naturally occurring Coumarin.

.......most of this ‘poison’ comes in from China...I often wonder if this isn’t payback for the Opium Wars China has never forgotten and how Opium affected and weakened their entire population.
Wondered about that myself.
You saw that John Boehner has joined the National Legal Pot Board of directors, or whatever the hell they call it?
He'll bring tons of barstool wisdom with him to the job too, if they can manage to schedule a meeting in the 15 minutes of near-clarity he manages per day.
...”why would anyone take the [additional] risks associated with using “synthetic pot”......
Does a addicts thought patterns really care when they need a fix? They’re chasing the Dragon regardless of the colors of the dragon.
Yea...Chinese never forget history....and frankly they were indeed shafted by the Opium trade.....they really got a raw deal on their population and I doubt they will ever forget it.
....... is always presented colorful and with cartoonish characters, especially to what's addictive...........even google and facebook do that.
Hmmm, devious/evil bastardo’s, I revile them, and that is not strong enough....They are probably trying to increase the “high” by making your blood thinner, perhaps they are adding a boatload of Coumadin to do so, just a theory.
Marijuana is not addictive.
Opium (and it’s derivatives) are addictive. Cocaine (and it’s derivatives) are addictive. Nicotine is addictive. Alcohol is addictive.
A heavy marijuana user could completely give up the drug at midnight tonight and would suffer no physical symptoms of withdrawal tomorrow - or ever.
I was prescribed Tramadol once following orthopedic surgery. It did absolutely nothing to mask my pain. All it did was make me nervous, irritable and unable to concentrate or sleep.
Somewhere in Hawaii there is a marijuana grower wishing he could file a lawsuit for trademark infringement...
