In what onlookers compared to a scene from a zombie movie, a mass K2 overdose occurred on Tuesday in Brooklyn, New York.

Around 9:30 a.m. some 33 users had an near synchronized reaction to the drug in the public areas around Broadway and Myrtle Avenue, with some buckled to the sidewalk and others urinating and vomiting, according to DNA Info.

“It was a scene out of ‘The Walking Dead.’ People were stumbling all over the place,”neighbor Brian Arthur, 38 told DNA Info. “There was a couple of them trying to pick themselves up. One guy couldn’t move at all. They had to pick him up by his pants to put him in the ambulance.”

Emergency medical crews came to the scene and many of the 33 people treated were hospitalized and listed in serious condition afterwards.

Why do they have "marijuana" in the headline?

There's no marijuana in this stuff...

I bet mommy and daddy are proud. That 50K a year to NYU/Columbia/Juilliard is well spent dough.

Yeah, false headline, there was no marijuana involved, it was a synthethic “designer drug”.

Why?

Because the msm story agenda is to always go negative on marijuana.

The msm narrative on marijuana is exactly the same as the ar15 assault rifle narrative anytime a gun crime is reported. Doesnt matter if it really was used or not, just say it was.

I am not for smoking it, but there are multiple non hallucinogenic oils in marijuana and hemp that are extremely useful for healing and pain relief among other things, in people and animals via the endocannabid system that exists in all mammals.

Because they wanted this to sound harmless. Just a little recreational grass is all.

I have a high school buddy of mine who works in a “smoke” shop, and who has never had any qualms about putting any form of toxins in his body.

He tried it just to see “what all the fuss was about” and said this stuff is a 30 hour nightmare. He begged the store owner to take it off the shelves, which they did.

It scared the crap out of him. I’m not sure if he meant literally, but from the sounds of it...

That description really doesn’t sound like a drug overdose. I find it hard to believe 33 people, all at the same intersection, decided to take the same drug all at the same time. Sounds more like a chemical weapon attack.

WTH was this a 30 plus group of party dopers ingesting drugs at the same time? Missing some facts on why so many affected at the same time.

K2 is plant material sprayed with chemicals, it's like huffing paint and they sell it in the stores in brooklyn right where this is happening. Potpourri.

FWIW in the article:

“K2, a drug referred to as synthetic marijuana, is made by spraying chemicals on dried leaves and is meant to mimic the effects of pot. “
