Nearly 120 People in Texas OD on synthetic pot OCD_OCD: "DALLAS — In a span of just five days, almost 120 people in Dallas and Austin overdosed on K2, a synthetic drug that mimics marijuana. Police sources confirmed to News 8 that the overdoses in both cities are likely related, and the drug originated with a Dallas supplier. Stacey Davis, director of prevention programs for the Council on Alcohol & Drug Abuse in Dallas, said while K2 use is not the rise, users jump on new trends for suppliers or new batches. “What ends up happening is the media or the community doesn’t catch wind of it until, unfortunately, when something bad happens,” Davis said. Users smoke K2, and while it's supposed to mimic marijuana, it can have wide-ranging effects on the body. The patients in Dallas were so sick they had to be sedated. Toxicology tests will tell for sure if all the overdoses came from the same batch. Police are also investigating whether the K2 was laced with another drug. K2 is difficult to regulate because manufacturers switch up the ingredients frequently. “The compound is changed,” Davis said. “And it’s not illegal, because they have not banned that compilation of the drug.” These changes not only make K2 easier to get, but often make it more addictive and deadly, in some cases."  cheflaq: What the hell is wrong with people these days... Synthetic ???? I sure am glad I was born when I was and we had REAL Marijuana...Ahhhhhh, the good old days... They outlawed it here in our state no matter the Chem compound but, as I read in the paper today, a "Ring" was discovered shipping it out to other states... ALL of the names printed were, lets just say, " quickie mart " related... SMH...  duncan124: I did n't realise so many people would care about whose shirts I wear.... There are problems with your Republican story. " said while K2 use is not the rise, users jump on new trends for suppliers or new batches." What does that mean? You are taking the rise OCD?? " so sick they had to be sedated. " You don't sedate people who are sick, that would make them suffocate. Looks like we are back to water boarding. Cannabis does not kill people so it is another drug which someone is poisoning people with and nothing to do with the victims. So it looks more like a Vigilante Angel of death just as everything the US does. Seems the former USA is having problems and its losers are having a tantrum! OCD_OCD: What the hell are you talking about, Duncan? There is no "Republican" story. It's a news story about synthetic pot killing people. They didn't "water board" anyone. They sedated them because the fake pot was making them crazy. What have YOU been smoking lately? duncan124: Oh its ' fake pot ' now is it??? So it would not have been the pot that made them ill or even a supplier but a fake with intent or hate. OCD_OCD: No, Duncan. There are no "fake" people. What is "fake" is the synthetic version of pot. It is making people very ill. Get it now? duncan124: "There are no "fake" people." Geee OCD! Are you saying the synthetic pot grew by its self?  calybonos:  Oh, stewardess! I speak Duncan jive. Maybe that might help.'S'mofo K2 layin' dem to da' BONE! Jackin' dem up... tight me!  harlett anathema: when i hear the word synthetic used for anything what so ever... i think...of...bathtub made..made out of who knows what chemicals.... that are laced over something that burn grind into a fine powder ta sniff......there are so many smoke-able flowers weeds nuts and seeds..that create sweet and pleasant dreams.. rippling wave sensations all day & night..if  ...someones teenagers need a how ta get hi class...or 2 (Edited by harlett anathema) duncan124: I am reminded of the Egon Ronay food testers poisoning. It was the first time the attackers were shown to have used psychological profiling to find their victims who were all from the famous publication. Wiki has some interesting links;- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1971_Iraq_poison_grain_disaster en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamfara_State_lead_poisoning_epidemic OCD_OCD: Duncan...there is no conspiracy here...The government is not making synthetic pot.  Take your meds and replace your tinfoil hat. duncan124: Where in my post does it say anything about the Government? Your second psychological slip OCD! | Off Topic Chat Room
