Synthetic marijuana leads to death of Illinois resident.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) – Synthetic cannabis has claimed a life in Illinois.
The Illinois Department of Health is reporting a death of an individual who experienced severe bleeding after claiming to have used synthetic cannabis (K2, Spice, or fake weed).
So far in Illinois, 38 people have experience severe bleeding issues after consuming synthetic cannabis. Each case so far has resulted in hospitalizations, with symptoms including coughing up blood, blood in the urine, severe bloody noses, and bleeding gums.
Three accounts of the hospitalization have tested positive for brodifacoum, an ingredient used in rat poison.
Synthetic cannabis is human-made to simulate the effects of marijuana, they are commonly sprayed on dried plants or consumed through E-cigarettes.
Illinois Department of Public Health director Nirav D. Shah, M.D., J.D. says “synthetic cannabinoids are unsafe. They can contain a variety of chemicals, and users often don’t know what those are, such as rat poison. Despite the perception that synthetic cannabinoids are a safe alternative to marijuana, they can cause very severe illness.” MORE
What is K2? Synthetic marijuana causing bleeding from eyes and ears.
[…] Many synthetic cannabinoids are illegal.
According to the CDC, the federal, state and local governments have all passed laws to target specific synthetic cannabinoids. But makers of the products will label them “not for human consumption” to get around the laws.
Is there treatment for synthetic cannabinoids side effects or withdrawal symptoms?
There’s no one antidote, but medical professionals can offer care or treatment for many of the side effects, including oxygen loss, seizures, nausea and more.
If you or anyone you know has a serious reaction to synthetic cannabinoids, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department immediately. more

The only people I ever met who used drugs were liberals and libertarians.
I’m probably the only person over 60 who hasn’t even tried Marijuana.
So I would say there will be a big media story about this cause it effects liberals and blacks.
Rayciss!
“I’m probably the only person over 60 who hasn’t even tried Marijuana.”
Really? Get in line behind me.
Sold under the street name Hillary Clinton because listening to her often has the same effect
I said that I know, so now I know 2. I lived in a strong republican county, that was also dry.
So no drinking either and it had nothing to do with religion. Many family members who were
Eagle Scouts and or policemen. My dad was the Sheriff and my brother in law was a judge.
All conservative republicans. It was pretty easy to get a carry permit. Just ask.
Megan Kelly was a heavy user. She even got herself toasted before the debate.

There’s a reason they call it, “dope.” 🙄
Just Saying,
Now you know three. I never tried it, and I was a teen in the 60’s. Don’t like alcohol, either – I’m too much of an in control person – like to always have a clear head.
