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.

This is old news. Bath Salts...etc. Let em kill themselves via the wonder of modern, or ancient, technology. Pot is a different animal. Don’t care if this group is for or against, just know the natural stuff works for some stuff. This manufactured crap is just like the smokes that are killing millions across the planet.

My guess is Russians. Or Macedonian hackers.

Of course, we should all wait for the wisdom that will come from David Hogg.

Just think of it as evolution in action.

IOW, “They chose... poorly.”

They should try banning pot so this sort of thing stops happening. Of course, deaths like these from tainted pot happen at the rate of millions a day in Colorado, because they foolishly made weed legal. 93 million a day, to be exact.

Millions a day in Colorado?!?! Check your math and try again. I’m hoping this is an educated group and not a conspiracy gang who gets their news from Fox...not a dis...but please look at the big picture.

Doing any street drug today is suicide. 60,000 people die annually from doing heroin or cocaine that is laced with fentanyl which comes DIRECTLY over the southern border. 60,000 dead because liberals and RINOS are more concerned with getting cheap labor, and that’s just not adults dying but children as well.

... laced with fentanyl “....

The dealers are putting this “killer drug” on everything they can. Fentanyl is easily brought into the country and can lace with just a drop or two......credit goes to China for bringing it here.

I live in New York and last month they busted a guy with 40 pounds of that stuff, enough to kill a million people. And still the RatRINO party thinks a wall is a joke.

And that’s not the only bust.........
