Over 100 Overdose On Synthetic Marijuana

Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

Dallas police say almost 120 people in the last five days have overdosed on the synthetic marijuana K2.

Police sources say that the drug likely originated from a Dallas supplier.

The director of prevention programs for the Council on Alcohol & Drug Abuse in Dallas said that while K2 use on the whole is not rising, addicts are always looking for new suppliers who might carry tainted forms of the drug.

K2, which is supposed to mimic the effects of natural marijuana, can have multiple toxic impacts on the body.  The recent overdose victims in Dallas suffered comas and some had to be sedated because of uncontrolled tremors and seizures.

Police say the drug is difficult to regulate because the makers keep changing the ingredients, which technically make it a new drug.  Lawmakers would have to pass laws to make every single version of the drug illegal before police can take action to stop the drug’s use.
