Fake marijuana sickens teens

[buzzmarlie]

Two high school students were hospitalized this week after smoking a mix of dried herbs that is similar to marijuana.

The teens smoked K2, a substance that is laced with chemicals and is intended to mimic the effects of marijuana.

One of the teens also admitted taking Xanax and roxycodone before falling ill. Their medical conditions were not known Thursday, but they are expected to make full recoveries.

The Sheriff’s Office issued a warning to parents about the effects of K2, which is usually sold over the Internet or at smoke shops.

The package is labeled “incense” and is marked “not for human consumption,” the Sheriff’s Office says.

Kids mix all kind of drugs but hey, blame it on the fake marijuana! marijuana is evil!

Hmm lets see though.. THe kids were fine before they smoked that fake Marijuana..

And only one of the kids took the Oxycodone yet both felt sick. So it had to of been the fake weed.
I bet they just smoked to much and felt shitty. Obviously the oxycodone didnt help the one kid.

It's got JWH-018 in it apparently. Maybe they were allergic to it or, as etard said, smoked too much and felt shite.
I've found that smoking weed whilst on Opiates reeaaaaalllly makes me nod out hard :$

I wonder if the teens really "fell ill", or if they were just too blazed to function normally.
In the latter case, all the adults around them might have decided that they were in trouble, but the teens themselves might have enjoyed it.

Its hard to comment on this without all the facts, I am guessing they smoked too much and got really paranoid and/or nauseas and never really suffered any real dangerous side effects. This is just speculation though and the article doesn't give much to go by, I figure if it was that serious there would be more details though.

admitted to taking XANAX AND OXY! the oxy and benzo combo is what made this kid nod out - the legal smoke had NOTHING to do with this... omg i cant believe all you guys aren't yelling the same thing...stoopid article stoopid waste of my time.

 

[ChemicalSmiles]

Only one admitted to taken the prescription meds but im sure both took them... and 1 was nervous to admit it... Inexperienced benzo/opiate users...
