SAN DIEGO – Authorities said 16 people have been sickened in downtown San Diego after taking the synthetic marijuana drug spice.
Fire officials treated the patients during numerous calls on Saturday, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune.
Fire spokesman Lee Swanson said the patients, mostly in their late teens to early 20s, had symptoms ranging from nausea and fast heartbeats to breathing difficulties and even unconsciousness.
Eleven of the 16 were taken to hospitals, three in serious condition, but Swanson said none of the problems were life-threatening.
Police are trying to discover the source of the spice.
It’s the second weekend in a row that the drug has caused multiple overdoses downtown. More than a dozen people — including a 13-year-old — were treated on Nov. 22.
