Synthetic marijuana is capable of causing extreme anxiety

Submitted by Marijuana News on Fri, 01/15/2016 - 22:56

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – The Boston Globe reported this week that New England Patriots DE Chandler Jones sought police and medical help after a bad reaction to synthetic marijuana last weekend.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse said synthetic marijuana, or “K2” or “SPICE,” is known to be capable of causing extreme anxiety, altered perception, confusion, and paranoia. Synthetic marijuana is really an industrial product, a chemical sprayed on dried, shredded plant material.

Dr. Aaron Hexdall of Baystate Medical Center told 22News, “Synthetic marijuana has nothing to do with traditional cannabis. Synthetic marijuana poses significant health risks. It’s associated with seizures, agitation, altered mental status, and potentially, with death.”

Individual reactions to synthetic marijuana are unpredictable, and it should be avoided, in the interests of good health.
