First off, this has absolutely nothing to do with gastric bypass or weight loss surgery.

I read through my morning newsletters and came across this article. Apparently there is a new synthetic cannabinoid that is 85 times more powerful than THC, the main mind-altering ingredient found in marijuana. It puts people in a "zombie-like" state: staring blankly, moving and responding to medics slowly, and occasionally groaning. I think this synthetic cannabinoid has the nickname Spice, which is probably after the book/movie called Dune.

There are many addictions in the world. Some are addicted to overeating while others are addicted to becoming zombies.

It's a little comical how the article stated the people as victims. Unless they were forced to smoke it, I don't believe they should be called victims. Victims are domestic abused, child abused, etc.

Other than that, any addiction can kill. But the synthetic one is just ghastly. We've got a problem here in my city with it too, especially teens. We always hear of someone dying from it.

Well as long as they don't start eating people's brains and spreading a virus, I guess it's okay how long does the symptoms last?

This is old news. People were using spice on the west coast 10 years ago when I was in high school.

It's bad stuff and can kill you. I never touched that stuff. I've been using marijuana since I was 16 though and have never had any issues with it.
