Zombie outbreak in New York City



Recommended Posts

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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
