A bad batch of synthetic marijuana caused 33 New Yorkers to overdose simultaneously on Wednesday.
The NY Post reports 33 people had to be hospitalized after they smoked a synthetic marijuana called “K2” sold at a Brooklyn Deli.
Police are investigating the deli and another shop on Broadway, near Myrtle Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
The potheads staggered and collapsed on the sidewalk in an area of Brooklyn known as “Zombieland.”
Witnesses say it was like a scene out of ‘The Walking Dead’ as ‘zombies’ vomited on their shirts and collapsed all over.
“These guys were wandering around, stumbling all over the place, and were completely out of it,” said Brian Arthur, a resident of Brooklyn. “They didn’t know their whereabouts, and some couldn’t even get up off the floor,” he told the Post. “One guy was even trying to hold himself up with a Johnny pump [fire hydrant]. It was ridiculous.”
Arthur posted video of the zombies on Facebook.
In the video, police are seen assisting the addicts after they passed out.
K2 is a particularly potent weed that draws customers from all walks of life to the Brooklyn neighborhood. Some of the weed heads are patients at a nearby methadone clinic.
“There’s always people passed out on the streets. I saw a guy was puking on the street earlier,” said Jason Reis, a Bushwick City Farm volunteer.
“They’ll often try to congregate out front. In the last week or so, we’ve put a sign that said: ‘No smoking K2.'”
“Obviously, it was a bad batch [of K2],” a police source told the Post. “They are lucky they didn’t die.”
WTF…is synthetic marijuana…I’ve never heard of anyone overdosing on weed…
Leave the K2 to the YT folks, let them smoke that shyt. Tired of seeing black folks high of that mess. Stop patronizing Ishmael and invest in your local weed man, Dashawn.
I think it’s the splice that was made illegal in Georgia.
33 Overdose On Marijuana- HUH?
A bad batch of synthetic marijuana- Aaaah. That makes more sense.
I’m trying to tell you & I don’t buy from ppl that don’t smoke.I need for you to already have tried it out yourself!
Right I’m going to need that headline changed!!?
Well we have one things the cops are good for. Damn shame though, people looking to escape the madness of of the world. But hell if they were from a local meth clinic, anything could have been in their system before causing a crazy reaction because they can’t get a hold to oxy, E, dust, lsd,heroin, you name it. sad
Why they smoking synthetic marijuana? Why they even calling it marijuana? Marijuana is fine by itself. They need to call that mess something else.
UncleButter75, the one who calls himself Black Jesus, grows his own.
I’m sorry…but lolol
I promise you that someone gave me a pack of that shat when it first came out, and when I opened the pack, it was different colors like red, green, blue and it looked like poutpourri and for the life of me, it never entered my mind to roll it up and smoke it. I could never figure out what to do with it and I threw it away. That was nothing but God because no telling what that shat would have had me doing.
Lmao wtf u idiots doing?
chile… see gif
Right I was all confused like NO WAY!!!
That is a goal of mine to grow my own kush. I cant smoke that brown hay.
Gloray! You could’ve been in the back of Debo’s chicken coup but GAWD!!!
Why are these people using synthetic marijuana? What happened to old fashioned natural marijuana?
LOLLLLLing You cray!
Jus…why mess with how beautiful it can be… good ole regular ain’t good enough I guess…sounds like meth for pot heads…
That mess got all kinds of chemical on it.
Call that shyt chemical leaves shid ……..
Amen.
Lol, dying at chemical leaves! ???
Which is why I believe it will be medicine that create zombies in real life… lol resident evil, I am legend, quarantine… they all show how people create zombies lol
Because that synthetic stuff is cheap and they sell it at gas stations, but they aren’t supposed to. Its banned in my state.
Some people just not satisfied with the high u get from regular weed…and if smoked in moderation it’s good for stress, helps u sleep and helps with pain..if u can control the munchies u good.
With the amount of white people flooding into Bedsty now ,I’m not surprised there’s a drug problem there. All the hipster white people there taking their drugs on the low turning into Zombies and roaming the streets. Sprinkle in the scary blacks and coons Bedsty starting to look a lot like park slope. Smh.
That’s all it is. Chemical Hay.
Call it
Mess
No thanks. .I will pass on that
Your Uncle sounds like my kind of guy. How much he selling his ounces for? Asking for myself. ?
Thats what you get for wanting to be high so bad. Stop
I don’t feel sorry for these people.
I rarely take anything unless it’s an aspirin for a headache and my head has to be killing me for a day or two before I acquiesce.
??
JGMRM: Stop patronizing Ishmael and invest in your local weed man, Dashawn.
*dead*
Wiz like:
That’s why I maintain legalizing marijuana is a dirty trick by the system of racism white supremacy.
Yall won’t call this a “false flag” though
Designer drugs created in a lab by the federal government.
You need to find out if its mid or loud first….. lol
I bet Pret A Manger is pissed off about that photo. Gotta have your work shirt on when they haul your crazy a$$ to the hospital, huh? ?
I can’t hit the blunt… I tried to, my behind was paranoid like a mug…. I’m trying to understand how 1 can contain themselves on regular weed. Couldn’t imagine puffing incense! They’re cray
They’ve admitted to drugging the community before so I wouldn’t put it past them.
Offtopic…
Please support this officer, she is one of many out there doing the right thing and see what they did to her. Damn shame.

They need to start buying better weed, and stop smoking that brown shat.
Hell naw!!?anything to keep us distracted…
I saw this video last week. People were saying that she lost her job but it’s good to see that she was only suspended. She didn’t deserve that either though.
This ain’t weed ?? they been trying to crack down on this for awhile. Smoke real shit won’t have this problem ??
Well those bath salts had that homeless ninja eating the homeless pink toe
That sh!t was ?????
I have tendinitis really bad in both my wrists…weed is the only thing that helps me…I’ve tried everything but surgery…
she took that oath, that’s why they doing this to her, she is part of that organization, its deeper than just being a cop…..black people that become cops don’t even know what they just enlisted in… they truly think they are their to just their to protect and serve… but honey noooooo, this chyt is deeper….
Yeah Wiz!
chile what you saying,
cant wait to get home lol
She’s the second cop I like the other happens to be a black women too, and friend of mine. Something similar happened to my friend after she spoke out about the racist in her station. This was eons ago but she received the same back lash. Hell the other white male cops went as far as calling her a rat and leaving a dead rat on her desk . Smh.
Is this cheaper than regular weed? What’s the appeal?
And it weren’t no movie ?
Sandra Please fix this title.. No one in the world has ever overdosed on the Pure Cannabis
??
You said it, it cheaper and you can buy it at gas stations and convenience stores, although it’s illegal in some states.
Girl…cause when I saw post’s title. My thought was aint nobody ever od off weed!!! All ready to call bullshat on how the tryna to the herbals dirty. But it was that crap. Folk are crazy for smoking that.
Becoming a cop means you have to choose your family or your brother’s. You can’t have it both unless your families down too. It’s like being in a gang, and we all know what happens to gang members that try to drop their flag.
Lolololol that man made shyt lololo
So what’s cheap? Weed can’t be that expensive.
she would’ve been begging to ”taste the rainbow ” like Kenndys old enemy
Yes it is!!!they are trying to kill all of the black men!!! Just kidding lol
Cheap, can pass drug test by smoking that (no thc)
Welp!
Mouth ready right now!! ?
Preach!! Same with the military.
That is not weed that’s flakka.. Flakka was born in south Florida… hallendale to be exact people get butt both jazz naked rolling on the ground acting a fool
I was wondering if someone would call Sandra out about that .
lol
I’ve never purchased any, but it cant be too much higher than a 10.
I’m guessing five instead of ten. Idk. That shit smells like shit ?
I’m assuming it appeals to people because, it doesn’t take months to flush out your system like weed. A quarter bag of regular weed cost $25 With that you can get high for a week. These people are either to stupid or to damn cheap to buy real weed so they’d rather get high off of potpourri doused in poison.
Yes, I think you hit the nail on the head.
Regular weed? Honey this stuff is a chemical made in a lab. Regular weed as you say is very potent, and if they aint getting High, then they need to quit for a few weeks and build up the tolerance again. This stuff here was flooded in the Black communities where the Brain damage is worst from this synthetic than from smoking Crack. They will sell this crap instead of the real stuff..
1. Cannabis opens your mind to the evil that lerks
As an avid lover of pure beautiful cannibis this title is pure horse shit. Just like that fake weed ?
And I bet you aint talking about no Skittles. LOL
Do people who purchase this know that it’s synthetic?
Yes, I think they do, but they don’t know its effects until after it’s ingested/smoked.
This is true. But hell, wrong is wrong. And the men in blue have been tragically wrong in these cases. The truth hurts. She spoke the truth and is still speaking the truth. If officers didn’t take the job to protect and serve, they’re not only putting citizen lives at risk, but they’re putting the lives of their fellow “brothers” at risk. They need to get it together!
Hey bew !!! Word !!!!!…. just ordered a nice SACRED pipe on yo azz …. tell em again Harlem … sitting on the porch… see gif
THIS STUFF IS NOT WEED!!
??…I guess I’m damaged goods then…when I smoke my mind is closed and my pain goes away…I smoke by myself tho…
LOL..NOPE
Call it…makeajuana
Yeah, I know. I was talking about people who aren’t satisfied with “regular-smegular” weed, I call it hay. Got to buy designer weeds that are grown and not synthetic like Gorilla Glue, OG Kush, etc….
Me too hot…..me too.
Just say no! Sad.
+100
why call it “marijuana” when that’s NOT what it is? (that’s rhetorical @Sandra, don’t ‘pink box’ me, Sis).
I saw a special on the harm these synthetic drugs do to the brain. the people who were the ‘business owners’ were mainly young yt boyz who knew they could get away with marketing these chemical drugs as long as they sold them in packaging marked as “potpourri” or whatever – that way they’re not charged for manufacturing/distributing/selling drugs. please believe they were in it strictly for the money and cared not at all that folks brains were fried. they just douse some oregano with these dangerous chemicals, put it in a pretty package (think pop rocks), and send it to market. once they started legalizing natural marijuana and folks were allowed to grow their own, I think they intentionally ‘left the gate open’ for this b.s. to infiltrate our communities, smh.
Blunts are so 90’s, real smokers ONLY use Vapor and raw papers rolled joints. Its so many chemicals in Blunt paper. The other ways are a better. Oh you cant be a insecure person trying to smoke, you have to be confident and don’t let the experience control you, you have to catch the Waive and enjoy. I wish I knew yall I would show you. I love it, it hugs your insides.. Its the best ever!!!
yes!!! They still make/sell the brown stuff?
Are you 25%? You remind me of him.
Me too.. I be in my zone
They have to, they buy it from a gas station or a smoke shop for like 5.00 bucks for an ounce. They know
Spoken like a true stoner ..
A week off $25 Damn I feel bad …
Chile, I don’t know because I try my BEST not to purchase it.
Smoke for free.. I feel ya!!
My bad I wasn’t yelling, I was excited a post about my favorite thing in the World..
No, I try my best not to purchase Hay. Nothing. But. Loud.
I would smoke that in 2 days , especially if am off.
LOL you good.
we all here >>>*-*<<<<<
I’ve never smoked weed befor. Can any of you potheads out there describe the sensation that you get? *passes around the mic*
tears… many tears….
IT’S NOT MARIJUANA!!! Put some respek on it, please. Marijuana does not have this affect on people. This is potpourri or something else these fools are smoking.
Girl I been to Colorado. Damn near wanna move there but I hate cold weather…
All this!
Not real weed when ingredients are manufactured in a lab. People are going to learn one way or another. IMO.
Uh no I’m 100% African American.
And what about my statement reminds you of that clown?
Because I’m gay?
I feel the same way about the women who took pills from Bill Cosby.
We’re taught as children not to take anything from strangers, but we have grown women taking unknown pills from some Chester the Molester.
(accepts mic)Good evening….it just have you…STUCK…alledgedly?
Child, I didn’t even know you were gay. I was referring to your writing style.
Good day.
Ugh wish I could like this fifty million times.
whats the one thing they good for?
I see..lookin for that ultimate high get u laid out somewhere face down…
I like edibles. Same hi without looking hi (you know, red eyes) ?
Hey Soooooooul!
When i seen the corner store sellin damn EYE CONTACTS…this doesnt suprise me one bit!?
I want some …. Where is it !!
Sandra, these people are not potheads. Drug addicts, sure.
A relaxed buzzed feeling. You don’t get upset about anything. Half the time u don’t even wanna be around anyone else but the people in ur smoking session. You laugh and over analyze life lol there’s no hangover. Unless you sleep for two days after (happened before after a ton of it tho) then u feel like crap when u do get up. lol But if someone starts “tripping” out like crazy, they didn’t just smoke weed.
This is similar to the shyte that Wendy Willaims’ son wigged out on last year? She had to take him out of the country for intense treatment. Crazzzzy!
?? we just saying
Picking up the junk and cleaning up the mess.
It is a conspiracy by the federal government to damage the reputation of marijuana by misrepresenting this chemical as “synthetic marijuana”. Those unnatural evil chemicals have nothing at all to do with marijuana. Why is the government so anti-marijuana when it makes them very wealthy. I don’t understand.
Payne!?? You mean I’m giving the eye doctor my money when I can get some contacts at the bodega? Silly me!
Nothing cheap enough to cost someone their life. Nothing synthetic can replace natural marijuana.
Sad. Well they can’t pass the drug test if they’re dead.
Been thinking that all day
????
Lol. I can’t stop laughing!
It’s a cult.
Beautifully said.
LOL
+billon
5.00 for an ounce. What is it Ajax encrusted broccoli? The word synthetic doesn’t make people reconsider.
There has to be a stronger drug mixed with the fake weed. Cuz that shit is crazy
IKR….zombies for real.
It’s not marijuana. It’s potpourri and other stuff make to look like marijuana. No one overdoses on weed alone. I would love for you to change the title of your post.
U got me feelin’ higher,deeper than i ever dreamed of
You are on it. That’s all I use is my Pax, Pax 2 and I’m waiting on my Grasshopper pen. And I also like Funky Feel Tips, they are glass tips to roll with papers, Raw natural papers to be exact. Now, I’ve been vaping for about 2 years, and I love it, I get the same high I was getting when I used to smoke, but sometimes like every few months, I do like to roll a blunt, especially if I got a headache because I just want to take long draws and with my vapes I have to reload faster. But I love vaping, I feel less like a weed head when I vape.
I like edibles too. I make edibles with AVB (already vapes bud).
I only smoke Kush…dro…haze… No fake shiit… sorry for them tho ?
THIS ?
Mic check1 2 1 2 … Ok that feeling you get after a good book/nut your pick ? that’s the feeling… Jus really relaxed?
Ain’t nothing like the real ting dread I prefer real ganja it puts me to sleep and that’s that
Uhhruhhhh lol
Sounds like something different good goodness..
LOL….OK
Ok. Ok. Ohhhhkay!! ?? Corn ??Regular ?? Fiya ?? Sticks ??Stems ??Seeds??Anything the color of grass (or darker) in my yard. All these things are a waste/poison/piss me off!! im allergic to everything with a “??” frfr lol
Its called flakka
K2 is sooo 2010. I thought they banned it? But this is absolutely not weed. An overdose from weed is almost impossible.
I certify this statement??
I hear ya drop ?…I can’t even smoke reg that ish is sad AF? make you wanna clap the weed man,jk…?
I will drive my black ass all the way back to my boy house! I know me and my old man pay a couple of his bills monthly bills lol!
He is bugeted in and is line 8 of the payables lol!
Theres no such thing as “synthetic marijuana”. It’s called spice and I know a fool on that shit and he do be looking like the walking dead.#itsnotweed #weedisfromtheearth and #definantlynotsoldinstores.
Right. I had to read the headline about 3 times like ok…33… overdosed…on marijuana….????#tf
I tried a gummy one time and it really messed me up! I was super paranoid!
Rite… To avoid allat I’m jus stick to the ? I know ima get my moneys worth ?
Synthetic. That ain’t real smoke up. I worked at a halfway house and we had some residents who snuck in some K2. Man, those dudes were licking walls and some more ish. I don’t understand why anyone would want to smoke that mess.

UMMM K2 AKA SPICE IS LABELED AS NOT FOR CONSUMPTION… IT’S NOT EVEN REAL JANE.
UMMM K2 AKA SPICE IS LABELED AS NOT FOR CONSUMPTION… IT’S NOT EVEN REAL JANE.
I think I’ll invest in a vape.
I think I’ll invest in a vape.
I don’t consider this marijuana, this is man made foolishness. All the real stoners were probably watching this fukkry online, laughing and eating cheetos
Did u know baking soda and lemon juice rubbed on your lips will keep them pink?
Sure do ? thx tho ?
exactly, farmers are already splicing and they have crazy hybrid strains so now herb is super strong. OG Kush smell like a skunk factory and sticky like crazy glue. But I stopped smoking because the balance in the plants is off and too hybrid for me, so I only eat or drink home grown and make herb coconut shea butter massage oil.
Yeah, you should. It cuts down on how much you use.
Yeah…if what I’m reading about it is true…the heading to this story needs to be changed…don’t give Maryjane a bad rep…
Okay. I’m getting more into edibles, I’ve only make cannabutter and use it to make brownies. I’m tired of brownies and want to try and bake something different.
Ummm hmm. Going to do my research.
Here in Pennsylvania also.. That ish is cray..
Lol.. funny you said potpourri bevause thats how they tried to market that is here in Pa.. I’m glad I never tried it..
Suspension will be the least of her worries. She went against the grain. The same people she is talking about are the same ones she may need out there. I would not be surprised if she ended up in some “mess” or some “dirt”. Oh, they’re going to make her remember those words. I can only imagine what life had been like around there since the video came out.
She’s going to need a lot (of prayers) to carry her through, up, under or around. ? ?
Lose an eyeball if you wanna. ? Won’t be no Let You Soul Glow. You’ll be walking around here with a glowing eyeball. ? Gone gitchu a pair. I’m gonna sit right here and not say a nary word…but…”look at her eyeball. She got them at the bodega. 2 for $10.” ? ?
That started out so beautiful. ?
Eeww Smh

#DEAD
#PRAISE DANCES????
Smoke real weed not synthetic
I dont get the point of fake weed
I am dying over here lol.
If they in rehab they can’t smoke real shyt. They get blood tested I’m sure
I laughed, and no cheetos for me, I’m on a lifestyle change.
this doesnt happen with real weed
Here in Houston it’s callled Kush.
Recently 16 people passed out in “Kush Corner” ftom a bad batch.
I think they use it because it is legal to use in some areas where weed is illegal to use.
Oh the logic…they turn into zombies if they smoke the “legal” fake weed…but if we smoke the “illegal” homegrown marijuana we Jus feelin lovely and calm…lol, OK
Idiots
Sis, I have perpetual tears when I’m around that man.
LOL. I’m sure he wouldn’t want any money from a fine, young tender. Ahahahaha
Vice did a show on this and please believe these people be all the way phucked up and I mean all the waaay. Its called K2
Is this the same stuff that caused Wendy Williams’ to send her son to rehab? It sounds as dangerous as bath salts. I’m glad she was on top of the situation enough to get him help before it got out of hand, though.
The brain damage is real. People are zombies and if you get them to hold a conversation it’s so crazy what they are saying it’s unreal. Brains are forever changed. The withdrawal is so bad it’s like what I have seen on tv. After seeing what I saw I don’t think relationships survive this especially if one spouse smokes and the other doesn’t. They hear voices and shyt. Whoever unleashed this was thinking about way more than making money.
stay AWAY from the K2 folks…Mkay!
Look at these FOOLS!!! Why would you smoke synthetic drugs?? Why? This just lets you know people will do just about anything to escape their reality. If people are that low in their lives they to seek mental health services because that’s the problem.
Lol we call it bammer…. or Bobby brown!!!
That’s the new LOUD in NOLA!!! smh…. it’s NOT good….
I had my first edible weeks ago. I was sooooo laid back. I almost got into a fight and I was too calm it was creepy to the other people. So they backed off.
Lol. Weed=peace.
Maybe my tolerance is too high, but vaping does nothing for me, and raws never seem to burn through and through… I use a pipe, blunts or I’ll eat a few edibles, and I need about two of those…
I wish that applied to me…lol… I just had to keep reloading, recharging, cool down…. by the time I did all that I wish I had rolled up.
