Be advised! Synthetic cannabinoid products linked to severe bleedingPN EditorThursday
It's possible that there's an anticoagulant or blood thinner in this batch of drugs, and that's causing the bleeding, Dr. Jerrold Leikin, the director of toxicology at NorthShore University HealthSystem told NBC Chicago. "What we are seeing is people are coming in with various types of bleeding", CBS Chicago quotes the chief medical officer of the Illinois Department of Public Health as saying. "Very severe bleeding that's prompting them to go to the emergency room".
The Indiana State Department of Health is warning Hoosiers about the dangers of synthetic cannabinoids, often called fake weed, K2, spice, OMG, Scooby Snacks, AK-47 or other names, after reports this month that individuals in IL and Indiana suffered severe bleeding after using the substances. Officials say there have so far been no deaths connected with the synthetic pot.

A completely revamped Congress is likely to be in place in the coming times, as stated by the party president himself. This is a set of important appointments after the Congress Plenary that was held in Delhi between March 16 and 18.
Even so, severe bleeding is not a known side effect of the drugs, Dr. Melissa Millewich, an emergency room physician at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in IL told the Tribune. But the chemicals used can be different every time the K2 is made, and therefore symptoms are unpredictable.
Although individuals report obtaining synthetic cannabinoid products in the Chicagoland area, contaminated products could be in counties across the state. Patients have reported getting synthetic pot from dealers, friends, and convenience stores, and officials are trying to identify a single product linking the cases. These products may be known as herbal or liquid incense and have brand names such as K2, Spice, Black Mamba, Bombay Blue, Genie, and Zohai, but may be packaged under other brand names.
