Connecticut's Mass K2 Overdose Raises Fears About Fentanyl’s Growing Reach | Inverse

Interesting that people are concluding it was K2 w/ ketamine, based on (partial) reversal with naloxone. Just wouldn’t have thought the bioavailability of smoked fentanyl would be that substantial.

Didn’t read the article, but what I saw today on the news was that they were thinking k2 was laced with fentanyl?

Since when does naloxone reverse cannabis or ketamine?

Never heard of K2 until today, but it was dropping civilians left and right.

I didn't read it either, but I know some places are giving the police naloxone to give and it wouldn't surprise me if they just use it knee jerk in cases of suspected overdose.

Listened on NPR. Apparently some of these bozos signed out AMA, came right back after smoking another joint.

At a certain point we should just let nature take its course

I thought about exactly that, when I learned it was free sample.

The same thing happened in Philadelphia a few weeks back. Free samples, psychosis, unknown causative agent. Let's hope this is over and it isn't passing throgh the northeastern drug corridor, because the latter will mean supply hits Boston next

All you East Coasters really have to learn how to handle your drugs. Bunch of ametures over there.

Happened in Indianapolis a few months back, too. Didn’t make it to national news because it was so far from Yale...

Whatever happened to good ol’ fashioned organic REEFER?

This stuff is ******ed. They call it kush, and I’ve seen a lot of patients come through the ER on this stuff that are straight up dumb. They are in a psychosis. We just sedated them and metabolize to freedom

 

[deleted162650]

They call it kush

But was it kush or OG kush??

These millennials just need an 1/8th of Girl Scout cookies and a couch with “Blue Planet” readily available and a bag of Kettle Chips so they can call it a day

Exactly. Just legalize it and people won’t need the shady synthetic stuff.

I wish I had never heard of this stuff. Alas, every ER and ICU doc is well aware. We’ve all intubated a half dozen and wanted to intubate another dozen of these folks.

I keep meaning to ask these patients after they stop freaking the fk out if they really enjoy the spice high. It seems like people use it as a weed substitute which I just cannot for the life of me understand

Yea, I've had the daily users, but they just don't seem like the ”let's rage on pcp/ketamine while bleeding out our eyeballs” tweaker types. At least not once they sober up
