Another death linked to synthetic marijuana

The Illinois Department of Public Health is confirming another death linked to synthetic cannabinoids.
The latest fatality, a woman in her 30’s from central Illinois brings the total to four now. More than 150 people have suffered severe bleeding after using the drug. Public Health Director Doctor Nirav Shah says police are looking into a batch that was apparently laced with rat poison and makes people very sick.
Synthetic cannabinoids are made up many combinations of chemicals, so users can’t be sure what they’re getting. The drug goes by the names fake weed, k-2, spice and black mamba among others.
