Mass Overdose In Brooklyn - 33 People On One Intersection In Bed-Stuy Overdosed On K2 Yesterday

NBC News – Thirty-three people were taken to the hospital Tuesday morning after authorities responded to calls of people overdosing on K2 near a Brooklyn intersection that has been called one of the worst spots in New York City for synthetic drug use. Authorities said the victims were taken to Woodhull and Wyckohoff hospitals after authorities were called to the scene near Broadway and Myrtle Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant.  Authorities said that it wasn’t clear what drug the people who were transported to hospitals had ingested, but the NYPD said that at least five were reportedly smoking the cheap synthetic cannabinoid commonly called K2 outside a building on Stockton Street.  The woman who called 911 to report the men smoking told NBC 4 New York they were vomiting and urinating. Witnesses told DNAinfo that the victims collapsed on the sidewalk and subway platforms.  “When they smoke that stuff, they drop like flies,” another neighbor who gave his name as Chino told NBC 4 New York.  Others said use of K2 in that part of Brooklyn is out of control. Residents have even posted warning signs reading “No Smoking K2.”  “It’s gotten out of hand,” said Dennis Gonzalez of Bushwick. “They even sleep in the street, we have to walk around them. It’s just too much to keep under control.”  Earlier this year, DNAinfo reported that the area around the intersection was becoming a hotbed for K2 use. The site reported that stores in the area were selling the drug even though it was outlawed by the city in 2015. Since 2015, there have been more than 6,000 K2-related emergency room visits in New York City, according to the city’s health department. There have been two confirmed deaths associated with the drug. 

33 people in one day on one intersection! Thats one hell of a party man.

Shout out to Desus Nice and the Kid Mero who I think are 100% responsible for this. Interview all 33 of those people I bet they tell you they listen to the Bodega Boys. “Shoutout the sponsor” they’ll say. Not to get all hippie dippie on you, but you gotta go with that natural shit, man. That synthetic stuff is too much. Theres a reason why weed grows naturally on this planet. It was put here for a reason. You start fucking around with K2 and Salvia and bath salts all that other manufactured shit and you’re gonna end up half dead on the corner of Broadway and Myrtle. I’ve never touched K2. Not even when I was rollerblading busting my ass trying to pull off a unity grind. Roces, baby:

But I did smoke a small amount of salvia and was straight up bursting. Steered clear of that shit ever since. Like I said, keep it natural, man. Stick to grass.
