Emergency rooms not sure how to detect fake pot symptoms

Last month, we had a story about a group of Starpoint students who got sick after using medical marijuana.

Too many emergency room doctors are unfamiliar with the symptoms of synthetic marijuana use.

That’s according to a new study showing more and more teenagers are being sent to the ER after using the substance.

Researchers say the drugs marketed as K2, Spice and Blaze are still so new that there’s very little medical literature available on it.

They conclude doctors should begin sharing information with other doctors as well as with schools and parents on the symptoms of synthetic marijuana abuse.
