NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The number of overdose victims linked to a suspected bad batch of synthetic marijuana has risen to 76 in New Haven, Connecticut, as officials try to determine exactly what sickened people.
People on and around the historic New Haven Green near Yale University began falling ill shortly after 8 a.m. Wednesday, and the overdoses continued into Thursday morning. No deaths were reported, and most people brought to hospitals have been discharged, officials said.
Symptoms varied. Many victims lost consciousness, officials said. Others vomited. Some just became nauseous or lethargic.

ReplyDeleteThey should just compete to be named the next location for the National Folk Festival. That would really turn New Haven around.
