NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- At least 41 people have overdosed from suspected
synthetic marijuana at or near a Connecticut city park, authorities said Wednesday. Most of the overdoses happened on the New Haven Green -- a
downtown park near Yale University -- throughout the day Wednesday,
according to officials.

The Office of Emergency Management in New Haven said it is still fielding
calls and the number of victims could increase.

An official in the city said earlier there were a total of 25 overdoses
over a three-hour span and that some overdoses were "in multiples of 4-6
at a time." All of those overdoses were in the area of the New Haven
Green, said Rick Fontana, the city's director of emergency operations.

No deaths have been reported.

Fontana said the city's 911 center started receiving calls just after 8
a.m. about possible overdoses at the park. Responding personnel found individuals suffering from "a multitude of signs and symptoms ranging from vomiting, hallucinating, high blood pressure, shallow breathing, semi- conscious and unconscious states," he said in an email.

"Two individuals had life-threatening symptoms, and the others had non- life-threatening symptoms," he said.

Fire Chief John Alston Jr. said Wednesday morning that victims apparently consumed K2 synthetic marijuana, but investigators will await toxicology
test results to confirm that. Synthetic marijuana is plant material
sprayed with chemicals that can mimic the high from real marijuana.

Why synthetic marijuana can cause "really bizarre" symptoms
Sandy Bogucki, EMS medical director in New Haven, said they heard from
people on the green Wednesday morning that whatever was consumed
"potentially" contained PCP and that some of the reactions of the patients
in the emergency department suggest an opioid was involved.

Officials said the patients were "all different ages" and that anti-
overdose drugs given to some victims did not work.

Police said they arrested a man believed to be connected to at least some
of the overdoses. The suspect's name wasn't immediately released.

More than a dozen people overdosed on synthetic marijuana at the same park
July 4.

CBS affiliate WFSB-TV reports that the federal Drug Enforcement
Administration is involved with the investigation.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
