Deadly Drug Has Made Its Way To Winnebago County
Just days after a fourth person dying after using synthetic cannabinoids, Winnebago County Health Department is reporting the drug has made it's way to Rockford. According to WCHD, three people were admitted to Rockford hospitals with severe bleeding after using synthetic cannabinoids. The health department says the drug is not natural, legal, or safe.
We strongly urge everyone NOT to use synthetic cannabinoids.
The health effects of using synthetic cannabinoids can be unpredictable, harmful and deadly. Synthetic cannabinoids are man-made mind-altering drugs. Synthetic cannabinoids are sometimes misleadingly labeled as "synthetic marijuana" or "fake weed."
