VIDEO: Zombie-Like Man Attacks Police Officers Because of Legal Drug
There is a lot of discussion over whether or not marijuana really is good for people.
There are valid points for both parts and the case hasn’t been settled and closed yet. While it has some health benefits, it can also dumb you down if you really abuse it.
Anyway, the one thing that everyone can agree on is while the natural one might or might not be good, the synthetic one is definitely bad for people and shouldn’t exist.
Those that take it have weird and dangerous effects and could harm others or themselves.
This is because you don’t even know what exactly it is you are putting in your body so the harm can potentially be that much bigger.
According to viral4real.com, firefighters and police are claiming to have seen several people high on ‘serenity’ on the streets of Lexington, Kentucky.
They see people in the streets who are passed out, hallucinating, and lethargic.
Police were called out to a gas station near West New Circle Road and Russell Cave Road around 6 p.m.
Officers said they found four people in that area overdosing on the synthetic drug.
While the others were completely passed out, one of the four men was woken up and started to become combative.
Apparently, he had a bad reaction to the drug. He then slammed his head through the window of a business, breaking the glass.
Officers told WKYT that man also tried to bite an officer. The man had to be tasered twice, but he was still strong enough to stand up and try to attack another officer.
The man fell unconscious a few moments later, allowing the police officers to take them into custody. All four men survived the overdose.
They said two people could be charged for assaulting an officer. Lexington police say no officers were injured.
What is ‘Serenity’ or Synthetic Marijuana?
Though it looks like marijuana, Serenity is far from it.
Synthetic weed also has some nasty side effects.
Also known as “spice,” “herbal incense,” “legal,” or “K2,” synthetic marijuana is sold as a safe, legal alternative to marijuana.
In reality, it holds an equal and often greater risk to a person than marijuana does because of its unpredictability and many negative side effects.
According to serenitytexas.com, synthetic marijuana products produce effects similar to those of marijuana, including altered perception, elevated mood, and relaxation.
The active ingredients in synthetic marijuana or synthetic cannabinoids, which mimic the effects of marijuana by acting on the same cell receptors in the brain.
In some cases, synthetic marijuana may even have a stronger effect than cannabis.
This isn’t the first horrible case we see in which someone who decided to consume this type of drug ended up not having any control over his own body and mind and became violent.
People shouldn’t take any drugs unless they are prescribed by a medic because you can never be sure what you are actually taking and things could go bad pretty quickly.
