June 7, 2018, British Medical Journal
Synthetic cannabis, also popularly known as 'spice' or 'k2,' may boost the risk of a stroke in young users, warn US doctors writing in the journal BMJ Case Reports.
The warning follows their treatment of a 25 year old prison inmate who had no family history of heart disease or traditional cardiovascular risk factors, and who was left with a permanent disability.
He was brought to emergency care in a state of severe confusion, with weakness on the right side of his body and double incontinence.
