NEW HAVEN -- The DEA is taking part in the investigation on how over 40 people overdosed in New Haven Wednesday.

The majority of cases are centered on the New Haven Green, adjacent to Yale University. The call on the overdoses came in around 8 a.m.

Brian Boyle, the Special Agent in Charge of the DEA in New Haven said the DEA is assisting NHPD. They have sent some of the evidence to their NYC lab for investigation.

They believe this is some form of synthetic marijuana laced with some other ingredient.

One patient didn't respond to Naloxone a drug used to treat narcotic overdoses in emergency situations, and is very sick, according to Rick Fontana, the citys director of the Office of Emergency Operations. The patients were taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital and St. Raphael's Hospital.

Do you think if they had a safe place to purchase this would still happen often?

It's almost as if one of the big arguments for legalizing (real) weed, is that it will significantly reduce demand for these much more harmful synthetics and replace it with demand for a relatively harmless substance that has not known to have directly caused even a single death (and very few even indirectly).

People wouldn't smoke that shit if weed was legal and various companies/employers would take the giant stick out of their asses and not test for freakin weed.

There's no difference between some guy having a beer after a long day and a guy having a joint after a long day.
