n 2017, several people in Utah became seriously ill from a poison outbreak linked to synthetic cannabinoids. Last spring, there were 56 reports of severe bleeding in Chicago and other areas across Illinois where synthetic cannabinoids were suspected to be the culprit. Two of these 56 people died in what a spokesperson for the Illinois Department of Public Health said was “the first time we’ve seen an outbreak of this magnitude in the area.”
Last summer, similar stories were seen in Connecticut, where more than 70 people overdosed on synthetic marijuana. Just a month before this, there were some 300 synthetic cannabinoid overdoses in Washington, D.C. in a two-week period.
In short: you should never use synthetic CBD oil.
