What is that story? I’ve not heard it and I find it hard to believe.
Why did she end up brain damaged while people who smoked the rest of the batch that was sold did not. It’s impossible to believe that one person had such an extreme reaction when others did not - unless it was an allergic reaction.
Edit 2: Thanks for the link… it certainly sounds like a case to be interested in but it’s worth pointing out that stroke caused her brain damage, not the drug directly and that smoking cigarettes can also cause stroke. Her life has clearly been fucked up by having that stroke, but she’s making a decent recovery: http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/miracle-progress-teen-near-death-synthetic-marijuana-article-1.1456099
That article also points out that, contrary to the phraseology of The Independent article, she had been smoking the stuff daily for two weeks before having the strokes, which I feel casts doubt on it being the cause.
Not sure how it is elsewhere, but in the US PNW quite a bit of high end is outdoor Oregon / Nor Cal grown.
Does the bud have seeds in it? If so then it’s a testimony to the powerful genetics, if not then they’re doing something to ensure their precious babies aren’t being pollinated.
Here in Australia you typically get hydro in the cities and outdoor anywhere where’s there’s privacy and space to grow it (in the country). You can often find someone selling outdoor (we call it ‘bush bud’) in the city but who wants that when you can get higher from hydro by smoking less plant matter?
