 Synthetic Marijuana Causes Stroke and Paralysis in Teenage Girl
Seventeen-year-old Emily Bauer, from Cypress, Texas is now blind and paralyzed after smoking synthetic marijuana. She suffered severe strokes after smoking the fake drug.
She and her friends had bought the fake marijuana from a local gas station in December. Emily complained of a shooting headache just 15 minutes after she had smoked it and felt she was going to pass out.

She suffered many strokes that sent her into a psychotic state and police had to be called to control her. She began to suffer violent hallucinations and tried to hurt herself many times.

Emily suffered many seizures which was a result of many strokes in her brain.

The pressure inside Emily’s brain was so high that doctors had to drill a hole in her skull to enable some relief. More than 70% of her brain is dead and she may not be able to recognize her family or even be able to walk again.

This story should be a wake up call for all those who resort to drugs, especially fake ones. Beware of the risks of smoking synthetic marijuana, also known as spice.
