@rugburn:
Lol Kush isn't a chemical concoction, it's a strain of weed. You're thinking of K2/Spice/potpourri/"legal" weed - that stuff is bad news.
@HoofHearted: Apparently there is a new KUSH that is a synthetic version. This is a recent story in the Memorial News.

Dozen overdose at Hermann Park’s ‘Kush corner’
Emergency vehicles respond to a report of multiple people overdosing in Hermann Park on Thursday.
At least 16 people were hospitalized after overdosing at Hermann Park on Thursday.The
Houston Fire Department responded to multiple calls for unresponsive
people in the park near Fannin Street and Cambridge Street around 2:30
p.m., officials said. According to Senior Captain Ruy Lozano, the 16
were found with Kush-like symptoms.Kush is a type of illegal synthetic marijuana.“This
area has notoriously been plagued with people abusing Kush,” Lozano
said. “Many of our firefighters have nicknamed this area as ‘Kush
corner.’”Firefighters and paramedics spent hours
canvassing the park looking for additional patients. Lozano said they
found some as far north as the Sam Houston Statue and down Main Street
to Cambridge Street.“There were some complications also with the heat,” Lozano said. “That really made it dangerous.”The area has a large homeless population, he said.“This
has just become a place that they congregate and a Kush-use area,”
Lozano said. “A lot of our units get pulled to this area.”Houston
Police Department homicide investigators D. Crowder confirmed that 16
people were taken to five different hospitals. The department is
investigating if there was a potential common distribution or
distributor that may have caused this incident.Crowder
added that at this point no one who was involved in today’s incident
was seriously injured as far as he is aware. He said this area has
become a problem area and has attracted a lot of crime and drugs
recently.Crowder said many poor or indigent
people are taken to Ben Taub Hospital and then when they are released
they end up right back at Hermann Park.No other information was available as of press time. Reporter Kristi Nix contributed to this report.
@TexasOma:
Maybe so but the stuff bagged up in the pictures from the bust is actual weed, not that synthetic stuff. Kush, the strain, has been around for ages. 4951
